Panic in the village – coming to Croatian cinemas on 14 October
11.10.2010.
On Thursday, 14 October 2010, distributed by Hulahop company, Croatian cinemas will host the feature animated film Panic in the Village, which already thrilled the Zagreb audience at the last year’s edition of the Animafest Zagreb. The authors, Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar, are renowned European animators. Their films are filled with imagination and energy, twisted internal logics and a dose of Belgian surrealism. This quirky stop motion animation is no exception. Panic in the Village is based on a cult Belgian animated TV series, made by Aardman Studio, the creators of the popular Wallace & Gromit. The main characters are three plastic toys by the name of Cowboy, Indian and Horse, which live together in a rundown house in the countryside, in a village always bursting with unusual events. Panic is truly a constituent part of life in their laminsted world.

“Some films are made for children. However, Panic in the Village seems as though it was made by children – funny, eccentric and magically talented children. It depicts those lazy childhood days when we were lying in bed ill and marching our soldiers and plush toys on the soft hillsides of our blankets and imaginary battlefields,” says one of the numerous positive reviews of this film. The Croatian audience will have an opportunity to verify these claims on Thursday at the Movieplex cinema in Zagreb and Valli cinema in Pula, and later in other Croatian cities: Rijeka, Split and Osijek.
