If you loved L'Année Tchèque, try The Emperor's Nightingale
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Jiří Trnka, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy mood tags, and they sit in Animation / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to L'Année Tchèque, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Emperor's Nightingale is
A toy empire of gears and glitter gets tangled in its own shimmer. A sick ruler chooses a clockwork songbird over the real deal, until honesty in a feathered form saves the day. A noble fable polished to a sheen that still creaks a little.
