Pomysłowy Dobromir (Inventive Dobromir) is a Polish children's series of 20 animated shorts, produced from 1973 to 1975.Every short follows a similar formula. Dobromir, a boy living in the country, sees his grandpa struggling with some back-breaking physical task. Dobromir, in a flash of inspiration, designs a mechanical tool which would automate the task. His animal friend, a smart but unintelligible bird, attempts to describe the invention to the grandfather, who only manages to grasp the concept when Dobromir brings in his newly-constructed tool for a demonstration of how it makes life easier.The series was written by Adam Słodowy, the Real Life Gadgeteer Genius from Polish TV, who ran his 'Do it yourself' show for years, majorly averting Doom It Yourself.The series was continued in the years 1984-1988 with Pomysłowy Wnuczek (Inventive Grandson), based on the same concept. You'll find it, along with some more cartoons by the same studio, on the studio's official YouTube channel. |

Brilliant, but Lazy: Perceptiveness and an active mind, along with good amount of laziness is how people become inventors, Dobromir included. |

Strictly Formula |
| | Pomysłowy Dobromir (Animation) / int_3f1aadeb |
comment |
Strictly Formula: There is a minor inconvenience in Dobromir/his grandfathers' life. Dobromir notices it and starts building a machine to solve it, but the first attempt goes wrong. Then MacGyvering begins. Finally he drafts an actual, working device on his big blackboard, builds it (on his own or with grandfather's help), it works perfectly. Everybody's happy! |

| | Pomysłowy Dobromir (Animation) / int_4f4372e9 |
comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: In the first two episodes, Dobromir doesn't make his trademark "yo-hoo!" after his idea marble bursts and he has a new concept. He also employs local animals to help, like asking a beaver to drill tree trunks for pipes (chainsaw sounds included) or a woodpecker to help him with a sewing machine prototype - something that would never happen later. |

Cartoon Creature: The bird. It's of unspecified species, not resembling anything that's native to Poland - or Europe, for that matter. As far as the surviving documentation helps, it was never intended to be anything in particular, as opposed to plot-important bird species. |

Art Evolution: If viewed in chronological order, then from episode to episode there are slight improvements in animation and details. Even the frame-rate itself is gradually increasing. The sequel-remake from the 80s, titled Pomysłowy wnuczek (Inventive grandson), has significantly more detailed animation, character models and backgrounds. If not for the premise and title, it could be easily taken for a separate show. |
