Fimfarum 2 |
Čtyři zbrusu nové pohádky pro chytré děti a chytré dospělé z oblíbené knihy Jana Wericha. Klasik animovaného filmu Břetislav Pojar natočil slavný příběh maličkého Palečka, plný zvratů a dobrodružství o jeho cestě do světa a zase domů. Pod vedením Aurela Klimta ožijí tři navzájem si podobní hrbatí bratři. Hrbáči z Damašku přinášejí atmosféru exotického Blízkého východu s pestrostí orientálního vypravěčstvím, ale přitom o věcech nám všech dobře známých. Vlasta Pospíšilová ve Třech sestrách a prstenu vypráví vesnický dekameronský návod o tom, jak pro sázku o prstýnek zblbnout tři milující chotě. A Jan Balej dovolí bratrům Markovi a Koubovi prožít prastarý pohádkový příběh o kouzelném mlýnku, závisti, čertech s originálním vysvětlením jednoho přírodního úkazu v pohádce Moře, strýčku, proč je slané? |
