The Blom family (the father, known only as Mister Blom, daughter Nelly and her young brother Joe) find a small, elfish guy in their house. This character called 'Wiplala' has been abandoned by his friends because he can't control his magic and keeps causing problems. Together they encounter some wonderful adventures.
This sequence happens after Wiplala shrinks the family to his own size in a (succesful) attempt to save them from a dangerous situation. Unfortunately he can't remember how to get them back to their original size afterwards. At the beginning of this sequence they find themselves stuck in their own back yard, where Wiplala gets them a ride from a local pigeon.
The pigeon's flight over Amsterdam is geographically correct, we see them fly over the Rijksmuseum, passing the American Hotel at the Leidseplein before they end up at the Royal palace at Dam Square (Or the Dam, as it's known by Amsterdammers).
I adapted this chapter to a screenplay format, translating, adding and adjusting dialog and drew this sequence in five days.
