People are justified in their appreciation for Japanese animation, but I think that Czech animation is critically underrated. I used to watch a lot of Jiri Trnka and even Fantastic Planet when I was a teenager, without realizing they were made in Czechoslovakia
Honestly it's the case for many Eastern European country's animation, I suppose because most of it are shorts and there's not a lot of serial stuff... But for most of it to be so unknown is a real shame.
Sad but true. In reality, Czech animation is fundamental for understanding animation as art.
His grandson is my collegue
@TheLugiaSong Czech animation was mostly serials tho.
RIP slovakia not getting credit😢
Being czech on the internet in recent times has been interesting. Like half the stuff i would watch as a kid was presented by random people i've never heard of as this crazy "eastern european rare impossible lost media" and the other half was regarded as something extraterrestrial.
bro, me too! kinda starting to see us czechians finally getting some recognition!
Lmao this is so real, like I never expected some English speaking person would deep dive into Potkali se u Kolína 😭

Honestly crazy how much of a powerhouse Czechoslovakia was in cinema.
The irony is that despite the "repression" and censorship, Pretty much all of Eastern Europe had vastly superior cultural output in terms of film and art in the Socialist era, than they do today. George Lucas was absolutely right on the point, that in those countries, you just had to be creative to get your scenes around Government censors, where dealing with the for profit studio system in the west, is for the most part, 10000x worse, then you have Government censorship on top of that.
It still is, but it's a secret. 😀 Our Barrandov Studios are one of the biggest in Europe with traditon from First Republic era (before communism and before we were marked as Eastern Europe), but unfortunately, mostly western companies make their movies there, so you don't hear much about Czech movie industry. And today Czech movies are mostly trash for some reason, I don't know why, there are lot of really good Czechoslovak movies from 30s to 90s, but after like 2000, some tradition and continuity was probably lost or something and new generation of creators do just generic criminal TV shows or stupid redneck "comedy" movies for low IQ people, it's really sad how deep down we fell with our movies. That's why Restore Point (2023) was hyped that much, even when it was a low budget movies, it was a sci-fi and fresh air that could show that we can do more than just TV criminal shows (that are mostly copy of some german originals) or stupid village comedy movies that are not funny.
Czechoslovakia is and will always be a powerhouse of everything, superpower by 2020! Just google Jára Cimrman.
I wish we still were. Like 90% of our movies are straight up shit for as long as I remember

Pat and Mat is extremely popular in The Netherlands where it’s called “Buurman en Buurman” (Neighbour and Neighbour). It is voiced over by two actors who have a kind of improvised dialogue, which makes it even goofier. When my sons were little they were often doing Pat & Mat imitations.
A je to!
man you made my day 🥰🥰, thought noone would know this series, love the dub version eaven tho i cant understand shit 😂
Its very famous in Iran too(we even joking call two stupid people pat and mat here)
We've been doing Pat & Matt imitations at work for years also :)
Here in Finland Mat & Pat are popular also. The series is called in Finnish 'Hupsis' (Whoopsie).
Pat & Mat was a hit show in Iran!!!
Wow, that is crazy. I would've never thought our little Czechoslovakian show made it so far, into a fairly different culture.
I like how you try to pronounce the authors names properly. Many other people would just read them their way leading to misunderstandings. It shows dedication to your work
Czech bedtime TV shows are a chapter of their own. Mostly animated and massively popular, drawn by artists like Zdeněk Miler, Zdeněk Smetana, or Vladimír Jiránek.
Czech has an amazing gun industry, extreme metal music, car industry and now i get to learn about their animated movie culture. Sadly Czech is always unspoken of in any of these categories. A truly underrated country.
Can you recommend any good czech metal music? I've been czech my whole life and haven't heard a single good metal band
really? I never heard about any extreme metal from Czechia

Fantastic Planet being a French-Czechoslovak collaboration is perfect because the novel it is based on was written by a French author and both the novel and film took inspiration from the Prague Spring!
"The series has developed a cult following in Japan." I did not expect that. If that's true, then that's quite a surprise to me. Japan having small cult following over a Czech forest fairy is just wow.
Krteček also has (or at least used to have) a big following in Japan. I'm pretty sure some stores still have a giant Krtek plushies on display
Your description of 'Pat a Mat' made me so happy. It's so accurate and heart warming for someone who grew up watching them
Pat And Mat did not have names in the A je to! era yet, as they originated from a short film titled "Kuťáci" (Tinkers in english). The short itself was based on a series of comics that is sadly lost, but the script for Kuťáci named the characters as Mr. Ouholíček and Mr. Sedlec, but during production of A je to, they were called Tinker#1 and Tinker#2 by their creators. Only in the 90s, they were named Pat & Mat, so they could be sold easily in foreign countries.
Here's a fun fact, many of the animated bedtime stories are still popular till this day and are often broadcasted on the Czech station simply titled :D (it mostly features shows for kids). Every day at 18:45 they broadcast one of these stories. I remeber it was a routine. I took a bath, had a dinner, then watched this bedtime story with my younger sister and went to bed. Even when I was 15 year old. They're treated like a classic and just hold a special place in many people's heart. They say that the darkest nights produce the brighest stars and I'd say this is a pretty good example of it. After 1960s, due to the invasion of Soviet forces, even movies had to start focusing more on the fairytale genre, since it wasn't as heavily censored as the rest, however, because so many talented people worked together in this genre, we again got many gems that are just cult classics and some even deem them as the national treasure of Czech and Slovak cinematography
and introduced with the animated "Večerníček" boy, always looked forwared to it as a kid
Thank you for sharing Czechoslovak content! Great video! Cheers from Slovakia :D
Thanks for watching!
I remember watching The Little Mole when I was a child in the 80s. The Little Mole was featured on the children's show Die Sendung mit der Maus on West German TV. I liked The Little Mole for its expressiveness that didn't need words to convey the story. Come to think of it, the short interludes where the animated characters Mouse and Elephant did something funny didn't use words to convey their stories either. I miss these simple yet highly entertaining narrations.
In the Netherlands Pat and Mat are called buurman and buurman. We even use it as a saying when two people can’t figure something simple out
Im from czech republic and i cant thank you enough for showing the most beautiful arts I ever saw to another countries, děkuji ti velmi moc
"Hey mister, let's play" will always hold a special place in my heart. As much as I love to watch it now for it's humour and creativity (the bears shape-shift constantly in most wonderful ways) , I hated it in my childhood years, since the big bear always swindles the small bear of his candy and mistreats him in other ways. I just couldn't bear the injustice 😅 ...I really hope someone translates and dubs it some day, to share with international audience.
Same, I just hated it as a child))
I just came here to make sure Jan Švankmajer got his place. As he was second on the list I am happy. I still have the first VHS of Alice and my favorite Faust as well as later releases such as Little Otik. Faust was wickedly hard to get at the time.
My mom always used to tell me that czechoslovakian animators were one of the best in the world, now that i know how difficult animations are to make, i agree with her
I actually was taken to see 'Fantastic Planet' at the cinema when I was a small lad, by my father, who had little sensitivity to what or was not appropriate for young audiences. I remember finding the film curious and interesting, and a little unsettling (but not to a traumatic degree), with much of the thematic element going right over my head. The film remains a treasure trove of the psychedelic aesthetics of its time. The richness of animated production in Czechoslovakia was clearly unabated in the Seventies, despite the reactionary repressiveness of the regime, and the fact that some filmmakers' careers were silenced or circumscribed. This episode is a splendid introduction to this vibrant heritage.
When I saw the promotion on TV, I did not care for it. Looked like a nightmare.
Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage) is one of my favorite movies ever made! It’s a shame so few people know about it and the work of its director, Rene Laloux…
It’s my favorite movie ever! There’s no more beautiful movie in my eyes.
Thank you, I'm studying 70s animation for my own projects
That makes me sad because Rocky and Bullwinkle was drawn in the 50's and 60's. I couldn't possibly study animation and leave out them =).
As a Pole I didnt even knew that czechoslovakian animation needed introduction
A je to! Is very entertaining, i recommend it to everyone who wants something silly.
The last part really brought back my childhood (I'm Czech). Even though born in the 2000's, I grew up on these and oh my god, I'm so glad I did
Man, all I needed to see was that scene at 7:25 to wanna watch that version of Sinbad, the swap from 2D to 3D stop motion took me by surprise. This guy was great at making smooth/charming puppet animation.
Czechoslovakian animations we're really popular in Finland back in 80's and 90's. Especially Pat & Mat and The Little Mole.
not only animations, but also czechoslovakian movies were world's top in 70's and 80's. in one sci fi movie, there was selfie stick. I killed Einstein gentlemen...
A je to will always be the icon of my childhood
I love this channel... Always discovering new filmmakers
Thank you!!
Growing up in Canada but with only access to public TV, I realize in my adult time how much of the materials I watched came from beyond the Iron Curtain. Jiri Trnka was a staple, there would be weird wordless shorts between shows, and every Saturday I would watch Colargol the bear! The NFB and the CBC were eminently multicultural organizations for the time, and were hiring a lot of refugees and immigrants. It would be interesting for you to delve into experimental work at the NFB, which was always at the forefront of animation and shorts. Start with Arthur Lipsett, he came from a Russian Jewish family and George Lucas got the idea of The Force from his movie 21-87.
I contend that Canada and Yugoslavia were the most dynamic producers of animated shorts in the second half of the twentieth century, and for similar reasons. Both countries' governments subsidized the art and the artists were given considerable freedom to explore themes of their choosing using styles and methods that inspired them.
Yooo, I remember watching these as a child, we had a lot of channels which premiered old cartoons and old movies in czech dub on cable. Brings back a lot of memories, tbh. Edit: YO I FORGOT ABOUT THE "No počkaj!" CARTOON, THAT SHIT BUILT MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD
No počkaj zajac is not Czechoslovak. It's just slovak dub of soviet Nu pugadi series.
u pronounced all the czech and slovak names and words suprisingly well which makes me incredibly happy because some people just wont put any efforts in pronouncinmg things right when talking about a country or the people from it
Another terrific video. The Mole was very popular here in Britain in the Seventies. I also have very fond memories of Zeman’s Sinbad, shown twice by the BBC at the end of the decade, especially the wonderfully creepy episode where our hero is forced to carry a demonic looking man piggyback style and can’t shift him. The singer and actor Paul Jones (formerly of Manfred Mann) provided the English narration. I’d love for this to get a blu-ray release.
Do you know Zeman movie Krabat (Sorcerer´s apprentice is translated czech name). If any Zeman film was dark and creepy, it was this one. Fantastic!
Yoo, as a Czech person I really appreciate this video, I still remember watching pojďte pane, budeme si hrát (come mister, let's play) and it's really amazing to think that I grew up with the same stories my mum did. Also a great work by Břetislav Pojar is zahrada (it's free on KZhead, really recommend)
Thank you for not forgetting to mention Václav Mergl and his, for me, defining film Krabi. I saw this movie when I was about 8 years old and was instantly captivated.
Gene Dietch wrote a beautiful book named For the Love of Prague, where he describes how he started working in Czechoslovakia, fell in love and moved here. He of course also talks about the world of animation. I really liked it and would definitely recommend!
So happy to see the world learn about the goods of my homeland. Sending love from Czechia!
A Je To !!!!!!! My childhood !!!!
I've always loved the Sorcerer's apprentice. It's just so full of emotional tones, so foreboding, dreadful and plain dark, with just the kind of evil that's neither cartoonish nor so bloody that it's off-putting. Simply hair-raising. The wizard is not "just" evil either - he does give his apprentice roof over his head, which is something Krabat desired most, and through him he's gaining power - but it is a tale of domination and constriction by a "benefactor" full of warped wrongness, of struggle to even decide to face evil, of love banishing the dark...
Thank you as always for these amazing videos! They're great for spreading the love of animation to others! The "Where the Wild Things Are" adaptation is very nostalgic to me, it really felt like the book itself coming to life, I loved it a lot as a kid.
Fantastic planet is such a phenomenal film
oh, I love how the youtube algorithm knows the weirdness in me❤
7:56 So glad to see this get some love. It’s a gem!
Pojďte pane, budeme si hrát 💖
I really miss 2d animations, cartoons, I wish they would make a comeback. 2D animation & practical effects did wonders for creative storytelling. Things made us utilize our intelligence. No matter what kind of character, creature, species they were, they found great ways to convey artistic depictions of the Human condition that connected us on a deeper level. From the 80's-00's we had such well made stories & animation. Such creative ways to show expressions, emotions. To give the audience feelings without overly explaining it. I really miss it all. So much now is just bland green screen CGI disconnected hollow movie's/TV shows. *(If you would have told kid me back in the early 90s that most animation in media would basically disappear. I wouldn't have believed you and gone back to watching X-Men the animated series. That was just 1 of many animated shows that was so well crafted. The story of mutants was so universally relatable. Media abstractly taught me life lessons, touched on difficult situations, found intelligent ways to tell stories. So much so that when I've gone back & rewatched them as a adult. I realized how well they told & crafted stories that anyone can enjoy & appreciate them no matter what age they are. Great examples are (Pretty much anything created by Don Bluth or Written by Roald Dahl) The Brave little toaster, James and the giant peach, The never ending story, Rocko's modern life, The secret of the Nimh, Sword and the stone, black cauldron, Little Nemo and the adventures of Slumberland, Beetle juice, Alice in wonderland, Rock-a-doodle, Captain Planet, Thundercats, He-man, Spawn, Batman, Batman beyond, toxic crusaders, Matilda, The BFG, Ren and stimpy, courage the cowardly dog, magic school bus, Dexter's laboratory, pinky and the brain, I am weasel, IR Baboon, Ah! Real monster's, goosebumps, are you afraid of the dark, pee wee's playhouse, she-ra warrior princess, cow & chicken, gargoyle's, power rangers, TMNT, the Indian in the cupboard, Addams family, toy soldier's, honey I shrunk the kid's, wild thornberries, hey Arnold, angry beaver's, Flintstones, the Jetsons, Kablam. There's so many more I won't list them all. They all had such a unique impact on my life & my love for media, drawn animation, practical effects. So many ways of telling stories. So many types of creatures, unique worlds, weird things, macabre things. I loved how we used to embrace those things. Seeing how things are nowadays, i feel so lucky that i got to grow up in the 90's. Back then I never could have guessed that things would have changed the ways they did. It was such a great time to be a kid. The world seemed to have so many creative ways kids, teens and adults could all enjoy themselves. Entertaining movies with practical effects. Animated movies/shows galore. If they used CGI it was used intelligently. I really miss the Vibe of that Era. The creativity that came from that era. I really hope we find a way to reconnect with it because the world seems like it really needs it right now. I mean just look at the aesthetics compared to now? Things have somehow become so bland, bleek, and minimalism that it doesn't even make since. Most Old house's/building's/uúnique shop's are gone. Interesting oddities like drive in movies, indoor fun zones, arcade's, magazines that came with a demo disc to try out game's, blockbuster/Hollywood video, McDonald's had N64's, you could preview music before buying it, they had great kid's toy's, Roller Rink's, Garbage pale kid's card's. You get the point. I want to reignite that feel sort of like Retro-Futurism or that Y2K Vibe compared to this current Dystopian pessimism that seems solely focused purely on capitalistic agendas. Our Quality of Life should be better than this.
Thank you for this video - some of those old animations weren't known to me. Others were and haunted me as a child (for example Čarodějův učeň). Yet you reminded me of some favourite Večerníček of mine (Včerníček is short tv programme featuring one episode of bedtime story for children. I believe it is still running for clearly more than 60 years. I really hope you will cover it in the future as it has really cute and classic intro and outro featuring magic-boy Večerníček in his paper hat who brings bedtime stories❤.) Well reaserched and well done
Love these animators so much, lots of nostalgia in one video❤
Czechoslovak animation will always be part of my childhood since I'm from Slovakia
I don't comment often but I get a lot of value out of these videos so I'm gonna start making pointless comments like this to up your engagement
Haha thank you!
Sorcerors apprentice is a great movie. As a kid I found it really spooky. Last year I saw it again at this little indie cinema in Prague. Even at 35 years I had to admit that yeah, this is a fine horror movie!
Pravda, pro mnohé z nás šlo o definující zkušenost z dětství. Krabate...
I *LOVE* your breakdown/guide videos about the wonderful world of Soviet (And eastern European in general) animation a lot, it's such an underappreciated side of the medium of Animation, as most of the viewing world is apparently only aware about American and Japanese animated media, as if other countries have never made any... On this topic, I would love to see a similar video about Georgian animation. I am from Georgia myself and I have to say, despite there not being a single Georgian animated feature film, most, if not all of the short-length films that have come out of the country are amazing. It might be a personal bias and everything, but they're genuinely really good. All of the films have something to say, they're funny, charming as all hell and have that wonderfully phsychedellic wacky imagery that Soviet animation is known for. Too bad that even though they can be found on KZhead, most of them don't have any subtitles available.....
pat and mat my beloved
i grew up on these cartoons and i am so happy this video was made
When it comes to animation, there is so much praise I can give to what we managed to create especially during the 60s - 80s. I am very passionate about this subject, I am Czech myself and it’s quite sad seeing the fall of our animations during the 2000s when CGI became mainstream. We are responsible for The Goat story, and besides that and maybe a couple 3 animated movies that were on the big screen, suck. I want the passion Czechoslovakian film makers had for stop motion. We still have “Fimfárum” and “Even Mice Belong in Heaven” but that’s the only thing on top of my head. My favorite show hands down is “Hey mister, let’s play” 11:21 THE VOICE ACTING IS PHENOMENAL! Even outside of stop motion, there are plenty of hand drawn kid TV shows that were played for Slovak and Czech children for many decades. (I was born in 2005 and watched most of 70s animation growing up…for reference)
Hey thanks! Something like this is actually exactly what I've been looking for lately:)
As a czech person, i am proud And have many of these as dvds in the apartment and enjoy them nearly every day❤
I grew up on Pat & Mat and the little mole. Great video
On se rend compte à quel point la Tchéquie (anciennement Tchécoslovaquie) est une terre incroyablement fertile de créativité! Merci pour la vidéo 👍
In netherlands we got Pat and Mat as "Buurman en Buurman", the characters were voiced in dutch.
They were dubbed??? Please, I grew up watching the show, I need details!
Grew up watching Maxipes Fik, Vila Amalka and pretty much all of the other tv shows for kids - that was in the late 90s/early 2000s, and as a kid I had no idea they were already like 20-35 years old at the time
Thank you so much❤ This came in perfect time. Id been appreciating Czech cinema for a while but never got into the for real
Thank you so much for all of these recent videos about animation and well done on your execution! I have been going down the rabbit hole of the history of animation and I didn't realize how vast it is. I would really appreciate if you could continue to make more videos about this topic! Also more videos about what you have been watching would be great too.
A note I want to make about Pat and Mat - Another problem for the communists was that the duo (who, as you said, could possibly represent the USSR and China in the eyes of the censors) always found a problem, made it worse, patched it up someway and "said" it's good enough. So just like the children's book Kocourkov, the censors saw a connection to the way the USSR did things, and decided it was a step too far.
i love that some ones is showing these to an international audience :)
Thank you for this video!
Those animations are the best I still watch them today 😂
I distinctly remember an episode of Pat a Mat where they were making moonshine in they wineyard and they even made a fully automated line for it. It was the funniest thing I have seen, no way in hell would any show do that today 😀
amazing video!! love Viktor Kubal's films!
Great video! Much of the information was pretty interesting! I'll have to give it a try to one of those besides Fantastic Planet since I already watched it.
Maxipes Fik at the end, that just reminded me first or second episode - "be useful, get us some beer", or something like that :D
15:10 HELL YEAH! PAT & MAT IS HERE, THE CLASSIC! (I remember watching this on some DVD/VCD i bought when i was a kid, the show is also popular in my country, Poland)
But interesting video though, also Pat and Mat are more known in Poland as "The Neighbours" and The Mole/Krtek is also popular in Poland too
Ooooo I remember seeing the cartoon about that magic dog. It was in the early 90s when I was a wee one,lol. I can't remember what channel I saw it on. I absolutely adore Svankmajer. I think he's a stopmotion genius! Extraordinary research on this my friend. I appreciate your all of your hard work. YOU'RE AWESOME 💜🙌🏾
I’m watching everything on this list
Haven't watched the video but I know about Pat & Mat thanks to a DVD with 6 episodes both mute and with voiceovers. The episode I remember the most was the one with the Fax machine, but that was when I was around 4-6.
What do you mean by voiceover?
@@dan_cz-patmat i think he meant that dutch dub of P&M, you known, Buurman en Buurman
I grew up on "Krtek" and "Pat a Mat". Cheers from Slovakia!
I love the style of these animations
It was beautiful growing up in the earliest 2000s, when our TV aired only these old gems for children. Nowdays it's all pokemon and transformers and stuff i wouldn't even know, but that era of early post-socialism years, i'm glad i was born to it. Had one coworker who was 18 (not that far off, i thought). Told me he never seen (Hey mister, let's play !) bears and in that moment my heart dropped.
Nice research and well done
Fantastic Planet Feels like a deed made by Ieronim Bosch if animaton existed in his time
Švankmajer’s work still seems a bit unerrated for my liking to this day but Im so glad I got to see most of it, Everything he does is just my cup of tea.
FANTASTIC PLANET MENTIONED WOOOO 💥💥🔥🔥🔥🤯🥶
beautiful video pal, thanks!:)
might watch some of these
fantastic planet's style is so beautiful and haunting, every frame could be a painting in its own rights.... gosh, Čarodějův učeň.. i rememeber being so scared of that film as a child. I'm glad i can appreciate it now, it really is a wonderful piece of animation. despite being czech, i didn't recognise some of these films and shorts, so thank you for introducing me :]
Amazing video! Can't wait for the next part covering the 80's! Also I hope you do one about Argentinian animation (you can watch the film "Anima Buenos Aires ").
I grew up on Czechoslovak animated shows like Pat & Mat, Maxipes Fík, Krteček, Pojďte pane, budeme si hrát, and Zeman's movies (most notably Baron Prášil). It feels really nostalgic to watch this video. I didn't have much idea about most of the movies you showed though
Banger, love from 🇨🇿. Btw Pojďte Pane Půjdeme si Hrát (Potakli Se U Kolína) is the best
🍿🎞️ Thanks !
So yeah we were the nation that made the example of how to do ARG (idk the stop motion just now reminded me of some ARG´s)
I watched Fantastic planet on tv one time when I was a kid in early 90-s, and it still flashing back some scenes in my memory(everything else I completely forgot). I mean it is pretty much as odd as Clockwork Orange, just in animated form. And yeah, pretty gruesome. I don't think most of the ppl get the animal abuse theme though. -_-
I remember the center one in the thumbnail was the subject of a youtube video. It was lost media for years until it was found.
Hello I wanted to comment to say that I have been watching plenty of your videos for a while now and I need to say I really adore them especially your videos on Animation as a guy who is into animation and is gradually getting into the field to be an Animator which in this case is hand drawn and stop motion and I am trying to learn about Animated films both short and feature length from all over the world and all continents. Say here are some recommondations I would love to see for animation and they are. 1. More on Eastern Europe (like Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Czechslovakia, Soviet Union, Yugoslavia ,Romania and Bulgaria) 2. Africa (like Niger, Mali, Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Algeria and Burkina Faso). 3. Canada 4. Australia and New Zealand 5. Southeast Asia (like Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand) 6. Korea and Taiwan and 7. Latin America (like Mexico, Brazil, Cuba, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile) since I feel like animation from these places tends to get heavily overshadowed by American, Western European (Like French, Spanish, Italian, British, German and Irish) And Japanese Animation till the point I have came across people who thought those were the only places that were producing them and I think animated films from all sorts of places deserve fair exposure if animation is to be truly appreciated and respected. Really love your videos and I hope you continue to prosper.
This is awesome. Didn't know these brilliant pieces of art were all Czechoslovakian. I watched a lot of Pat&Mat when I was young, in my country they we're dubbed, saying "Ajeto" as buzzword. I know Fantastic Planet only in parts that were used for Shpongle - A star Shpongled banner (great track). Great video, thanks for the info, I'll czech these movies out.
Thanks for this, I think you forgot to mention Adolf Born since he made alot of cartoons during this era. You can discuss him again when you make another video of this one. Such as the Zofka cartoon and his Mach and Sebestova cartoon. Edit: I would also think that O Dorotce, O Mikesovi, Rákosníček, and many others are also introduced here too.
I first saw "O Dorotce" from seeing one of those shorts from a discarded 16mm film print.
Great Video!
hey, I was born 11 years after the breakup of Czechoslovakia, and I remember this, they used to show this program on TV on Čt1 and Čt2, so these channels are probably not on TV anymore, but the program mainly broadcasts Pat and Mat in the new edition, and sometimes they also broadcast older short films from in the 70s and 90s, they sometimes put it on as a children's evening meal, but something that had a darker side or was scary is no longer visible, it's a shame, but I understand
