Sprookjesboom the Film will be released in the Netherlands and Belgium on February 22nd.  What you may not know is that world-famous DJ Armin van Buuren is one of the main cast.  He plays ‘Kabouter Kluns’ (Gnome Clumsy) and ‘IJsdraak’ (Ice Dragon).

”Maybe no one really expected this from a DJ like me, but this has been a big dream of mine for a very long time. I’ve always been involved with voiceovers on the radio and besides that I’m a big movie and cartoon fan.”

It was a while ago that we told you that Loeki the Lion would be finally leaving Carnaval Festival, and that the original occupier, Jokie, would be returning.  Well, it has happened, and Jokie has been installed into various scenes throughout the attraction.  It is nice to see him back, as he fits a lot better with the theming than Loeki ever seemed to!  RHvanLeest posted this video of the ride, with a focus on Jokie:

He looks pretty good; I like Italian Jokie the best, but I’m not sure that Jokie driving out of a German pub is such a great idea!  Don’t drink and drive folks!

Thanks to vijfzintuigen.nl and RHvanLeest.

I came across a great video on YouTube, taken by mieluhkuh, of the interior and exterior of Polle’s Keuken.  It show the detail on the outside of the building, including outside seating, and the Happiness Station where you can buy ice cream.  Inside it is very Efteling-esque, quite dark, quirky and charming.  Make sure you watch all of the video to see all the features that this new pancake restaurant has!

Have a great weekend, and join us on Facebook 🙂

Not too long ago, Efteling posted a link to a very amusing and slightly surreal music video on their Facebook page.  Being English and not really knowing any Dutch, I have to admit that I have no idea what is going on in the video, however, I couldn’t help but laugh at it anyway!

I thought I would share it with you all to cheer up your Monday.

As a side note, we now have 42 ‘likes’ on our Facebook page!  Please keep sending your friends over to us to check out the site.
