Polish animated series about the adventures of clumsy goat - Koziołek Matołek on his way to the city of Pacanów.
The Strange Adventures of Matolek, the Billy-Goat (known as Dziwne Przygody Koziolka Matolka in Polish) is an animated children's television series that aired between 1969 and 1971, directed by Roman Huszczo. It is based on the comics produced in 1933 by Kornel Makuszynski (text) and Marian Walentynowicz (artwork). The premise centers around Matolek, a billy-goat who encounters many strange occurrences during his journey to the town of Pacanow, where legend is told they shoe goats. The encounters take place in various time periods from the present day to ancient times. Unlike the musical fairytale Przygody Koziolka Matolka, (which is more faithful to the original comics), the scripts for the television series are completely original with a lot of fast-paced action in each episode. Each episode begins with the following narration, spoken by Wieslaw Michnikowski:
this article*/this film will tell you everything
*In the musical fairytale; "Film ten wszystko wam opowie" in the animated series
As was the case with many animated cartoons made in Poland during that time, the characters don't talk but occasionally make sounds when shocked, startled, etc. (ex. bleating for a goat character).
