Now, thanks to the efforts of the Little Mole’s ‘family’ in the Czech Republic and Chinese Central Television, the two will join forces in a new animated cartoon series that looks set to delight audiences in Europe and China.
現在，在捷克共和國《鼴鼠的故事》制作方和中國中央電視臺的共同努力下，熊貓和小鼴鼠將牽手亮相中捷新近攝制的系列卡通片《熊貓和小鼴鼠》，給歐洲和中國的觀眾帶來無盡歡樂。

中央電視臺的一位高管告訴《中國日報》說，《熊貓和小鼴鼠》目前處于后期制作階段，將于3月28日在中國開播。

Weijing Zeng, the state broadcaster’s director of animation, told China Daily the 52 episodes would be aired on CCTV’s Children’s Channel 14 from 7 pm weekly, with two 12 minute episodes per transmission.
央視動畫部主任曾偉京表示，這部52集的卡通片即將登陸央視少兒頻道（央視14套），每周播出一次，于晚七點連播兩集，每集12分鐘。

這部合拍卡通片開播之際，正值習近平主席對捷克共和國進行為期兩天的國事訪問，有關官員稱此次訪問旨在加強中捷兩國在貿易、體育及文化等多領域的合作。

The Little Mole, Krtek in Czech, was the brainchild of Zdenek Miler, animator who first introduced the small black and white creature with the red nose 60 years ago. The cartoon series, famous for its simplicity, became a hit throughout eastern Europe and France.
《鼴鼠的故事》，60年前由捷克動畫大師茲德內克·米萊爾創作而成，小鼴鼠這個有著紅紅鼻子的黑白色的小家伙自此問世。這部系列卡通片，以故事情節簡單著稱，在東歐和法國一路所向披靡，擁躉不計其數。

CCTV first showed the original Little Mole series in China in the 1980s, and it rapidly gained a big following amongst children.

33歲的陳超（音）是北京的一位瓷器藝術家，80年代觀看這部卡通片時，他就被其別具一格的藝術風格深深打動。

“It was like a combination of paper cut and collage, and the subject dealt with the impact of human life on animal life, which in today’s view, related to environmental protection, ”he said.
陳超說：“這部卡通片就像是剪紙藝術和拼貼藝術的完美結合，而且它的主題討論的是人類生活對動物生存的影響，以今天的觀點來看，就是環保題材。”

He is curious to see whether there is change in artistic style and is looking forward to new stories and metaphors in the new panda and mole animation.
陳超表示，他很好奇新片的藝術風格是否會有變化，同時期待在《熊貓和小鼴鼠》中看到新鮮的故事和寓意。

Lucie Bradacova-Gomezova, a property manager and translator, told China Daily that she prefers the Little Mole over American cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, which tend to be more violent, whereas the Little Mole is seen as gentle and adorable.
露西·布拉達科娃·戈麥斯是一位道具師兼翻譯，她告訴《中國日報》，相比《貓和老鼠》這樣更為暴力的美國卡通片，她更喜歡《鼴鼠的故事》，喜歡它的敦厚可愛。

“I remember watching it as a little girl on a black and white TV when Czechoslovakia only had two channels. Now my kids love to watch it on DVD. It really stands the test of time,” she said.
戈麥斯說：“我還記得我是個小女孩時，用黑白電視機觀看《鼴鼠的故事》的情景，那時的捷克斯洛伐克只有兩個電視頻道。今天，我的幾個孩子用DVD觀看這部卡通片，不變的是對它的鐘愛。《鼴鼠的故事》的確經得起時間的考驗。”
