Mole's adventures put on the screen a series of child-size situations created by Czech animator and director Zdnek Miler.
The format is suited to children: lasting 5 to 10 minutes they present a sequence of situations that attract attention and are easy to understand. The language is essentially visual (there is no spoken dialogue) and based on expressions and gestures, thus favoring true education to images.
Mol's experiences are like those of children: amazement, curiosity, the exploration of objects, courage, fears, etc.
And there is also an educational message: the importance of cooperation and friendship, as opposed to the aggressive and competitive content of many of today’s cartoons.
