Old Polish animated cartoon series

[Bonobo]

Bolek and Lolek, my fav cartoon in 1970s. Communist TV showed one episode at 7pm. It was called Dobranocka - Good Nightie (bed time story). I was incessantly elated when it started and in the dumps when it finished. Only 10 minutes of bliss!! Is it a surprise I have always hated communism?

Bolek and Lolek are two Polish cartoon characters from the TV animated series by the same title (Bolek i Lolek in Polish). They are based on W³adys³aw Nehrebecki's sons, named Jan and Roman, and were partially created by German-born Alfred Ledwig before being developed by W³adys³aw Nehrebecki and Leszek Lorek. The series is about two young brothers and their fun and sometimes silly adventures which often involve spending a lot of time outdoors. They first appeared in an animated film in 1964.

The names of the two characters are diminutives of Boles³aw and Karol. In English, the cartoon was distributed as Jym & Jam and Bennie and Lennie. Some episodes were seen as part of Nickelodeon's Pinwheel. In 1973 the creators of the film placed on the request from the female viewing audience a girl character by the name of Tola. The first time she appeared in occurred in the episode entitled "Tola". In total, Tola appeared in 30 episodes.

Most episodes do not have dialogues. Exceptions are feature-length films and the series from the 1980s, where the main characters' voices were done by: Bolek - Ewa Z³otowska, Ilona Ku¶mierska; Lolek - Danuta Mancewicz, Danuta Przesmycka.

During the period of the Peoples Republic of Poland (PRL), Bolek and Lolek were reproduced in a large quantity of toys: action figures, movies, postcards, online arcades, puzzles, etc., which can be seen in the Museum of Dobranocek (bed-time stories) of the PRL. They are also currently made in computer programs, coloring books, general picture books and games.

Of all the Polish animated cartoons Bolek and Lolek ranks as number one all-time favorite. The series was popular in many countries, and was one of the few animated movies allowed to be broadcast by Iranian television just after the revolution of 1979.

The episodes were repeated in various programmes.

Here are the ones I looked forward to impatiently:


In the Sands of Gobi Desert - adventures with a dinosaur egg.



Princess in Captivity - boys move into a magic kingdom and save the princess. Knights!


Yeti



In Pharaoh`s Tomb



I can see from youtube comments the boys were very popular with kids around the world:


It's a great surprise to find this. =) I'm a fan of Bolek and Lolek. These cartoons were aired on channel 11 in Mexico in the mid 80's. As many people I thought it was russian but I was wrong. Greetings to all Polish people from Mexico. Un saludo caluroso desde Mexico. ¿



نا احب هذا الكرتون وااااااااااااايد
كنا نشوفه انا واختي هي الولد الكبير وانا الصغير
i love this cartoon sooooooooooooooo much
i used to watch it with my sister when we were children


i used to watch this when i was a kid back in iran wow this bring so many memories of my childhood back :.)


Bring back memories.. Man, those wore THE DAYS!


ΣΑΝ ΝΑ ΤΑΝ ΧΘΕΣ ΜΟΥ ΦΑΙΝETAI ΠΟΥ ΞΑΠΛΩΝΑ ΣΤΟ ΤΡΑΠΕΖΙ ΤΟΥ ΣΑΛΟΝΙΟΥ(μου άρεζε πολυ να ξαπλωνω σε τραπεζια οταν ημουν μικρη :-p )ΚΑΙ ΕΒΛΕΠΑ ΜΕ ΤΙΣ ΩΡΕΣ ΚΙΝΟΥΜΕΝΑ...ΛΟΛΕΚ-ΜΠΟΛΕΚ ΦΥΣΙΚΑ ΑΠ Τ ΑΓΑΠΗΜΕΝΑ ΜΟΥ...κ ο λουκυ λουκ κ ο μπαλου...αααχ ωραια χρονια :-D


in Cuba we used to watch these cartoons a lot too. They are great.

shit they still show this in Cuba

When I was a kid in Cuba we ran everytime we heard this cartoons were played on tV,they were something special for us.


I really enjoy this video, it bring me a lot of memories. Bolek and Lolek were of my favorites cartoons. I don´t think is sad to see them alone, they were always their playing using their imagination. Is sad that the kids now enjoy the violence instead of using their minds!


they used to play Bolek and Lolek in greek television years ago, i was watching as a kid!


I can't believe they have this!!! my childhood!


i love these guys f**k**g awesome
