“This is not the same mole, mom,” my daughter told me today in disappointment. - “Let’s turn on that one, now I can talk.” ***I, as a hyper-responsible mother, have always tried to choose useful content for children. Including cartoons. As a child, the elder daughter loved the Czechoslovakian animated series, the main character of which is the Mole, created by the Czech artist Zdenek Miler. A characteristic feature of the character is his large, pretty eyes, although in a real mole they are reduced. The first episode was shown in Prague in 1957. It was dedicated to the processing of flax (“How the Mole found his pants”). This was the only episode to feature character speech. In all subsequent episodes, the characters mainly use only interjections, which makes them almost completely understandable without translation for a viewer from any country. In his interview about the series about Krotik, Zdenek Miler recalled: “I was very lucky, because at the time when I made the first moles, my daughters were small. They had very beautiful voices and laughed very well. I was lucky because I always managed to break them apart, and when they laughed or cried, I recorded it.” Later, these emotions were the only sound accompaniment of the animated series. And after a week of watching this cartoon, my cub stopped talking. Completely. The mole moved from the category of useful materials to harmful ones, but remained beloved. Masha and the Bear taught the child to be offended, capricious and demanding. Doctor Hare - brush his teeth. Family of Why - pester adults with questions and strive for knowledge (still his I love it). And the knowledge of children from Smeshariki and Fixiki sometimes exceeds my school knowledge in physics. Today we came across the wrong Mole. This one talks, but doesn’t evoke those kind, warm, childish emotions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uok0wfDEn4w&feature=emb_logo Do you select content for your children?
