Kooky is a 2010 Czech action comedy film directed by Jan Svěrák. The film combines techniques of puppet animation,stop motion and live action. It tells the story of a six-year-old boy whose parents force him to throw away his favorite toy, an old teddy bear named Kooky who comes to life in the landfill, escapes into a mysterious forest and begins its journey amongst the rough-and-ready creatures of the forest. All puppets and props were designed by Jakub Dvorský.”
I posted about this a long time ago and after finally seeing a full trailer, wow. Must see.

Love the animation and the simple soundtrack.
“We’ve seen some great animation in the recent past, but damn. The Czech film Kuky Returns looks like a wonderful blend of Spike Jonze, Jan Svankmajer, the Muppets and probably a couple others. (Such as the video game Little Big Planet, even.) But despite all those influences at play, it also looks very much like its own thing.
Kuky Returns is the story of a boy six Ondra, who suffers from asthma, and so on “health reasons” must be off his favorite toy - a pink bear kuky. When mom Kukyho throw in the trash, it will work Ondrová fantasy in which experienced Kukyho adventure in an unknown natural world. It’s really just a dream a little boy or kuky actually went to the biggest adventure of his plush life
Kuky Returns is an adventure, a poetic family story in which the main role, however, take the heroes of children’s fantasy worldwhere the only heroes are the puppets. “I thought then change the scale and place the story directly into the microcosm, his protagonists make small enough that the roots of the tree decorations, light in the atmosphere made raspberry leaves, fuzz was all the props and extras natural insects,” says Jan Sverak, who is also the author scenarios and as with most of his recent films also the producer.”
Very, very interested in this. I love to see this style making a comeback.
