Plots(1)

The first animated film on which Jiří Šalamoun worked as a graphic artist was an adaptation of a story by A. P. Chekhov. A stray dog is taken in by a circus artist who teaches him various tricks. But its original owners recognize the dog during a performance, putting an end to its career. In collaboration with director Václav Bedřich, Jiří Šalamoun was preparing a parody on an American detective story, but another dog came barking. (Anifilm)
