REFERENCES
- The first episode of the series about Bolek and Lolek entitled “Crossbow” was made in 1963. For half a century the small protagonists won the hearts of almost a billion people, cartoons about their adventures being shown in 80 countries around the world. The inspiration for characters of Bolek and Lolek were the sons of Władysław Nehrebecki – Jan and Roman. Between 1963 and 1986 over 150 cartoons were made, collected in 10 series, as well as two full-length films. Bolek and Lolek first spoke in the film Grand Trip of Bolek and Lolek.

- I am not convinced if the adventures of these characters have a chance to find their audience in contemporary children and young viewers who were brought up watching totally different cartoons, both from the point of view of their contents and technique. However, I might be wrong because the adventures of Bolek and Lolek display a lot of values, positive moral lessons and fascination with the surrounding world and its richness. They combine education with attractions, a simple formula with positive messages, they provoke hearty laughter, even half a century after their first broadcast.
