Production
Albert 't Hooft and Paco Vink founded their own studio Anikey Studios, in 2007 at The Hague.[3] Commissioned animators from Il Luster Productions approached them in 2008 to direct and write the film with Arnoud Rijken and Michiel Snijders acted as producers.[4] In order to improve their storytelling skills and build a team of animators, 't Hooft and Vink created with il Luster Productions two 10-minute short films and the 25-minute Paul and the Dragon (Dutch: Paultje en de Draak). With a budget of €1.7 million for Triple Trouble: Animal Sinterklaas, 't Hooft stated "I don’t want to be too proud of that since it isn’t realistic. The last six months we ['t Hooft and Vink] practically worked for free because there was more to be done than we anticipated."[3]
