It was one of the few countries in Europe that didn't translate the famous Sesame Street songs. This version does a lot with their own traditional music. [citation needed] The Muppets remain the main attraction, but now they speak Polish, have Polish names, and interact with actors playing Polish characters, including a grandfather whose bushy mustache makes him look like Poland's anti-communist hero and former president, Lech Walesa. There are even original Polish Muppets, designed in the United States by Jim Henson Productions based on thousands of Polish children's sketches.

  • It was one of the few countries in Europe that didn't translate the famous Sesame Street songs. This version does a lot with their own traditional music. [citation needed] The Muppets remain the main attraction, but now they speak Polish, have Polish names, and interact with actors playing Polish characters, including a grandfather whose bushy mustache makes him look like Poland's anti-communist hero and former president, Lech Walesa. Actor Andrzej Buszewicz was chosen for the role by children who were shown a group of photographs and picked his face as the most grandfatherly. "It turned out that (the Walesa look-alike) was the average grandfather the children selected," said Andrzej Kostenko, who shot the 52-episode series. The series had its debut in October, just after a version appeared in Russia in the Russian language. Before that, Polish children had only known the American version of Sesame Street with a man doing a voice-over and reading all the parts in Polish. Now, it's all Polish, from the dubbed dialogue to the Polish family that lives on the make-believe "Sezamkowa" Street. There are even original Polish Muppets, designed in the United States by Jim Henson Productions based on thousands of Polish children's sketches. The characters are: * Bazyli the Dragon, a jovial, furry dragon. * Beata, a lamb who thinks she knows everything. * Pędzipotwór, a female turquoise monster. In one episode, Beata played a TV commentator, reporting on an orchestra's performance as if it were a sporting event. "The piano is moving ahead and the violin is coming in second," she said. "The oboe has done something wrong. It's getting a yellow card from the conductor."
