Kabouter Plop (Plop the Gnome) is the eponymous protagonist in a children's television series by Studio 100. History Kabouter Plop was born on August 27, 1997. Then the first episode, entitled "The pendulum gramophone", was broadcast on VTM. On August 28, 1997, the second episode Taart for Kwebbel was broadcast. A total of 295 episodes were recorded and broadcast. A few feature films were also shot after that time. From September 2017, new episodes were broadcast under the name Plop en Felle. The children's program was a huge success, and actor Walter De Donder (61) returned to plaing the role of Plop after 14 years. "I'm still wearing my first suit and it still looks nice," jokes Walter De Donder when he recalls memories. The television series is directed by Bart Van Leemputten and Gert Verhulst. Most episodes last about five minutes and are set in Plop's milk inn, which is a toadstool in which he sells plop-milk and plop-cookies, and it's also the place where most gnomes go for some Plop-cookies, Plop-milk, or Gnome-porridge. All the gnomes live in the Gnome forest. The stories often involve pranks by naughty Kabouter Klus ("Handy"). Each episode starts with Plop lying in bed and reviewing what happened the past day. At the end of the episode he says he goes to "Gnome dream land". Most episodes contain a moral. Characters The characters in the movies are caricatured. Each gnome has its own typical quirks. Characteristic of all gnomes are the extremely fat bellies, long elf noses, the large clown shoes, and the two-pointed hats, the tips of which come up when they are startled.
