Will we ever get a chance to see the movie out of Czech Republic (with subtitles maybe)?
I really wish I could.

Title: More Kuky se vrací details emerge
Post by: ABoretz on April 09, 2010, 08:53:23 pm
On this site (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/04/08/kookys-return-trailer-this-time-with-subtitles-and-english-language-website/) "A guy from the Czech Republic" wrote the following about the voiceover during the Kuky se vrací trailer:

"Voiceover during regular trailers is not common in the Czech Republic, but there is one here because of two things:
1. It's a film for children and they enjoy narration
2. The voiceover is done by Zdeněk Svěrák (the director's father), who used to work on a TV program for children, and has a great narrating voice

And by the way, the subtitles are just a basic translation, the Czech original is much more poetic, hence even more enjoyable."

People in lab coats will always look suspicious, even if they are holding puppets.

Two weeks ago I made a short trip to the czech republic with my grandparents. They wanted to show me where they once lived (near Liberec) before they had to leave the country after WWII. We've also visited Prague and there where large Kuky advertising posters all over the place.  :) I really had to see the movie but unfortunately we didn't had enough time and my grandparents where more interested in visiting old buildings than watching a movie about a teddy bear.  ;D So I've decided to come back just to see the movie. We drove back to Germany and two days later I came back to Liberec (all in all an 8 hours trip) to see the movie. I didn't understand a single word but still it wasn't a problem to follow the story. My rating? Absolutely brilliant! This movie is a real masterpiece. The puppets design is awesome (especially Hergot and Nightshade) and so are the animations. I do hope they will release it in other countrys too because I want to see it again. At least put some subtitles on the DVD release.

One more thing: where can I get the soundtrack??? At the official website kukysevraci.cz theres a link to this shop: http://obchod.sverak.cz/shop.php but they only ship to Czech republic and Slovakia. At the officail englisch website: http://www.kukysevraci.cz/en/index.html therse only the Info: "Kooky's shop: The soundtrack, T-shirts and books about Kooky's adventures will be coming soon.". Coming soon....  :(  When I was in the czech republic I spend half a day to find the soundtrack CD but it was really strange. They have lots of big electronic stores where you can buy everything: games, DVDs, computers, TVs and so on...but no music. Allways the same wherever I looked.

So could someone from the czech republic here please tell me where I could buy this soundtrack CD?

How did I miss all this! So it's never going to come to theaters outside of Czech republic?
Well, I'm most eager to enjoy it for myself in November :)

You can get Kuky se Vrací from http://czechsouvenirs.com/ of all places. My girlfriend somehow found this out and got it for me for Christmas!

They ship outside of Czech republic (we live in Denmark). The store doesn't let you pay with credit card, but you can use PayPal or do a old fashioned bank transfer.

The movie is in Czech with optional English subtitles. The text on the DVD case is in Czech. Regrettably the extra material is not subtitled (like the long "The Making of..." feature). Some of it, like storyboard and concept art, doesn't need translation though.

The movie is as wonderful as it looks in the trailers. Highly recommendable!

Does anyone know if Tomas Dvorak did the music for Kooky?  I'm still totally addicted to the Machinarium soundtrack and I sure would love to know there's more on the horizon.

He did not, nope.

I'm still totally addicted to the Machinarium soundtrack and I sure would love to know there's more on the horizon.

Well, in case you weren't aware, Tomas (aka Floex) also composed the soundtrack for Samorost2 (http://amanita-design.net/samorost-2/), which is another game by Amanita Design.
(There are links to purchase the game + soundtrack at the bottom of that page. Or you can buy the soundtrack separately on iTunes.)

He also has an album entitled Pocustone, which can be purchased on iTunes.

And here's the link to Tomas's official site:

I am waiting for the English version of Kuky se vrací. I know it is going to be released for worldwide acquisition at the forthcoming Berlin Film Festival Market. But have a question.

Will it be released as a Bluray/DVD combo? I know for many it is more convenient to buy either the DVD only or the Bluray, but I prefer to have them both in one package.

I saw the english trailer of Kooky and it ws really awesome. The music, the action everything was amazing. I also seen the 'behind the scenes' videos and I saw a lot of hard work there.

Good luck and please release it as soon as you can :)

Soon (http://machinarium.net/forum/index.php/topic,2026.msg7557.html#msg7557).


Update (December 2011):
The new English dub as well as the original subtitled version are available via Jan Svěrák’s eBAY store "biografjs (http://myworld.ebay.com/biografjs/)".  
On a personal note: I have ordered several items from this source and was amazed how quickly and safely they traveled from the Czech Republic to the U.S.!

The English dubbed DVD seems to have vanished from the internet! A lot of dead links and closed shops!

Any news? What's the situation? I'm quite confused now....

Yeah, it seems that way.
You might want to attempt to contact biografjs on eBay and ask him if he has any more for sale.
