For as long as I've been discovering Czech culture it seems like Krtek has been there, in the background, on mugs, t shirts or DVDs. It's not difficult to realise that this little mole is a huge part of Czech culture since it's creation in the 1950's Czechoslovakia.
So who is this little mole?
Krtek (or Krteček '
little mole') is an animated series for children following the adventures of the eponymous mole and his friends Králík (Rabbit), Myška (Mouse), Ježek (Hedgehog) and Žabka (Frog). Communicating only in squeaks, Krtek and his friends solves various problems with teamwork and a healthy sense of mischief.
