De Krekel 4+

Zdenek Miler / CSHH, 1979 / 40 min.

The Cricket is beautiful animation from the filmmaker who created the Little Mole. The cricket plays a virtuoso violin, the cellos of the bees produce colourful sounds and the dung beetles conjure up tunes from their tuba.

The Cricket is a series of six musical animations. All the animals make music. The cricket plays a virtuoso violin, the cellos of the bees produce colourful sounds and the dung beetles conjure up tunes from their tuba. The voracious aphids do not realise that their sawtooths are actually fantastic musical instruments, and the ladybirds also join in this special concert!
