Kooky, the newest film by Oscar-winning Czech director Jan Svěrák, had a successful premiere in Prague on June 20th, shortly before the film's general release in the Czech Republic.

Kooky was first shown to an international audience on July 3rd at the Karlovy Vary film festival, where it screened as part of the main competition line-up.

Featuring both live action and puppetry sequences, Kooky is an enjoyable adventure for both children and adults. The film tells the story of a boy who imagines that his favorite toy, a red teddy bear named Kooky, embarks on a courageous journey home after being thrown out by the boy's mother.

About

When asthmatic, six-year-old ONDRA is forced to throw away his scruffy, sawdust-stuffed old teddy bear, KOOKY, he prays for the safe return of his furry friend. Soon afterwards, across town, Kooky is about to be crushed in a rubbish dump when he suddenly comes to life, making his escape into a mysterious forest. The naïve, cuddly Kooky needs help to survive amongst the rough-and-ready creatures of the forest and he finds it when he meets the crotchety forest guardian HERGOT. Hergot is in charge of watching over the forest, but he has his enemies too – the malevolent NIGHTSHADE plans to take over the forest, by proving that the short-sighted but good-hearted Hergot is not up to the job of guardian.

Using puppetry and live action, Kooky is both an inventive, thrilling family adventure and a celebration of the childhood imagination.
