Many generations of Czech (and previously Czechoslovak) children grew up reading the popular comic book The Lucky Four (Čtyřlístek). The adventures of the four animal friends began in 1969 and they have been published continuously ever since, which means that in 2019, the Lucky Four celebrate their 50th birthday. On the occasion of this remarkable anniversary (remarkable also because the printed version of The Lucky Four has kept the same style for the entire time and also survived the Velvet Revolution as well as the onset of digital media), Michal Žabka made a feature anthology film. In it, our heroes sit by a campfire and recount the adventures they had during the last year. Each of them tells the story they find the best, whether it was a climb to the Devil’s Thumb, the search for a vicious werewolf, a fantastic voyage into space or a Christmas visit of little imps. Renowned director Michal Žabka has already made a feature adaptation of this comic book – Lucky Four Serving the King was his 2013 feature debut, but this time, he is more consistent in adhering to the comic’s original style so the film seems more authentic to the audiences who know the original.

I like that this time the film starring Lucky Four is a short story. By the end I was in a nice Christmas mood, but unfortunately, the premiere was in April ;) A bit of an understatement is the selection of trailers for really professional animated films, which are in a completely different league. So anything from Toy Story 4 to Ugly Dolls is greatly overshadowed by the 2nd film based on Jaroslav Němeček's "Great Adventure of the Lucky Four." However, the afternoon performances are full, the kids are excited, and the parents pay for whole groups of little ones and their snacks, so it must make sense to someone. I'm sorry to say that the current Lucky Four is no longer for the whole family. And even though the annoying PP from the first film hasn't returned, the stories are once again educational. Will there be a next time?
