Synopsis

Jiri Trnka was a highly acclaimed Czech stop-motion animation director. In 1966, before his death, Newsday called him "second to Chaplin as a film artist," noting his work marked a significant shift in animation, previously dominated by Disney. Trnka's films continue to impress viewers. This collection features five of his short films and his feature film "The Emperor's Nightingale," an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale narrated by Boris Karloff. Included are: "The Emperor's Nightingale" (1951, 67 min.), "The Hand" (18 min.), "The Story of the Bass Cello" (13 min.), "A Merry Circus" (11 min.), "A Drop Too Much" (14 min.), "The Song of the Prairie" (21 min.), and a documentary about Jiri Trnka (12 min.).
