Krtecek fotografem

This is the stuff I grew up on - Krtecek. I don't remember this episode from back then, but there are over 50 episodes in this series. This one is about photography:



Film-making meets education. Zdenek Miler, successful Czech illustrator - the creator of Krtecek, was asked by the Czechoslovak Ministry of Education in 1950s to make a film explaining how linen was made. He produced How The Mole Got His Trousers (Jak krtek ke kalhotkám přišel) in 1956, which became an instant success internationally. Other episodes followed.

My mom grew up with Krtek, I grew up with Krtek and my kids one day will grow up with krtek. Fantastic.
