The dog Moppi from the children's show "Unser Sandmännchen" is turning 50. He first appeared on television on April 3, 1976, according to Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb). With the episode "Moppi hinter dem Zaun" he made his first appearance in the program "Unser Sandmännchen" on German television in the GDR
"Since then, he and his friends Pittiplatsch and Schnatterinchen have accompanied generations of children to bed with their evening greeting stories," the statement said. You can now watch a compilation of old and new scenes in the media library to mark the anniversary.
A few years ago, the dog character also got his own TV show with "Moppi und der Leckerladen". In it, chef Maya shows Moppi how to cook - for example "Monster Pesto" and "Wuffeln", waffles with spinach.
Since 2023, you can also watch Moppi having adventures with the purple cat MiWau. From today, there will be a second season: the new episodes are each three and a half minutes long and are broadcast weekly on Mondays on "Unser Sandmännchen" - on Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb), KiKa and MDR. The program is also available for streaming in the ARD Mediathek.
