Jan Svěrak’s new, animated film premieres in Prague

Kooky, the newest film by Oscar-winning Czech director Jan Svěrák, gets its premiere in Prague on Wednesday night. In early July, the feature film will have its international premiere at the Karlovy Vary film festival, where it will be taking part in the main competition. Kooky features puppet sequences and should be enjoyable not only to children, according to the director, who is best known for Kolja. Kooky tells the story of a boy who imagines that his favorite toy, a red teddy bear named Kooky, goes on an adventurous journey after being tossed out by the boy’s mother. The movie goes on general release in the Czech Republic on Thursday.
