English A better connection between music and film than in the case of the film Legend About St. Prokop. I like how Jiří Trnka knew that less is sometimes more, which applies to words in this short animated film. There's not much talking here, but that's okay because the animation itself says enough. The puppets are a bit more tolerable for me, but they still seem somewhat potato-like. ()
