The stage: a table in the front yard. The characters: animated sewing supplies that jump out of the basket and take on various human or animal characteristics. Two balls of yarn change their shape into characters, the pink ball becomes a girl and the blue becomes a boy. The woolly boy plays a needle (flute) to lure the cobra (the tailor's measuring tape), then fights against it, sitting on a horse (needle) and holding a knight's spear in his "hand" (a needle again), uses a needle as a jumping pole, etc. etc. The animation of the self-taught Týrlová is incredible and in terms of difficulty it’s on par with the animated glass figures in Zeman's Inspiration. It’s a shame that it’s so short (8 min.). (2008.12.01)
