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.

In netherlands we got Pat and Mat as "Buurman en Buurman", the characters were voiced in dutch.

Love these animators so much, lots of nostalgia in one video❤

Great Video!

Thank you so much for this video, i’ll try to find some of these films on YT. Haven’t seen «La planète sauvage» by René Laloux but I had the dvd of «Les maîtres du temps» (Time Masters) and there was a few bonus on it. Laloux talked about how difficult it was to produce these films. Surely the animation was mainly made by Czechoslovakian animators by the finance and production was from France, so I would consider those film as french ones. Work of Karel Zeman is great, a sort of modern George Méliès for me, with all his visual tricks. Criterion edited three of his films in a boxset these past year. Still in Czechoslovakia a spoof of the western genre was brilliantly made by Oldrich Lipsky in 1964, «Lemonade Joe» is the english title. (another film shot in sepia tones, I don’t the reason of this). At 9:50 - For «The three robbers» a feature length film was made in 2007 titled «Trick or treaters» by US/German production. These characters must be part of Europe’s folklore. P.S.: In the 70s the french Canadian broadcaster (Radio-Canada) was presenting a lot of animated shorts coming from the Eastern European countries (Czechoslovakia, Romania, Poland, etc) and a few films (most of the time these productions were translated in french, in France). Although I don’t remember all of the animation style shown here, most of them seems familiar.

I've heard of a lot of these movies, where cab people actually watch them?

Super video!

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.

"Opression", "colonialism", "nationalism", "N*zi" etc. don't complete the bs-bingo. You forgot "antisemitism" (maybe I overheard it), "toxic masculinity", "male tears", "white guilt" and "sexism" among other buzzwords.

FANTASTIC PLANET MENTIONED WOOOO 💥💥🔥🔥🔥🤯🥶

Sorry chief, but it was *Horace* Walpole who wrote The Castle of Otranto- *Robert* Walpole was his father (and Britain’s first prime minister).

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 where little they were often doing Pat & Mat imitations.

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

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, I'm studying 70s animation for my own projects

Why did schools ban Where The Wild Things Are book

oh, I love how the youtube algorithm knows the weirdness in me❤

Wonder how the 1980's it's gonna be for czech animation.

I’m watching everything on this list

Amazing compilation of works! Can't wait for a video of argentinian animation.

MY POWER IS MAXIDOG

That was great! Very intresting. 'Pat a Mat' is still one of my favourite cartoons ever! And "Fantastic Planet" too, it was dubbed into my language but the dub itself is lost, sadly. Please, next do Brazilian or German animation. Both of these have a lot of intresting facts and a deep story behind them! (Also, I can help you a lot if you do Brazilian animation)

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.

May 2 24 Thursdays

might watch some of these

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!

I love this channel... Always discovering new filmmakers

La Planète sauvage is an extremely disturbing film in my eyes. Odd and off putting would be an understatement for this film.

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 UA-cam, most of them don't have any subtitles available.....

Hungary my forever love and I am Mexican

Honestly crazy how much of a powerhouse Czechoslovakia was in cinema.

Hey thanks! Something like this is actually exactly what I've been looking for lately:)

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

A Je To !!!!!!! My childhood !!!!

🍿🎞️ Thanks !

There is actually a Japanese Blu-ray release of many of his works but it was limited-edition and is highly sought after right now...really sad that it was such a limited release. Also have no idea if they come with Eng subs. But I have the Amazon listing if you want to see.

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.

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.

A je to! Is very entertaining, i recommend it to everyone who wants something silly.

amazing video!! love Viktor Kubal's films!

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.

hello, how do you like Czechoslovak art? I see that you summarized it nicely:-)) as a child I saw the Zemen film when they scare the dinosaurs with pots:-) it stayed in my head but only now I found out what it was, thank you:-))

Pat & Mat was a hit show in Iran!!!

Thank you so much❤ This came in perfect time. Id been appreciating Czech cinema for a while but never got into the for real

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.

Pat i Mat mentioned 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🇵🇱🇵🇱 (I know it’s not polish but I grew up watching it in Poland xD)

Fantastic planet is such a phenomenal film

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…

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
