If you don't know 'Macko Usko' you are for sure out of touch... that is with anyone over 25 who survived at least part of their childhood under Communism in Central Europe. Macko Usko is the total children's pop icon of the Cold War era. In Slovakia if you start to sing it's catchy theme song you are sure to find someone in the room who can finish the song for you. Macko Usko is the symbol of a generation that grew up under the "system", broke out, and now are forming the new-Slovakia. Sounds a bit revolutionary? Well, it's not. It's actually a very wholesome little claymation cartoon about a loppy eared bear (and his friends) that teaches children basic life lessons. And by the way.. my boys love it! So, we are now YouTube-ing it in the evening for them. Traditionally, Macko Usko would be aired at 7:10pm every night as a pre-bed-time story. Macko Usko's last words are always - Dobru Noc! (good night!) ... such sweet words :)Below are some pics of the boys mesmerized by Macko Usko. We will post some videos so you can get your own taste of Macko Usko.... Dobru Noc!
