The mole - Czech cartoon.

Kisvakond in Hungarian which means Little mole, is a cartoon my daughter watches nearly everyday. Everyday if she can. The cartoon was created by a Czech Cartoonist, Zdenek Miler. The main character is of course a mole. He lives among his other animal friends, the mouse, rabbit and the hedgehog. Since it's publication in 1959, it became a hit in Eastern European Countries and a few other European countries. Hungary is one of them. So most Hungarian kids grow up watching this cartoon.

At first I couldn't understand what is so fascinating about this cartoon. But after sometime I began to like it too. :D The mole is cute, simple and innocent. He is trying to help others all the time, dreaming and enjoying life too. The cartoon is evergreen like so many other old things. Something, modern cartoon lacks.

You see, the creator wanted to make the cartoon universal so that people can understand regardless where they are from or what language. So the cartoon didn't have any narration besides just a few short words of expressions or sounds which, I read, were voiced by the cartoonist's daughters.

Watch it everyday that some of the music got stuck in my head. LOL. If you are interested you can check the series on youtube. :D
