Půjde to

About This Movie

So, 'Půjde to' from 1950 is a curious piece of animation that feels like a blend of whimsy and social commentary. The puppets, yearning for independence, really give off a vibe of both hope and existential angst, which is quite fascinating. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that actually works in its favor, allowing moments to breathe—especially scenes where they’re grappling with their desires to craft their own legs. The practical effects are simple yet effective, giving a tactile quality that you just don’t find in a lot of modern animation. It’s not every day you come across a film that tackles self-sufficiency and autonomy through puppetry, and that uniqueness is worth noting for any serious collection.

Půjde to has had a limited release history, which contributes to its scarcity in collector circles. Original prints are notably hard to find, and even the later reissues are seldom encountered. Interest among collectors is growing, particularly due to its unique themes and animation style, making it a distinct piece of mid-century cinema. The film's peculiar premise and execution lend it an almost cult status among enthusiasts of vintage animation.
