Probably everyone was
watching cartoons as a child. Every child has a favorite cartoon. Today's
cartoons are different and
unfortunately we have forgotten
about the old legendary cartoons, which can look
uglier, but they are still funny and educational.

One of them is the Polish
cult production „Bolek i Lolek”. It
tells the story of two characters: Bolek and Lolek and their adventures. Adventures
of these characters were
very popular, so they created
many series, several films and even books
and comics. Interestingly, this
series was the only European production authorized to be broadcast in Iran after the
Islamic revolution in 1979.

Another also very
popular Polish production
I'd like to talk about is Reksio. Like Bolek and Lolek, this cartoon was produced by Cartoon Film Studio in Bielsko-Biała. The cartoon presents various adventures of a dog Reksio
that meets other
animals and humans. These adventures
are very relaxing and funny. Reksio even has its own monument in Bielsko-Biała.
Another cult Polish cartoon is Strange
Adventures of Koziołek Matołek. It’s about a goat
that travels around the world in search of a mythical
city of Pacanów. These adventures are unusual and very unbelievable. For
the first time this character appeared in picture stories for children
in 1933. More than 30
years later they created the animated
series about adventures of this
funny character which
has been a cult figure until today.

The last cartoon I wanted to write about is Krecik. The cartoon has the Czech
origin and was very popular in Poland. The author didn’t want to duplicate
the patterns of American cartoons where
the characters were dogs, cats and mice so the main character is a
mole. He decided to pick a mole after stumbling over a
molehill during a walk.
