Fantadroms is a Latvian children's sci-fi cartoon by production company Studio Dauka. The episodes were released sporadically between 1985 and 1995, and all thirteen of them were released as a collection on DVD in 2006. The hero of the show is a yellow shape-shifting robot called Indrikis XIII, who usually takes the form of a cat. He flies through space, mediating various disputes between the other characters. One recurring dynamic in the show is the love triangle between Indrikis XIII and Receklite - the flying purple cat-octopus with whom he is in love with, and the rat – who is in love with Indrikis. Other recurring characters include a cow, a (human) woman, and an amorphous pink blob. The episode "Salt" won the Lielais Kristaps award for best animation in 1985. The show has no dialogue and drama unfolds through pantomime and expressive noises such as grunts, groans, and laughter, which allows the show to cross language barriers.

A film for children about how a baby comes into this world. The sexual revolution happened in Latvia thanks to Māris Putniņš, an artist and soon-to-be among the most visible Latvian puppet animation specialists. In 1989, he published a series of drawings showing that babies aren’t brought by storks or found in cabbage patches in the famous children’s magazine Zīlīte. This popular-science film by Roze Stiebra recreates this long-kept-from-children truth on the big screen.

The motives of Latvian folk songs are based on a romantic message about human life. A bird, a human child, a fish and clouds – these are the images of the film, which are created and illuminated by the eternal sun. There is also the fiery Fox and The Wolf encountered in winter, also the little flying animal from the depths of the past. All of them live, rush, strive and yearn for the endless variations of being. One circle of The Sun, one life, moment and eternity here and there, in the mystical world "beyond nine lakes".

Influenced by the mood of the winter solstice, a story is raised about the approach of lonely creatures in the bustle of the holiday, in the mysterious light of the campfire flame and the Moon. Snow is falling, everyone is dancing, and everyone is finding a mate. But there is Christmas!
