Plot Summary
When asthmatic, six-year-old ONDRA is forced to throw away his scruffy, sawdust-stuffed old teddy bear, KOOKY, he prays for the safe return of his furry friend. Soon afterwards, across town, Kooky is about to be crushed in a rubbish dump when he suddenly comes to life, making his escape into a mysterious forest. The naïve, cuddly Kooky needs help to survive amongst the rough-and-ready creatures of the forest and he finds it when he meets the crotchety forest guardian HERGOT. Hergot is in charge of watching over the forest, but he has his enemies too – the malevolent NIGHTSHADE plans to take over the forest, by proving that the short-sighted but good-hearted Hergot is not up to the job of guardian. Using puppetry and live action, Kooky is both an inventive, thrilling family adventure and a celebration of the childhood imagination.

Kooky
What a beautifully crafted movie telling the story of childhood imagination and devotion! We've been long-time fans of the works from the team at Amanita Design. It was so fun to see their creative characters come to life! We've been reading the e-book together and anxiously awaiting this English version of the movie to come out. This story will not disappoint! The use of nature and creative cinematography in the film was stunning and beautiful. Clearly it took incredible patience to develop this movie using all the live creatures and changes in weather. The scenes with the wild boars was particularly fun and we loved the sassy mushrooms and the Moldy Bread Gang! Beyond the story itself, the characters are brought to life with an imaginative soundtrack and well-matched voices. This movie will leave you wiping away a tear as you wonder what's next for Kooky, the Captain and their friends. Thank you for continued works, you are all so very talented.
Absolutely Wonderful!!!
I'm so glad that my family and I discovered this movie! It's so beautifully done; really a joy to watch. My three year old loved it so much that he is now running around the house looking for 'his' Kooky. I think I'll have to sew him one! This is really a wonderful adventure to take with little kids.
Weird and Wonderful
