A little more mainstream to sort of ease folks into this fascinating animation is the 1961-62 Tom and Jerry Cartoon episodes. This featured Czech cartoonist Gene Deitch and were produced in Czechoslovakia. They were weird and wonderful!
You were bound to land DIRECTLY into my collecting/archiving wheelhouse eventually.
Czech/Polish/Russian/Estonian...amazing stuff.

My favorite Czech animations is Pojďte pane, budeme si hrát , its about two bears and when i was small this was better than other new stuff! I really love how they shape shift and show dynamic between those bears. And i study in art school and animation with puppets is still big here. ♥
Yes,, I'm Slovak and same. It's a real classic + the humour is actually amazing (i still can't get over how one of them insulted the other by calling him a "skyscraper")
I remember in that cartoon an advert of voting for peace in one episode
Like discovering a whole new fantastic world to dive into
Lately i started watching videos like these to learn more about my culture. So thanks for this video about czech animation.
few other suggestions if you want to dig in a little deeper:
Jiří Barta (director/animator):
"Krysař / The Pied Piper" (1985)
"Golem" (1987)
"Klub odložených / The Club of the Laid Off" (1989)
Břetislav Pojar:
"Jabloňová panna / The Apple Tree Maiden" (1973)
"Romance z temnot / Nightangel" (1986)
Lubomír Beneš:
"Pat a Mat / Pat & Mat / A je to! / It's done" (1976 - 1994) series of shorts
Václav Bedřich:
"Velká sýrová loupež / Die große Käseverschwörung" (1986)
+ dozens of little shorts
Vlasta Pospíšilová, Aurel Klimt:
"Fimfárum Jana Wericha" (2002)
Jaroslav Doubrava:
"Mindrák / Hang-up" (1981)
"Imago" (1984)
Jiří Brdečka (was actually screenwriter and director and worked with different artists)
"Jsouc na řece mlynář jeden / There Was Once a Miller on the River" (1971)
"Do lesíčka na čekanou / The Forester's Song" (1966)
Oh wow, one where I can actually add something! I'm surprised you talked about Jan Švankmajer, but didn't mention Něco z Alenky! My introduction to Czech film (and surrealism), this remains a favorite that I rewatch over and over looking for new details to admire, such a (mildly disturbing) feast for the senses! Well, mostly eyes. And ears, a little.
Wonderful video, we had a bunch of these shorts airing in the 90's and 2000's here in Latin America. There's one I have been looking for since forever. Maybe you know about it. It's 2D animation, probably made on a chalkboard or with an airbrush, dark background and lighter colored lines. It starts with someone putting a little flowerpot in a greenhouse an leaving, inside there's a small human hand growing. the hand slowly gets bigger, and at some point becomes aware that there's an outer world, we see that the building is on a hill and across a valley there's another greenhouse with a female hand developing. They both reach for each other but barely manage to touch the glass. Time passes and the hand grows and grows, becoming a strong arm, he tears himself from the base, emerging as a blue male figure, the female hand does the same and emerges as a pink female figure, they break the glasses that separates them and run to finally meet, they encounter in the valley and embrace each other, fusing into a tree. The tree grows, buds are born from the branches and they flower into little colored hands. I saw it in the early 2000's, guessing it was made at least in the early 90's if not earlier.
Probably the most famous czech cartoon animations are these:
Pat & Mat
Maxipes Fík
Bob a Bobek
Jája a Pája
Pohádky z mechu a kapradí
Rákosníček
O loupežníku Rumcajsovi
Broučci
Maybe there is other but i think this is enough
Love Czech from Poland
We are such good neighbours
Fantastic look, thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this, as someone who grew up in Vietnam we didn't have access to more mainstream Western animation. And so I discovered the magic of Eastern European animation at a very early age. Unfortunately, while I rediscovered Jiri Trnka's earlier stuff, there's still some animations that elude me... most notably one about a drunk motorcycle-driver, a lighthouse keeper with a devil-like siren... and an overtly complicated stop motion sequence of someone decorating all the apartments of a building plan only to erase them and make them monotone at the end of the short film... anyways thanks alot for this post!
Thanks for making this video. I needed to do some research on Czech animation and this video helped me a lot. Thanks
Awesome video ! Love your channel 😵💫
Excellent work! Thank you.
The strange and surreal world of Czech animation 🎞🇨🇿.
Fantastic Planet gave me nightmares as a kid
Some wonderful stuff here. Michaela Pavlátová especially deserves to be much better known. We definitely have very similar tastes - your sleepcore videos remind me of the earnest vaporwave John Maus music videos I used to make before he was outed as a Trump supporter...
If you drop me an email or a message I'd be happy to send you a copy of my book 'The Art of Czech Animation', which might be up your street!
So you stopped liking an artist because he is right wing? Thats stupid, most of the artists i like are left wing, yet i love them anyway, i don't hate people because of their political preferences.
The narrator sounds like he's asking a series of questions, though he is in fact outlining a descriptive history. Uptalk triumphant.
Been really intrested in czech animation for a while, thank you so much. Heres a suggestion for a video, a video on japanese stop motion animator
kihachiro kawamoto
Very nice
Good as a nutshell video, but the Czechoslovak animation is overall way broader. Sadly, it's truly hard to find these things online, often impossible in better quality (they are usually destroyed by digitalisation). I applaud you for those Dodal films, they've been already forgotten by everybody! (I was looking for them, where did you get them?)
I would also advice you not to read Czech titles (unless you have no translation), the pronunciation is always different than you think. Especially longer names come out as a gibberish.
You can find them both here. Thanks for watching!

Thanks. A lot of new stuff to hunt for. Being born in the Netherlnds in 1961 I grew up on this stuff in spite of the cold war. Especially german television showed much eastern block stuff. Animation and Fairytale movies where indeed a big forte, probably because it could be artistic and creative without suffering too much from censorship. I am a very big Karl Zeman fan. Furthermore a wooden Mole figurine on a swing is actually hanging in our front window. It is however surprising you did not mention Svankmajers "Alice": ua-cam.com/video/gbxYIR9TLbQ/v-deo.html. A question: Did you already have a look at russian cineast Pawel Kluschanzew (Planeta Burg / Planet of storms, Doroga K Swjosdam / Road To The Stars, etc.)?
I had a feeling someone would call that out. It was honestly just omitted for the sake of brevity and I figured most are familiar with the story.
The closest to Klushantsev we’ve covered would be Vladimir Tarasov but I’m running low on retrofuturistic cartoons so that would be a great video to do. Thanks for watching!
@@picsnportraits It's a pleasure to inspire you. Also thanks for the (retrofuturist) Sleepcore stuff. It works!
@@picsnportraits do also
The wonderful world of Yugoslavian animation from zagreb film
We really enjoyed Fantastic Planet in the late '70s. It was so unlike anything we had seen before.
You forgot the short "Clockman", in which a 4Chan users have seeking to find the film based on a user's distant memory, but it technically was not "lost media".
I was kind of disappointed when he didn't mentioned it
I see Czech, i click.
Love from Slovakia!
Do u know an animation about guy drinking beer ( in 1 ep he was playing cards with Syrens) it was short about 5 min. I cant find it and I've been trying couple years now. I watched it around 2000-2005 +- it had just couple episodes as far as i can remember
You to mention the Clock man AKA Sally
I just mentioned that.
Dagmar Doubkova is underrated. I just noticed, Czech animation has a lot of women animators. I find that refreshing for some reason.
Maybe someone can help me find a cartoon. I do not know whether the cartoon is Czech or from another Eastern European country. You know the Croatian cartoon "The Elm Chanted Forest"? It copies Disney animations and has a story about a human painter whose name is Slikar Paleta (Painter Palette in English). But I saw another cartoon from Eastern Europe in my childhood where the main human character looks exactly like that Slikar Paleta except he is interacting with space aliens. Like he teaches them about painting or something. Does anyone know where to find that cartoon? It also has very catchy electronic music.
I really like this video, it's very interesting. Maybe you could do one about East German animation.
In the 80s I saw a Czech animated short on TV which was about an idyllic rural village populated by children which was ruined by the arrival of a con-man who introduced them to modern industrialisation. I'd like to track it down as its been bugging me for years, any suggestions?
This person that affected me so much, I could not tell you for certain if they are, presently alive or dead. If they died in a very bizarre manner, I am not to be surprised.
Hello Zoe
I love Pat and Mat.
me too
It is shame you did not mention the trilogy movie adaptations of Fimfárum and the less successful attempt at CGI animation in the form of Goat Story.
Krecik the Polish nieam for the mole
Clockman looks so much less scary
Can you talk about German Animation?
And fun Polish fakt som Polish and Czech ar stil ering on tv
You have bad English (unlike me)
Your pronouciation od czech was terrible, but I don't mind, because from the informative and artistic side you made splendid job.
I love your videos but I think you chuckle too much... it feels forced
