Een toffe en mooie site hoor!

Impressive site, although I had some problems finding Krtek in it but the Search function gave results.
And the forum - so many Holger postings!

Interesting notes on production pressures (or lack of it). Do you have more detailed information about how the films were produced? How many persons and months did it take to make a short movie?

I must say I was rather surprised about Krtek ve Meste, being released in 1982; it is such a very strong and clear message against the policy of building more and more panelaky in CSFR. How was the process of deciding and approving what movies were allowed to make?

Thats quite a good question. But after 1974/ 75 all parts were produced together with the westgerman WDR > so perhaps they had freedom to do what they want as long they only brought money to the regime. (Thats why many of the coproductions were more free)

And there were many films even in GDR where they said something against "panelaky" (you mean that mass-settlements out of the cities?) but they were "accepted" because the censors were not the intelligentest people... We had a word here called rose elephant > which meant: installing something, no censor could accept but would oversee the next sentence, in which the meaning was...

Thanks for visiting my forum And indeed: I am holding about 60% of the postings there. You are invited if you want to post even there. Its open to all languages.

Zdeněk Miler, de "vader" van Krtek, is vandaag 87 jaar geworden. Hij werkte als cartoonist in de Baťa film studio in Zlín gedurende de oorlog, alvorens zijn meest bekende creatie in 1957 uitkwam in de film "Hoe de mol aan zijn broek kwam". Miler bracht ongeveer 70 films uit alvorens in 2002 op pensioen te gaan.

Afgelopen zomer ben ik op een ware krtek speurtocht gegaan; werkelijk iedere speelgoedwinkel en boekhandel die er was in, op zoek naar leuke krtek dingen :o)

Vrij weinig gevonden trouwens, helaas. Maar da's een goede reden om weer naar Tsjechië te gaan natuurlijk
