    The Treasure of Bird Island (Czech: Poklad ptačího ostrova) is a 1953 Czechoslovak animated film directed by Karel Zeman in his feature length debut.

    The film, based on a Persian fairy tale, was Zeman's first feature-length work.[1] The soundtrack includes verses by František Hrubín, read by children, as well as an original film scorebyZdeněk Liška.[1]

    The film's style is an experiment in combining two- and three-dimensional animation,[2] including hand-drawn backgrounds and figures animated in relief.[1] The production design is based on the traditional manuscript-illustration style of Persian miniatures.[3]
