The Best of Bulgarian Animation [2000]

The studio's films have won many awards and prizes, and its bi-annual World Animation Film Festival in Varna solidified Bulgaria as an international animation center. Like Zagreb, the Sofia Animation Studio carved its own unique niche with an original graphic style and quirky storytelling. Fascinating and innovative, these short animated films each have a unique look, a feel for dark comedy, and are all appropriate for children.

Included in the compilation are:

1. Baby Dreams at the Airport (1988), directed by Pencho Kunchev
2. Baby Dreams at the Automobile Factory (1990), directed by Vladimir Malik
Two episodes in the wild 12-part series by the Sofia Animation Studio’s Pencho Kunchev, featuring a mischievous baby who embarks on death-defying adventures in the world of adults. Anything goes as one image morphs into another, with the baby always emerging miraculously unscathed.

3. De Facto (1973), directed by Donyo Donev
The creator of "The Three Fools" series, Donyo Donev specialises in exposing human stupidity. Here the collapse of a newly built house propmpts a search for a scapegoat by the town leaders.

4. Three Fools and the Automobile (1973), directed by Anton Trayanov
5. Three Fools and the Hat, directed by Anton Trayanov
6. Three Fools and the Tent, directed by Anton Trayanov
7. Three Fools and the Hammer Throw, directed by Anton Trayanov
Sofia’s most comical creation, these well-meaning blockheads are equal parts Laurel & Hardy, Three Stooges, and Dumb and Dumber. Here is a selection from their zaniest exploits.

8. Beach, directed by Radka Batchkarova
In great visual style, Radka Batchkarova tells the story of frogs battling ducks over a beautiful beach.

9. Caw!, directed by Stoyan Dukov
Stoyan Dukov’s simple tale of a persistent interloper – a crow - who insists on joining a choral group.

10. Left, Right … (director unknown)
A young bird literally cannot follow the rules as he marches to a different drummer.

11. The Intelligent Village (1972), directed by Donyo Donev
In another gem from Donyo Donev, a medieval town is overrun by snakes. The town elders shrewdly solve that problem only to create another!
