...Sunday nights in Georgia nearly everyone stays in to watch TV. First there?s a satirical cartoon called Dardubella, featuring the animated antics of President Eduard Shevardnadze and his hapless ministers.

...grandmother’s refrigerator door is covered in yellowing clippings of particularly trite cartoons.

Children enjoyed its slapstick, adults enjoyed its more mature humor and all marveled at the smooth blend of actors and Toons. The entire entertainment industry was forced to reassess their ideas about how animation should be done, and for whom...
