The Mole (Krtek) was produced in the years 1957–2002 by Czech studio Bratři v triku. All episodes were directed by Zdeněk Miler (1921–2011), creator of the title character. The series achieved a global success (it was presented in eighty-five countries), and the title character found its permanent place not only in the children’s culture, but also in pop culture in general. This article presents the observations about the music in Krtek which were gathered by the analysis of The Mole episodes produced before 1991 (Perestroika) — the essay is a part of a wider research on music in children’s animated films produced in the Central and Eastern Europe in the era of the USSR. The musical analysis is carried out using the descriptive method. The author describes the selected, representative parts of the film including the accompanying soundtrack, to present the most interesting solutions applied in the films developed by the four composers: Jaroslav Křička (1882–1969), William Bukový (1932–1968), Miloš Vacek (1928–2012) and Vadim Petrov (1932–). They have created the soundtracks rich in grasping musical ideas, at the same time referring more than once to a variety of styles and genres. However, the most common is the neoclassical aesthetics, and manifested in its two variants popular in the communist Europe — i.e. the archaic and folklore-like. The music of each composer varies in respect of the dependence on the movie itself — it is often marked by a desire to give music its autonomy (while still taking the film narration into account).
