Schnuffel (German pronunciation: [ˈʃnʊfəl]; English: Snuggle, French: Lapin Câlin, Italian: Kikolo, Spanish: Snufi) is an animated rabbit created in 2008 by German media company Jamba!.
Conception and creation
The first concepts of the Schnuffel character were born on July 2. The original ringtone was turned into a song by Sebastian Nussbaum and Andreas Wendorf, recorded under the title Kuschel Song ("Cuddling song") and released on January 2, 2008.[1] The German singing voice of Schnuffel is unknown, although it is known that they were an employee of Jamster.[2] The single was released in February 2008 and quickly topped the German and European charts.[3] After the song went to the top of the Austrian charts and to number 2 in Switzerland , plans were made to release the song internationally. Songs were translated in 13 languages and 13 albums have since been released, including German re-editions and international albums.
Since the creation of Schnuffel, several apps have been created featuring the character, including a "virtual pet" and an educational game.[4][5][6][7]
Schnuffelienchen
Schnuffel's female counterpart and girlfriend is named Schnuffelienchen, known in English as Snuggelina. Like Schnuffel, she is a lop rabbit. Schnuffelienchen's first CD-single, "Küss mich, halt mich, lieb mich" (Kiss me, hold me, love me) was released on October 29, 2010 and stayed 1 week at the 99th position of the German charts.[8] Her second single, "Schmetterling" (Butterfly) was released on February 28, 2012 only on the Jamba/Jamster sites,[9] and released digitally on Amazon, iTunes and Google Play only on July 25, 2014, together with the English version.[10] Schnuffelienchen's third single "Ohne Dich" (Without You) was released on September 26, 2014 as a digital download.[11]
Achievements
"Kuschel Song" was the fourth best-selling single of 2008 in Germany,[12] and the song received a nomination for Single of the Year at the 2008 Echo Music Awards.[13] In 2013 "Kuschel Song" was chosen by the German TV show Die ultimative Chart Show as the most successful jingle of the new millennium.[14]
