Zdenek Miler and the Mole

Back when I first started blogging I would often stumble across great animation from my childhood. These days, after almost three years of rummaging around the net for blog content, its rare to find such things. But thanks to the awesome Drawn blog I have found one more, I have very vague memories of these cartoons from Czechoslovakian Zdenek Miler.

The backgrounds are simply stunning and hint at Milers background as an illustrator. The second episode featured here seems quite risque and graphic for a kids show, but it probably just goes to show how sanitised things are these days. It is quite bizarre.
