The Czech Year (Czech title: Špalíček), also called A Treasury of Fairy-Tales, is a 1947 stop-motion-animated puppet feature film from Czechoslovakia.[1] It was the first feature film directed by Jiří Trnka, and it proceeded to win several international awards and make his name famous in the animation world.
The traditional customs and tales of a Czech village are depicted in six separate sequences: "Shrovetide", "Spring", "Legend About St. Prokop", "The Fair", "The Feast" and "Bethlehem".
