Pat a Mat TV series

Post by Cordylus »

Have you ever heard about the old Czech animated series "Pat a Mat"?

The series is about the two handyman neighbours facing mostly self-made problems, trying to solve them using crazy tools and constructions. This leads to even more problems and yet, eventually, the two manage to get a working result with a mostly surprising solution.
The show is very funny and optimistic. The two characters always get into problematic situations, but they never give up until they solve the problem in imaginative ways.

Here is one episode:

It's my favourite TV stop-motion show. :D

Is this a new LP series?


Oh, wait... No, no.
It's just what it seems like when I watch newer players playing. :mrgreen:

I think it's great that they didn't use any language in the program. Minimizes cross-cultural barriers.

The Factorio-style automation theme is very popular in these series:

This is one of the best cartoon series out there, right after the original Tom & Yerry.

And if I'm not mistaken this series represents the first masive use of stop motion picture.
