Very nice thread topic Pawian, thanks for your contribution. Enjoyed learning about polish cartoons.
Thanks, but you sound a bit pessimistic with that past tense. The thread will be continued!
We never had those cartoons here.
Not even this? The Polish version of Winnie the Pooh?
That cartoon was really devoid of violence and very educational for small children. However, unlike Winnie the Pooh, the Flop-Ear Bear is always wise, mature, responsible etc etc. Also friendly, well mannered, gentle, polite etc etc . Most Polish kids knew the intro and end songs by heart:

Miś Uszatek (Teddy Floppy-ear) is a Polish character from the stop motion-animated TV series of the same name. He was created jointly by Polish writer Czesław Janczarski and cartoonist Zbigniew Rychlicki.[1]
Miś Uszatek's first appearance was in a Polish comic magazine for children, "Miś", on 6 March 1957. Later, he was the main character of several children's books, which were translated into many languages. However, it became very popular in 1975, when £ódź' Animated Forms Studio (Studio Malych Form Filmowych), Se-ma-for, created a series of cartoons for the Polish TV network, featuring actor Mieczysław Czechowicz, who voiced the characters.[2] In all-time Polish ranks of animated programs, it usually comes second only to Bolek i Lolek.
Miś Uszatek and his friends - Prosiaczek (Piglet), Króliczki (Little Rabbits) and Zajączek (Little Hare), as well as Kruczek the Puppy - were loved by pre-teen kids. At the same time, Uszatek, a teddy bear, played the role of a friend from kindergarten. He was also liked by parents, as he would always go to bed at appropriate hour, singing the goodnight song:
" Pora na dobranoc, bo już księżyc świeci. Dzieci lubią misie, misie lubią dzieci. (It's time to go to bed, as the moon is shining. Kids like teddy bears, teddy bears like kids.)[2]
