Abstract

Jiří Brdečka is a reference in the world of animation. Along with Jiří Trnka and Břetislav Pojar, his name shines in the gallery of the best Czech animators ever. This article analyses his main films and provides information of this unique artist. Today, ignorance, lack of film copies, lack of a unique visual style that remained in the audience’s memory have made of Jiří Brdečka, for the young generations, a deserted genius. “Deserted” is a transitory state. “Genius” is permanent. Inescapably, a genius is rediscovered. Let’s just be patient.
