English Czechs have understood the magic of Westerns, but they have actually made very few of them. Jiří Trnka beautifully - even in puppet form - presents the Wild West, which comes to life in his rendition, with beauties, villains, honorable men, and stunning landscapes. A truly captivating view of how a Western can look in animated form. ()
