Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Hungarian animation of the 1970s had that distinct Eastern European melancholy wrapped in bright colors—Mikrobi is basically a space-age Mézga family with fewer adults and more existential dread for robots.
Creator György Botond Bolics was a prolific figure in Hungarian animation, though Mikrobi remains one of his most obscure exports—most English-language databases barely acknowledge its existence.
