Karbonkel, the troll from the children’s program “Ik, Mik, Loreland,” has received an experience at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision in Hilversum. The event focuses on why the character was frightening to a generation of millennials and when a figure may be considered too scary for children.

The Karbonkel puppet from the 1990s educational television series Ik Mik Loreland was restored and is to be displayed from Saturday at the Beeld & Geluid museum in Hilversum. The puppet had been kept in the institute's depot for years before being cleaned and restored. Karbonkel was the one-eyed antagonist in the series, which aimed to teach children to read by having them recover letters he had stolen. A puppeteer involved said visitors who had found the character frightening can now see that the puppet is not as scary in person.

The museum opened a dark-room Karbonkel Experience around Halloween in which visitors could encounter the one-eyed character. More than 5,000 people visited the experience in its first six days. The museum said attendance was more than double that of the same week a year earlier.
