The Eastside Cartoons Studio was founded 2002 in Germany by the german musician and cartoonist Klaus Leven. The sense of East side cartoons is to teach kids in a century of more than 800 TV channels and countless video games the importance of music, literacy and creativity. Klaus Leven and other artists of East side cartoons try to inspire kids to turn off their TV and other electronics to start their own creative program.

Only a few comments about Klaus:
