Plot summary


It's amazing what Jan Sverák(Kolya) and his team have achieved here with the simplest of means. Cutting between live actors and a real forest alive with puppet and stick animation, Kooky tells of a small, red, sawdust-filled toy bear lost in a rather charming and exciting adventure fantasy. There were concerns that this new English-language version would lose some of the special flavour of the Czech, but Sverák has supervised an exemplary translation. With naturalistic cinematography and deliberately low-tech, labour-intensive puppet
animation, Kooky comes off like a cross between The Wind in the Willows and Jan Švankmajer's early work. It's a quasi-Animal Farm power struggle amongst gnarly forest flora and fauna at the same time as being a sweetly old-fashioned celebration of childhood imagination that adults will
thoroughly enjoy.

Six-year-old asthmatic Ondra (Ondrej Sverák, Jan's son) converses with his stuffed toys as if they were alive. After he reluctantly agrees to let his mother discard his favourite, Kooky, he begins to obsess over Kooky's fate. The puppet action begins as Ondra imagines Kooky escaping from a massive garbage dump, dotted with the broken remains of abandoned toys. Trying to
make his way home, Kooky is pursued by two twisted plastic bottles, and loses his way in a magical,as opposed to special effects-fake,forest full of mysterious creatures. Will Kooky make it home. With marvelously humorous dialogue and production design to take your breath away, Kooky truly is a cinematic fable for all ages.

Characters

Kooky (voiced by Ondřej Svěrák) is a stuffed teddy bear, the only fictional character in the film connected with the "human world". The other puppet characters are supposed to recall forest creatures rather than toys. Kooky's puppet is 21 cm tall; it was manufactured in 18 versions for the purpose of filming all the technically complicated scenes. Kooky's face is lacking facial
expression, the puppet is smiling constantly.


Captain von Hergot (voiced by Zdeněk Svěrák) is an old forest guardian who seeks to protect Kooky. The manufacturing of Hergot's puppet was complicated; Jakub Dvorský drew hundreds of sketches of the character. The final visual appearance of the puppet is similar to a root vegetable.

Nightshade (in Czech: Anuška, voiced by Jiří Macháček) is an antagonist fighting against Captain von Hergot, as he himself wants to become the forest guardian. The puppet has a big mouth and it likes to eat slugs. Nightshade is the only puppet character moving its mouth during speaking and swallowing.

Pytlík Vidlička (voiced by Petr Čtvrtníček) and Pytlík Zapík (voiced by Jiří Lábus) are the landfill guardians. They chase Kooky, who escaped from the landfill. The puppets are made of deformed plastic bottles.
