Long ago, in a little Viking Village called Flake, young Wickie lives a happy life. His father, Halvar, is the chief of the Vikings, and would have liked a son a little more courageous. So, he and his team take Wicke along on their journeys to give him the experience he'll need to be a real Viking. Yet, somehow Halvar and his men end up trapped or hopelessly stuck somewhere in most cases, and it`s up to Wickie alone to help them out with his flashes of wit.

Where it came from
Vicky the Viking, or Chiisana Viking Bikke, debuted in 1974 as a landmark collaboration between the Japanese studio Nippon Animation and German broadcaster ZDF. Adapted from the children's books by Swedish author Runer Jonsson, the series sought to bring Nordic folklore to a global audience through the distinct lens of 1970s anime production, focusing on intellectual problem-solving rather than traditional combat.
The character design was overseen by the animation team at Nippon Animation, emphasizing expressive, simplified shapes that allowed for fluid storytelling across 78 episodes. Upon its release, the show was widely praised for its pacifist protagonist, who overcomes obstacles through wit and invention, marking it as a significant influence on the development of European and Japanese children's television partnerships during that era.
