Backkom is a collection of three‑minute animated shorts that follow the adventures of the titular polar bear. Each episode centers on Backkom’s curiosity and is filled with slapstick humor. The bear never speaks, communicating only through unintelligible noises. He is accompanied by a cast of supporting characters, including penguins Lloyd and Eva, lizard Zack, chihuahua Goliath, baby Sam, dog Pilot, porcupine Pokey, and even Santa Claus. At the end of most episodes, Backkom’s bumbling antics lead to a calamity that knocks him unconscious or severely injures him.
