Profesor Baltazar je animirani serijal stvoren od grupe autora u sklopu Zagrebačke škole crtanoga fima. Doživio je ogromnu popularnost zbog svojih univerzalnih vrijednosti: on je kozmopolit, obraća se svim ljudima dobre volje i svi su mu jednako vrijedni i dragi. Najpoznatiji je po svojoj dobroti, ljubavi prema svim bićima i spremnosti na rješavanje svih problema koji se pojavljuju u njegovoj okolini. Augustova treća sreća nastala je zbog želje da kultni lik Profesora Baltazara dobije novi život. Situacije u kojima se nalazio u brojnim epizodama serijala napravljenim u prošlosti se vrlo lako mogu preslikati u današnje vrijeme, odnosno može se reći da su teme koje serijal obrađuje bezvremenske. Zato Profesor Baltazar ide dalje, isti kakvoga ga se sjećamo i kakvoga volimo. Originalni autor i redatelj, Boris Kolar, je radio na novom animiranom filmu zajedno s odličnom ekipom studija Diedra upravo zato da se ne dogodi odstupanje od originala.

Professor Balthazar is an animated series created by a group of authors from the Zagreb School of Animated Film. Due to the universal values that Professor Balthazar represented, the cartoon series gained enormous popularity. He is cosmopolitan, he addresses all people with good intentions and everybody is equally valuable to him. His most famous traits are his benevolence and love for all beings and his readiness to solve all problems arising in his surroundings. „Third Time Lucky“ came into existence because of the wish to give a new life to the iconic character of Professor Balthazar. The situations he had been facing in numerous episodes created in the past can be easily copy-pasted to modern times and it can be stated that the topics elaborated by the series are timeless. That is why Professor Balthazar goes on, the same guy who we remember and who we love. One of the original authors, Boris Kolar, worked as director on the new animated film together with the great team from the Diedra studio to make sure that the work does not deviate from the original.
