Logan D @Greynomad38 Dec 2 When a doll named Buttercup is kidnapped by minions of the Head of State, her friends, a marionette, a teddy bear, and the indescribable Laurent, set out to rescue her. A hero's journey with an ensemble of odd characters with a lot of emotional warmth. Every character was created from salvaged items. I loved using pillows as clouds and sheets as a flood. It is for children and has a simple plot. What really irked me were the dubbed voices that sounded like amateurs trying to vocalize children's characters. It felt like the actors were disrespecting their audience. Still, one of the best stop motion animation I've ever seen.

Truly enchanting and not to be missed!

It's like if Svankmajer was doing Winnie the Pooh...or if "Toy Story 3" had staunch anti-communist sentiments riddled throughout. All around a brilliant film from Czech animation master, Jiri Barta. See more 08/08/2010 In a time when GC animation dominates the cinemas, this Czech stop motion film is an absolute treat. Beautifully animated and funny as hell, its what you'd expect Toy Story would be like if they decided to make it in somebodies acttic. Worth seeking out.

L'oeuvre de Barta est très simple sur le fond: une princesse est enlevée par un méchant prince d'un autre monde. Ses amis vont tenter de la sauver. Toute l'action se passe dans un grenier et je peux vous jurer que Barta y a mis du sien en terme de créativité et d'ingéniosité. Je me suis pris rapidement au jeu, on ne s'ennuie presque jamais, il y a parfois quelques longueurs mais rien de grave. J'étais très craintif sur le fait que ce soit des marionnettes (pas trop mon truc) mais ça fonctionne en fait super bien. L'humour est présent aussi (j'ai même entendu plus souvent les adultes que les enfants rire), le rythme est très bien mené (coup de chapeau sur la musique qui est une partie importante du film) et je ne peux que vous conseiller de découvrir ce petit film d'animation tchèque.
