Synopsis

The popular 78-part series about the two handymen using any possible and impossible tools and construction gadgets first appeared in a 1976 short film entitled Kuťáci(The Tinkers). Later, the characters appeared in more shorts, making their own TV series called ...A je to!(...And it's done!). They were named Pat and Mat in 1989, and this became the name of the show. Lubomír Beneš (1935-1995) studied drawing, painting and writing, and began working in animation in the late 1950s in the Animation Studios of Krátký Film Praha. In 1967 he realized his first film, Homo in Jiří Trnka Studio, and since he directed over a hundred shorts, mostly puppet animation.
