The Mole and the green star
The Mole is a character from Czech children's cartoons which were shown occasionally on BBC2 on wet afternoons when I was small. For some reason I remember these beautifully drawn cartoons as sad and frightening, although I don't see much sign of that now – perhaps the fact that the mole has a child's voice and cries realistically made him full of too much pathos. Originally found via Russell Davies.
