Triple Trouble: Animal Sinterklaas (Dutch: Trippel Trappel: Dierensinterklaas) is a 2014 Dutch-Belgian traditionally animated adventure film written and directed by Albert 't Hooft and Paco Vink in their feature film directorial debuts.[1][2]

As animals do not believe in Sinterklaas, Freddy, Cari and Mosus go on a journey to find Sinterklaas and give him their Christmas list in person.[1]

Dutch voice cast

Production

Albert 't Hooft and Paco Vink founded their own studio Anikey Studios, in 2007 at The Hague. [3] Commissioned animators from Il Luster Productions approached them in 2008 to direct and write the film with Arnoud Rijken and Michiel Snijders acted as producers.[4] In order to improve their storytelling skills and build a team of animators, 't Hooft and Vink created with il Luster Productions two 10-minute short films and the 25-minute Paul and the Dragon (Dutch: Paultje en de Draak). With a budget of €1.7 million for Triple Trouble: Animal Sinterklaas, 't Hooft stated "I don’t want to be too proud of that since it isn’t realistic. The last six months we ['t Hooft and Vink] practically worked for free because there was more to be done than we anticipated."[3]

Release

Triple Trouble: Animal Sinterklaas was released in Dutch cinemas on 8 October 2014 by A-Film Distribution.[5] It was released in Belgium on 22 October by Kinepolis Film Distribution, simultaneously in Dutch and French. In Belgium, it grossed $352,618 from 485 screens.[6][7]
