people consider Jiri Trnka the greatest puppet animator the world has ever seen. 
This Czech master continues to astound audiences, particularly those not 
familiar with his work. In 1966, four years before his death, Newsday lauded him 
as "second to Chaplin as a film artist because his work inaugurated a new stage 
in a medium long dominated by Disney." This English version of Trnka's The Emperor's Nightingale, featuring narration 
by Boris Karloff, has been digitally remastered. It is a puppet animation 
classic based on the Hans Christian Anderson story about how the song of a 
simple nightingale teaches an Emperor to revolt against the rigid protocol of 
his glittering but shallow world. The Washington Post called it "a lost classic 
happily found again." Wired magazine calls it "one of the most stunningly 
beautiful animated films ever released"; a "masterpiece of filmmaking and a 
production that elevates the art form to new heights." ».
