His parents aren’t too happy about it, but Babs can keep the animal as long as Knor attends a puppy class. Lead vocals are provided by Jelka van Houten, Kees Prins, Henry van Loon and Hiba Ghafry.
snout is a stop motion animation. This means that a director obtains his images by photographing clay or plastic puppets shot by shot, while the puppet has a slightly different pose with each shot. By playing these images one after another, it seems that the puppets are moving.
