One Night in One City

I really like animated films and I appreciate their well-crafted visual side, and for this reason alone, One Night in a City receives a 55% overall impression from me, because someone who is not a fan of animation can safely deduct 20-30%. It's neither fresh nor original at all, the dramaturgy failed and it's visible that there was probably no screenplay. The film simply falls apart, and I agree with most reviews that only the story about Ploutviček and Větvička is functional, while the rest consists of visually impressive images with well-made puppets, but they lack a meaningful point and atmosphere. The animation is on the level of a Czech bedtime story Doings of the Hippopotamus Family by the same director. That means it's adequate but not captivating. I simply didn't have the feeling that I should revisit this film in the future... (05/05/2009)

This film has an interesting animation. Actually, very good animation. And I don't know what else to say about it because this is just like an exercise where the creators thought it would be really cool if it was without words, but in reality, it didn't have anything to say. There could be so much more to be gained from this, in my opinion. If you're going to animate, make it meaningful. (19/05/2016)
