    Can anyone remind me where this animation comes from and the name? I am a sucker for stop motion kind of animations

      It’s an old Czechoslovakian show called Pat & Mat. Took me a while to remember the name, it’s been a long time since I last saw them on TV. Really good and universal slapstick humor.

        It’s been popular in the Netherlands for decades under the name “Buurman en Buurman”(Neighbor and Neighbor).
        I only learned now that the dubbing was something they did specifically with the Dutch release. Can’t imagine this show being silent.

          That for me is incredibly strange. Basically means for the Netherlands a massive change was made in the original medium. If it makes it better or worse I can’t tell, but I would personally always check the original to understand better what was the original intent of the show (which I plan to do with this one. I need more stop motion animation in my life)
