The Treasure of Bird Island ( Czech: Poklad ptačího ostrova) is a 1953 Czechoslovak animated film directed by Karel Zeman in his feature length debut.
The film, based on a Persian fairy tale, was Zeman's first feature-length work. [1] The soundtrack includes verses by František Hrubín, read by children, as well as an original film score by Zdeněk Liška. [1]
The film's style is an experiment in combining two- and three-dimensional animation, [2] including hand-drawn backgrounds and figures animated in relief. [1] The production design is based on the traditional manuscript-illustration style of Persian miniatures. [3]
