The first episode, "Glava za kapu", was shown at festivals in Zagreb and Chicago (1994), as well as Cannes, France, where it got a positive reception. Croatian Radiotelevision produced a total of 39 episodes, and the show was also broadcast abroad in countries like Hong Kong, Israel, France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] The show is animated using the traditional 2D hand-drawn technique, and each episode is roughly 3 minutes long.
