The Little Mole as a Painter

About This Movie

So, this one’s the twelfth episode in the little Mole series, which is quite fascinating in its own right. The animation has that charming, simplistic vibe typical of the era, and it’s interesting how it captures a playful spirit. The Mole gets his paws on some colors, and oh boy, the way he transforms his friends with paint is both whimsical and a tad chaotic. The pacing feels just right for a short — not rushed, allowing the humor to breathe. And the theme of teamwork against the fox adds a nice touch. It's all very light-hearted but there’s a clever undertone about creativity, too. Definitely stands out in the series for its colorful approach, literally and figuratively.

This episode has become somewhat of a collector's gem, though the overall series has its share of fans. First released on various formats, including VHS and DVD, it's still not easy to find in good condition, particularly the earlier releases. The charming animation style and the nostalgia factor draw collectors, but be mindful of the different regional releases which may have varying cover art and edits. Overall, it’s a delightful piece that encapsulates a unique moment in children's animation.
