Stuntkip



Stuntkip is a chicken from Sesamstraat, the Dutch co-production of Sesame Street.

Stuntkip (Stuntchicken) is always together with Angsthaas. He is a daring chicken that does things to show people not to be affraid for the common.

Introduced in 2008, Stuntkip has a minor part in Sesamstraat. He was created in order to introduce the subject of "scary things to do in life for small childeren". Like going to the dentist, barber or pick up a ball that they shoot into the garden of a neighbour. "If a chicken dares these things, maybe it wouldn't be so frightened to small childeren", according editor Ajé Boschhuizen.

Angsthaas and Stuntkip where created on 17th april 2007 by the crew. This was during a teambuilding day they had on the canals in Amsterdam. The crew show some fotos of possible muppets to expand the Sesamstraat family. When they saw a picture of a chicken with a helmed and protecting glasses the instantly came up with the name of Stuntkip.
