English Better connection between music and film than in the case of the film "Legend of St. Procopius". I like how Jiří Trnka knew that sometimes less is more, which is true for the words in this short animated film. There isn't much talking, but it doesn't matter because the animation speaks for itself. The puppets are somewhat more tolerable for me, but they still seem a bit potato-like. ()
