Pityke (1980– ) User Reviews

Hungarian educational cartoon from the 80s

[coolkoon · 6 March 2006]

Pityke is a cartoon series about public safety issues (i.e. that thumbing a lift can be dangerous and so on) in the 80s of Hungary. Pityke is a police officer commanded by a robot general. He's the one in charge in patrolling an area. The episodes are short (about 6-7 minutes each), however, it is a very good cartoon series despite the fact that it has been made in times of Kádár's "goulash communism", when Hungary began adapting capitalism (i.e. Kádár legalized handicraft and market gardening for individuals and began importing goods from the West), and because of this it was the most liberal communist country in the World.
