02
The Fabulous World of Jules Verne
Why this pick
Its engraved, storybook world turns Jules Verne-style adventure into meticulously designed cinematic fantasy—playful, tactile, and continually surprising in its imagery.
03
The Jester's Tale
Why this pick
A witty historical fantasia rendered through etched visual textures, mixing swashbuckling momentum, theatrical artifice, and Zeman’s singular handmade spectacle.
04
The Pied Piper
Why this pick
For the darker side of handcrafted fantasy: expressive stop-motion puppets and stark medieval design create a fable that feels tactile, strange, and visually authored.
05
Alice
Why this pick
Its unsettlingly physical dream logic and ingenious object animation offer a more macabre cousin to Zeman’s imagination, where familiar fantasy becomes wonderfully uncanny.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film begins with footsteps leading to a pond. The camera continually moves upwards to show the flight of butterflies, birds, and a progression of historical aircraft ending with a rocket ship travelling through space and landing on the moon.
