Old Pettersson lives on the outskirts of a small village somewhere in Sweden. Together with his cat Findus and his ten white hens, he constantly finds himself on wonderfully funny and exciting adventures. This heartwarming and humorous animated series is based on the popular children’s books by Swedish author Sven Nordqvist. Tailored for children, the episodes tell the story of the special friendship between the inventive old man Pettersson and his lively, talking cat Findus. The focus is on everyday situations that are transformed into little adventures thanks to Findus’ curiosity and Pettersson’s imagination. The episodes convey values such as friendship, helpfulness, creativity, and a sense of responsibility. Conflicts are presented in a way that young children can understand and are always resolved in a positive, solution-oriented manner, while adults will also enjoy the subtle irony. In doing so, the production manages to translate the magic of the literary source material into a contemporary audiovisual format without losing its original charm. It's Findus' birthday, and he's really looking forward to his birthday cake.
