First appeared in black and white on Dutch newspapers in the 50s and 60s, Pim & Pom is a series about the mischievous adventures of two cats. With abundant imagination and energy, these two lifelong friends turn every day into something very special! A vacuum cleaner can be a monster, a pile of newspapers can be a house, and a bathroom floor a skating rink. Through thick and thin Pim and Pom always stand by each other. A fresh, original, and endearing animation series.
