The Animals and the Brigands Audience Reviews

Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Lee Eisenberg I noticed that I'm the first one reviewing Jiří Trnka's "Zvířátka a Petrovští" ("Animals and Robbers") on IMDb. Trnka's not the most famous director, so that's no surprise. But you should find out about him and watch his movies. This is only the second of his movies that I've seen. It's based on the Grimm brothers' "Town Musicians of Bremen", in which a couple of aging animals suspect that their owners will want to get rid of them, so they decide to move to Bremen to seek a new fortune. In the process, they foil the plans of some robbers.Trnka's adaptation is a more flowery take on the story, with ballet music as the background sound. The cartoon got shown at the Cannes Film Festival right after its release in Czechoslovakia, proving to movie-goers that Eastern Europe could make impressive cartoons too. He used traditional animation as well as stop-motion. To this day, Trnka is known as the Walt Disney of Eastern Europe, and there's no doubt that he influenced Jan Švankmajer.I saw the cartoon on YouTube. It has no subtitles, but the action makes the plot clear.
