Vánocní sen (Short 1946)

Vánocní sen: Directed by Borivoj Zeman, Karel Zeman. Christmas has arrived. As a little girl and her parents enter the room, the little girl finds all kinds of toys under the Christmas Tree. She immediately throws her old doll aside and starts playing with her new dolls. But that night she has a dream. Or isn’t it a dream…

“Czechoslovak animator Karel Zeman made his directorial debut with u0026quot;Vánoční senu0026quot; (u0026quot;A Christmas Dreamu0026quot; in English), which he co-directed with his brother Bořivoj. The version that I saw had dialogue and scenes of Santa Claus, and I understand the original Czech version had neither.* The movie itself has kind of a bland plot, as a girl dreams that her rag doll comes to life and puts on a show. The stop motion animation is impressive, but thatu0026#39;s really the only reason to watch this. Nonetheless, I do hope to see more of Karel Zemanu0026#39;s work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e*Similarly, the original Japanese release of u0026quot;Godzillau0026quot; didnu0026#39;t feature Raymond Burru0026#39;s character.”
