Der Hund Bohumil (translated to English as Bohumil the Dog) is a German Animated Children's TV Series that was created and directed by the Czech book-illustrator and animation-designer Hana Štěpánová (known in Germany as Hana Stepan)[1] and the music was composed by Heinz Funk, using a synthesizer, simulating a zither on many occasions[2]. The series aired on the West German version of the German children's bedtime TV program "Sandmännchen" on NDR Fernsehen and HR Fernsehen from 1975-1976, and was produced by Studio Hamburg. The series used a stop-motion cut-out animation technique, with the hand-drawn characters being laid to the backgrounds and moved frame by frame. It's unknown how many episodes were made, but it's probably more than 26 episodes. As time passed, the series became extremely obscure, with no Home Media release being made for the series.
Premise
The series revolved around an anthropomorphic dog called Bohumil, who had a group of other anthropomorphic animal friends, such as a pig, a bunny, a cow, owls, a bird, and roosters. Bohumil's best friends are a chicken, who has five baby chicks, and a white goose. In each episode, Bohumil and his best friends go on adventures and learn basic lessons, like watching insects through a binocular and learning how to make the laundry. The series was simple: it had an approximately 3-minute run time in each episode, the series had no intro or credits, and all the characters in the series remained mute, with the animals communicating by doing sounds.
International Airings
Despite the series originally airing on the West German Sandmännchen for one year, the series aired internationally in Israel and in Brazil in children's TV programs that featured European cartoons from around the world. In Isreal, the series aired in "רכבת ההפתעות" (Translated to English as The Train of Surprises) from the '80s to the '90s. In Brazil, the series aired on "Glub Glub" throughout the '90s. In Brazil, the series gained a small cult following in Lost Media culture. The series also gained another small cult following in Mexico, when the Mexican YouTube channel, "Rarezas", uploaded a video discussing the series.
Reception
The series didn't have many good ratings. The bad ratings were due to the cheap animation and unsettling character designs.
Status
For 39 years, the series wasn't available anywhere online. There was absolutely no information about the series on the Internet. In the 2000s and early 2010s, there were many people from Brazil who commented in several forums about watching the series on "Glub Glub". Despite some people from Brazil who remembered watching the series, the series wasn't watchable anywhere online. However, from 2014-2019, YouTube user "Nostalgic Dreamers (ND CHANNEL)" uploaded 14 episodes from the series that were taken from VHS Tapes of the "Glub Glub" broadcasts of the series. Nostalgic Dreamers (ND CHANNEL) was terminated in the early 2020s, so the videos aren't watchable, with the only surviving footage from the videos being from short clips from some of the videos that were shown in the YouTube video "Desenhos Perdidos da Tv Cultura 01 - Nicolau e a Turma do Quintal" that was uploaded by the YouTube channel "Nostal_Gi", which currently owns all the videos that were uploaded on Nostalgic Dreamers (ND CHANNEL).
On October 5th, 2019, a Lost Media Wiki Forum user "Strekoza" discovered a website documenting German TV channel schedules from April 15th, 1976, including an NDR Fernsehen airdate for a Der Hund Bohumil episode on Sandmännchen. On December 7th, 2019, YouTube user "Canal 8" uploaded episode 2 which was also taken from a "Glub Glub" broadcast from the episode. From 2022-2023, YouTube user "נוסטה לגיה" uploaded 10 full episodes of the series, that were also taken from the "רכבת ההפתעות" broadcastes from the series. In 2023, YouTube user "Retro_Cartoons_1990" uploaded 9 episodes that were originally uploaded by "נוסטה לגיה", and restorted the videos with an AI Video Quality Upscaler. On February 5th, 2024, LMW user "PTV for Old TV Times" discovered another website documenting German TV channel schedules from March 1st, 1976, including an HR Fernsehen airdate for a Der Hund Bohumil on Sandmännchen. This episode of Der Hund Bohumil on the scheduled airdate is "Das Kostümfest". It's unknown what episode number the episodes belong to.
NDR and HR Fernsehen can't release or share any episodes, not even private copies, due to NDR's recording service being completely discontinued on December 31st, 2019. HR Fernsehen confirmed that they are not involved in the production of the series, despite broadcasting it on their channel. The only way the remaining episodes will resurface is through VHS recordings when they were airing on TV.
Book Adaptations
In 2015 and 2018, Hana Štěpánová, the creator of the series, wrote two books telling all the stories told in the episodes in stories. The illustrations that accompanied the stories and the book, looked similar in style to the moments in the cartoon.
