swiftbell asked: I didn't think anyone knew of Pettson & Findus outside of Sweden since it's so typical Swedish? How'd you come across it in the first place?
I was blessed with a very good set of parents who recorded almost every strange piece of animation they saw on television, and especially things like Channel 4 doing occasional animation appreciation weeks featuring work from specific countries, which resulted in me being allowed to see quite a few Russian cartoons as well as Swedish, French and German! Having said that I only had the episodes that we had recorded so while me and my sister would watch those on loop we never really got to see all of any one of the series.
