A Thousand and One Nights
1974 · Movie · 88 min. · Czechoslovakia
Zeman directed a series of shorts for children about the adventures of Sinbad the Sailor, told in exquisitely simple, multi-colored cut-out animation that resembles the jungle fantasies of painter Henri Rousseau. Filled with typically whimsical Zeman touches - a parrot who walks on stilts, a sack that spews an endless mountain of gold coins - these episodes contain some of Zeman's finest work as storyteller and animator.
