Beautiful, loved the music. No Doubt Walt Disney was shaking in his pants. “The legendary film by Jiří Trnka, on the motives of the Grimm Brothers, is a musical fever about a few unfortunate animals that matured into a bunch of bad robbers. Trnka celebrated him with great success at the Cannes Film Festival, where the whole world stared openly at the honest Czech championship. This film underscored the successful formation of European animation and divided the global influence of Disney in animated children's films. ANIMALS AND PETROVSTS are only the second film of a genius Czech creator (Zrzunda).” Source: csfd. Cannes: Grand Prix International du dessin animé.
