“Kajko and Kokosz” are an absolute classic of Polish comic and generations of readers grew up with them. The two warriors, small dragon Milus, castellan Mirmil, his wife Lubawa and witch Jaga - these are the characters that have entered the canon of Polish pop culture. Now, they were given new life, thanks to animated series. We will talk to Michał Śledziński, director and the legend of Polish comics and line producer Małgorzata Badowiec.
