Tadeusz Wilkosz

Graduated in the High School Section of Industrial Design of Prague in 1956. After working in planning and producing tasks, debuted as short film director in 1959. Very soon his short films of stop-motion animation began to win prizes: "Furious Lion" (1960) in Poland, and "Dick and the Cat" (1963) and "Teddy-Bear's Mid-Morning" (1967) abroad. This same year he did his most famous work, the TV series "The Adventures of Colargol Bear" (1967-74). This character, created by Olga Pouchine in 1960 and also known as Barnaby Bear and Jeremy Bear, was so popular in the 70s that Tadeusz directed a long feature film with him entitled "Colargol Bear Goes West" in 1976.
