Today, Zdeněk Miler is already one of the legendary Czech artists and directors of animated films. In 1945 he started working in the Barrandov "Brothers in T-shirts" studio under the direction of Jiří Trnka. The logo of the studio is the work of Zdeněk Miler. However, he became especially famous for a series of short films about the mole, which gained world popularity thanks to his artistic style and the fact that the animals communicate only through various sounds and interjections.
