Description
Summary:	Sixteen short animated films produced by the East German DEFA Animation Studio. Early films were intended for a younger audience but during the 1970's and 80s animation films were created for older audiences with topics relating to the political atmosphere in the GDR. It is interesting when one considers the biting satire in these animated films, usually displaying the discrepances between the socialist ideal and the realities of the GDR, that some of these films avoided censorship.
