Animated blockbusters from last year

As in past years, Anifilm will again assess the state of contemporary animated film by presenting the most popular and most interesting animated features to be shown in Czech cinemas last year. The films will be screened on Masaryk Square and on the “Svět” pond after dusk. This year’s films include Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie as well as the lesser known The Suicide Shop (based on a book by Jean Teulé), which tells the story of a peculiar shop- keeping family whose youngest child – against all the “rules” of running a store for suicides and people who have lost all hope – is an indefatigable optimist. Other films on the program include Madagascar 3, ParaNorman, The Pirates! Band of Misfits and the Oscar-winning Brave.
