In the middle of the night, all the toys in a child's bedroom come to life to participate in a dazzling show, each doing what it does best. Topping the bill is the clown's "dialogue" with toy bricks on a tightrope, probably one of the most inventive animation etudes ever created. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)

English Although the storyline loses its way in the script, the animation is excellent, and the film is characterized by pleasant, dreamy poetics. Overall impression: 85%. ()
