Animation within animation: seeking answers about the narrated portion of Otesánek (Little Otik by Jan Švankmajer)
While the stop motion and unusual puppetry is so prevalent in his work and what drew me to Alice and Faust, I more so wanted to throw this out into the world and ask if anyone was familiar with the artist who animated the narrated portion of the film. In this portion, Alžbětka reads out the traditional/source fairytale that inspired the story, snippets are seen (the last two images attached) and the style is so painterly and beautiful! I don't know if they are paper puppets, or frame by frame, but I am desperate to find out the name of the artist or find the whole thing in sequence. Just eager to know anything at all as seeking it online has not revealed much so far unfortunately!
