If you loved The Emperor's Nightingale, try The Czech Year

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

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 The Emperor's Nightingale, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Czech Year is

It turns out puppets can be festive. The film depicts traditional Czech village customs in six sequences. Folk traditions get a charming if old-fashioned showcase.
