Karius and Baktus
Directed by Ivo Caprino
Produced by Caprino Filmcenter a/s
A whimsical, mid-century puppet animation that uses mischievous tooth trolls and dental hygiene as a playful vehicle for teaching children about brushing and healthy habits.
The little tooth trolls Karius and Baktus tries to persuade Jens not to brush his teeth, and their picking holes in his teeth can go on as planned. If the mother's plea to Jens is winning, the happy days of white bread and syrup is over.
