Bumfidel

Bumfidel is a child character who appeared in film segments on Sesamstrasse beginning in 1976, replacing the street scenes from American Sesame Street. Bumfidel was a cheerful child who lived with his mother (played by Ingeburg Kanstein). He had a fondness for animals and toys and had various adventures.

The character proved popular enough to launch a series of children's books, as well as the 1976 record album Bumfidel aus der Sesamstrasse. The segments were filmed in Hamburg.
