Il Professor Balthazar

Professor Balthazar is one of the best animated shows to come out of eastern Europe. With imaginative stories, fluid animation and colourful 1960s aesthetics it's a sandwich of retro Zagrebfilm goodness. You don't even have to speak Croatian to understand the plots since most of the storytelling is visual. The show is episodic and every episode follows a simple yet effective formula; the world of Professor Balthazar is filled with many strange characters with many strange problems. But the kind professor always here to help. After a bit of thinking he always figures out a solution. His science might seem more like magic, you never know what to expect, so give this show a try and you will be in for many wonderful surprises.
