Synopsis
The Treasure of Bird Island is a charming feature-length puppet film by Karel Zeman that tells a story adapted for young minds, blending simplicity with humor. The film follows the inhabitants of a remote island who, upon discovering a treasure, cease working and fall into conflict. It’s only after losing the treasure that they rediscover the joy and fulfillment in their daily labor, learning that true happiness comes not from riches but from meaningful work. František Hrubín’s poetic narration adds a whimsical touch to the visually captivating film, which won an award at the 1952 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival for its innovative and educational approach to storytelling through puppetry.
