Disney’s Mickey Mouse is well known to American children. Another character, however, is familiar to millions of children outside of the United States.

The Little Mole is a Czech cartoon that was made by Zdenek Miler and first appeared in 1956.

The Little Mole offers lessons to children about how to behave in life. Although the cartoon is more than 50 years old, it is still very popular today.

Other characters in the cartoon series include a mouse, a hedgehog, a rabbit and a frog – who are all friends of the mole.

Miler wanted children outside of his country to understand the cartoons as well. Therefore, there is no talking in the cartoons.
