Short description
The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Holgerson is an anime adaptation of the novel The Wonderful Adventures of Nils by the Swedish author Selma Lagerlf. The 52 episode series ran on the Japanese network NHK from January 1980 to March 1981. The series was the very first production by Studio Pierrot. The anime was mostly fairly true to the original, apart from the appearance of Nils' pet hamster, and the greater role allowed to the fox Smirre.
