did not attain the popularity of his earlier works. After World War I, his works contained less humor and were much gloomier. The second part of Sügis remained in manuscript for four decades, the entire story not being published until 1988. There are highly popular Estonian films (in Estonian and Russian languages) Spring, Summer (1976 film) (based on Suvi and Tootsi pulm) and Autumn (1990 film) (based on Argipäev and Sügis). The films are all produced by Arvo Kruusement. Oskar Luts also wrote for children, and his most popular children's book is Nukitsamees (1920), which has also been made into a 1981 film (Nukitsamees). The music for Nukitsamees was written by Olav Ehala and is as popular as the film itself. As a playwright, Oskar Luts is best known for Kapsapea (The Cabbage). The animation "Kapsapea" is based on Oskar Luts' writings. The cartoon is about a large cabbage growing in the garden of an Estonian family. The cabbage eventually causes a sensation in the US, Russia and China. Oskar Luts' works have been translated into many languages.
