One Petit Nicolas books is titled, "Les vacances du Petit Nicolas". But there's a famous film called, "Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot". Is one of them wrong? If not, could someone explain the uses of "du" and "de" here?

I haven't read any of the Petit Nicholas books but isn't he usually referred to as *Le* Petit Nicholas, hence the use of du.

Ah, of course, de + le = du. Thank you!
