Různí / various | Spain | 60 min

One of the themes of this year’s Anifilm is the extensive and progressive Spanish animation. This broad subject simply couldn’t be omitted from our programme for children. Anifilm therefore presents two mixed showcases composed of two successful Spanish animated series for children. One of them is the charming classical claymation “Capelito.” This series, depicting the stories of a forest mushroom, was successfully screened in Třeboň in the past. Internationally popular and award-winning “Capelito” was created in the Spanish studios Estudio Rodolfo Pastor, which have been focusing on stop-motion animation since 1980. The second series – “Pocoyo” – will be screened in its Slovak version. This animated fairy-tale about a small jokester is made with 3D animation and is popular among children of many countries.

Stories about Mum and Dad

Stories about Mum and Dad

Kristina Dufková | Czech Republic | 2016 | 56 min

A puppet story about the meaning of family and the things you need to start a new and proper one. Through the eyes of young Tonda, who is hidden in his mommy’s belly for nine months, we experience an adventure full of fantasy and original humour.
Do you also think you’ve seen everything? Think again! This story is told by unborn Tonda who is still in his mommy’s belly. Accompanied by his commentary, we watch his parents fall in love and get married. And so his family, which he cherishes so much, is formed. If we don’t include Toník, the main heroes of the story are his mommy Lucie, a painter, and his daddy Josef, a joiner. But the family also consists of Tonda’s grandparents. One grandma is called Coco (she is the soul of Chanel) and the other one, who modestly calls herself Paganini, plays the violin. One of the grandfathers, Lojza, is a confectioner and the other one, Antonín, a joiner. He has unfortunately passed, but despite that, the house is full of him. That happens sometimes, and not only in fairy-tales! The stories of Toník’s family are full of fantasy and gentle and original humour. In some episodes, we meet the family’s neighbours from the nearby forest – the Hoopoe, the Rabbit and the Owl. But the most important thing is that the members of this big family all love each other and have lots of fun.

Bon Appétit, Your Lordship, 1996, 3 ep. x 8 min
An animated farce about two cooks, Cat and Mouse, who are cooking for the impatient Dog. This animated series by the distinctive director and graphic artist Václav Mergl is full of ideas that were invented for the script by the director’s wife and collaborator, Pavla Merglová. The series has no dialogue, the story is expressed by means of humorous and lively animation, sounds and illustrative score by composer and pianist Zdeněk Zdeněk.

Sádlík and Hryz, 1983, 2 ep. x 8 min
This animated series for small children tells the story of two frolicking friends – a rather greedy wild boar called Sádlík and his squirrel friend Hryz. Together they experience various adventures and face all sorts of peril. Although they are completely different, they can overcome the danger together and will eventually become good friends.

Nenechavá koza / The Thieving Goat

Apolenka the Doll, 1981, 4 x 8 min
An alarm clock rings in the attic of an old house. Apolenka and her two gnomish friends – clumsy Tinman and lively Bakulín – wake up in the drawers of an old sewing machine. They jump out of their boxes, have breakfast and run out for adventures. One time Apolenka gets lost and her friends have to find her. Another time a startled locomotive takes them to Africa, and another time still a mean snowman causes trouble. Václav Mergl made the stories in Jiří Trnka’s Prague studios after a year of careful preparation and studying fairy-tales and literature for children.

Jak ji nemohli najít / Apolenka is Lost
Splašená lokomotiva / The Startled Locomotive

Adventure Time I.

Různí / various | United States | 2015 | 60 min

American animated series “Adventure Time” was created in 2010 by animator Pendleton Ward for the Cartoon Network. Since then, it has become a cult for children but mainly for their parents. The episodes, which have an original and elaborate artistic style, are full of cultural references, endless fantasy and excellent music by Rebecca Sugar and many more. The story line usually concentrates on a boy named Finn and his adoptive brother Jake, a dog with magical powers. They encounter unknown beings, save princesses and fight monsters. Czech Television dubbed the episodes that are suitable for younger audiences and avoid the dark sides of this utterly crazy and colourful universe.

Mimi & Lisa

Katarina Kerekesova | Slovakia | 2012 | 60 min

This visually captivating and artistically unique Slovak series Mimi and Lisa is one of the most successful projects of modern Slovak animation. Its authors focus on a confrontation of two worlds: of the seeing and of the blind. In a sensitive way, they try to explain to children that the world can be seen and perceived through various senses and that tolerance is important in life. The heroines of the series are two girls – blind Mimi and her friend Lisa. Together, they go on trips which often blend with the world of their fantasy. The series is unique in its innovative direction by famous Slovak director Katarína Kerekes which goes hand in hand with the demanding animation technique used during production. Children can therefore have an immense artistic and emotional experience. The festival selection includes the first seven episodes.

The Oddsockeaters: reading and screening

60 min

Director and graphic artist Galina Miklínová, the co-author of the Odd-Sock Eaters trilogy about small odd-sock-stealing monsters living among us, will introduce her charming and original world to child audiences in two forms: as the original book by Pavel Šrut with her illustrations, and also as the eagerly anticipated film. The book is one of the most successful and best-selling works for children in recent years – in 2011, a survey conducted by the Litera association named it as the best book for children of the decade. The trilogy offers an original story, based on the fantastic world of odd-sock eaters, supported by a captivating artistic style. The programme will include the author reading from her book and also previews from the film in production. Viewers will have a unique opportunity to find out what the odd-sock eaters actually look like on a big screen six months prior to the premiere. Interestingly, the filmmakers have chosen 3D animation, so the sock thieves will expand into another dimension in the film.
