Nice hand-drawn animation on Norwegian TV

Animator/Director Hans Jørgen Sandnes, via his studio Sandnes Media, is producing a new mini-series of children’s animated music videos for NRK:

“They’re based on the songs of famed Norwegian singer/songwriter Alf Prøysen (1914 – 1970). The series is hand-drawn, made in-house by me and my five collegues. The episodes are short “music-videos” following Prøysens original recordings. We’re very passionate about our work, trying to master the medium of traditional 2D animation.”

That passion really shows. The first episode (of four) premieres tonight. Here’s a sample of the series:
