Burovs was the founder of the puppet animation studio now known under the name of Animācijas Brigāde; cartoon animation films are made at Dauka and Rija studios. The hilarious doings and catch-phrases of the three characters, three funny chaps from The Trouble Crew children's puppet animation series, are quoted even by parents. Whenever The Trouble Crew by Jānis Cimmermanis or Munk and Lemmy by Nils Skapāns is on the telly, children glue themselves to the TV screens and laugh, no matter how many times they've watched the episode before. Mums forget all about kitchen and meatballs get burnt but dads look up from their newspapers. Kids laugh about the goings-on on the screen, their parents snigger about stuff one can't exactly put a finger on ― the way modern society is depicted through universal human symbols and the behavioural pattern demonstrated by the trio.

Anyone who has seen a film by our animators brightens up. The artistic quality is indisputably high. Besides, the films have their hallmark stamped on them like silver or gold ― it’s the originality of our national character. The biggest asset of the most distinguished of our animation directors Roze Stiebra and Ansis Bērziņš is their ability to make films like The Cat's Mill, Nes and Nessie, The Rabbits’ Bath Day and Fantadrom with all the cheerfulness and kindness everyone would love to receive from those around. The Rija animation film studio headed by producer Vilnis Kalnaelle has worked with their foreign colleagues on animation films Kirikou and the Witch and The Belleville Rendezvous. The latter was actually nominated for the prestigious Oscar Award. The social psychological animation films by Signe Baumane, a member of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences: The Gold of the Tigers and Woman. Animation films Grandfather's Honey and Sleeplessness were a brilliant debut by Vladimirs Leščovs.
