The Hurvinek Circus

1955 · 22 min

A gentle, playful puppet-animation daydream that turns a child's disappointment into a charming little circus fantasy.

Overview
Hurvinek cannot go to a circus because he injured himself when sliding down the stair rail. He daydreams that he is an acrobat riding a scooter and an animal-trainer taming beasts. (MUBI)
