Mar 19 2010Man, Czech Kids Get All the Best Quirky Stop-Motion Films
Take this film, Kuky Returns, for instance (don't ask me for any more examples). From the trailer, it looks like a feature length adaptation of a Spike Jonze music video that never existed in our multiverse instance. By which I mean it looks great:
For those who don't speak this wild tongue, Twitch provided this summary:
Kuky Returns is the story of a boy six Ondra, who suffers from asthma, and so on "health reasons" must be off his favorite toy - a pink bear kuky. When mom Kukyho throw in the trash, it will work Ondrová fantasy in which experienced Kukyho adventure in an unknown natural world. It's really just a dream a little boy or kuky actually went to the biggest adventure of his plush life.
Hmm. I wonder if kuky will end up returning...

A little of this looks like it might be enhanced by stop-motion, but most of it looks like just plain puppets. Still awesome though.

Billy: Alright, besides Švankmajer.

Its like Jan Svankmejer, Hayao Miyazaki and Spike Jonze all took Julie Taymor behind a school and got her pregnant - AT THE SAME TIME.

Looks like a really hard level of LittleBigPlanet.

@7 Jiri Trnka is awesome! (Toy Story anyone?) There's also that Czech guy who did The Fisherman's Wife and The Cobbler. Do you know the name of the one about the boy during WWI who has to sell his legs for food or medicine or something and can't pull his cart home?

Stop Motion? Looks more like puppetry to me, like the Henson creatures in Dark Crystal.
I'd still love to see this, regardless.

The premise reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit (a boy gets scarlet fever so his plush rabbit gets thrown out, but a pixie turns it into a real rabbit). This trailer looks pretty awesome; definitely weren't any crazy little puppet monsters (with flamethrowers) in the Velveteen Rabbit.

real puppets. smoking in a kids movie. plot ripped off from velveteen rabbit. this is what kids movies were like back when hollywood made them right.

The knowledge that the new, CGI Marmaduke movie will probably be seen by more people in its opening weekend than this movie will in 10 years, makes me want to cry.

Kind of reminds me of a cross between the Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace made with puppets....
Only the puppets are better actors than Hamill or Jake Lloyd.
More believable plot too...

That's the plot to the Velveteen Rabbit
