Cartoon "The Boy General" Created in Serial Form
  When we talk about the most popular cartoons in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, we can take the 100-part cartoon "The Boy General" as an example.
  All the Korean people, young and old, like the cartoon "The Boy General" and have a better understanding of the long history of the Korean nation through it.
  The cartoon shows the patriotic spirit of the Koguryo people who defeated foreign invaders and defended the country.
  Koguryo is the first feudal state of Korea which existed between 277 B.C. and A.D. 668.
  The Korean cartoon "The Boy General" was produced at the Korea April 26 Animation Studio.
  Its production started in 1981 and 50 parts were completed in the late 1990s.
  Section Chief Kim Jin Hyok at the Korea April 26 Animation Studio said:
  "Creators of the former generation produced the 50 parts of the cartoon 'The Boy General', which were very popular. Resting content with it, they did not think of making its sequel.
  On November 26, 2014, respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited our studio and said we should produce the cartoon up to 100 parts.
  And he continued: The sequel of the cartoon should be produced on the theme that patriotism continues down through generations. The hero will be old to have a child or a grandchild. In the course, the cartoon should show that patriotism continues generation after generation."



  Comrade Kim Jong Un paid special concern to the creation of cartoon conducive to the cultural and emotional life of the people.
  That is how the production of the cartoon "The Boy General" continued amid the concern of the whole country from 2015.
  It was not easy to produce the sequel of the cartoon up to 100 parts, which had been completed nearly 20 years before.
  As Comrade Kim Jong Un said, the creators set the human relations and theme and weaved a plot.
  Whenever every part of the sequel was televised, the reflection on it was great and everybody waited for the next part to be televised.
  The cartoon "The Boy General" is still popular among the people.
