Plot (short): General course including animations. Later 2000s title: "Víctor : curso de inglés". I found this during research for other titles of CREDSA and/or Video Teaching Services de Espana (The Cottage, 1988). 

Animations of Victor by J. Tendron (Aniforms). Half of the time, animations are shown. Otherwise looks similar like the classics like Telekolleg. A later version is called The New English Method. There are also French, Spanish, Italian, German and maybe other courses. And a DVD called Let's speak American (2009). One Warner DVD set (2 DVD) is for kids: "L'anglais avec Victor : dès 10 ans" (2006).
