Deutsch Dieses Märchen profitiert ein wenig von der Popularität des Fantasy-Genres, das heutzutage sehr beliebt ist. Dank des Drehbuchs, das nicht ganz fade ist, dank der Schauspieler*innen, der Ausstattung (eine frische Regie, solide Tricks → der Drache wirkt nicht lächerlich, Brouseks sehr gelungene Musik) und der Tatsache, dass es "anders" ist, verdient es unsere Aufmerksamkeit. Die einzigen Dinge, die mich gestört haben, waren die nervige und überflüssige Figur des Jungen aus der Gegenwart, Dejdars gelegentliches Übertreiben und die Langweile ungefähr in der Mitte des Films. Die Hippie-Zauberin Libuše Šafránková, das sympathische Paar Prinzessin + Marionettenspieler und die witzigen Sprüche vom charismatischen Jiří Bartoška haben mir sehr gefallen. Drei und ein Stück.

Englisch I was looking forward to the Christmas Eve fairy tale, hoping that this time it would work out and it wouldn't be another awkward attempt. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, even though it didn't seem like that after the first ten minutes. Well, maybe next year... ()

Englisch This is exactly why Czech fairy tales have been declining for quite some time now. The story is quite simple, which wouldn't be a problem, but it's set in a strange Arabesque anabasis with the real world. If this sequence were removed and the entire storyline with the boy skipped, the story would essentially remain unchanged. Even then, it would still just be a forced fairy tale that only captures attention because it's aired at Christmas. ()
