the 1990s, yet another series materialised as 26 5-minute episodes for two periods, 1996 and 1998. This was a European co-production involving Danish animation veterans A. Film. An iPad application has also been created featuring Rasmus Klump (2011). Name Rasmus Klump is a proper name; "Rasmus" comes from the older strip "Strudsen Rasmus" (Rasmus the Ostrich), which Rasmus Klump replaced; "Klump" was added to give him a family name, and comes from a dog the Hansens knew; the name "Bjørnen Rasmus" (Rasmus the Bear) was originally suggested. Rasmus Klump is not to be confused with Bamse, a well-known Swedish cartoon figure.
