Loeki the Lion

The most famous lion in the Netherlands, created by Joop Geesink, was first seen on television in January 1972. Loeki soon became a Dutch icon. From 1984, daughter Louise Geesink took over from her father and became the owner of Loeki. After 7,000 clips, the “Ster” (the foundation that regulates advertising for Dutch public broadcasters) stopped with the Loeki films in 2004. However, the funny lion could still be admired in the theme park Efteling, where he played a role in the Carnival Festival ride for many years. In 2021 Loeki returned to television and can be seen regularly between the commercials of the Ster.
