Young Ondra has asthma and so his parents throw away his favourite toy: a musty old stuffed bear named Kooky. That night Ondra dreams that Kooky is determined to find his way back home from the dump. In the boy's fantasy, the bear gets lost in a forest occupied by strange animals and remarkable beings that he never heard of while living on the toy shelf in Ondra's room. And of course even in this small imaginary world, true good exists as does real evil, which Kooky must face up to in order to become a real hero.

cutest darn thing i've ever seen. a little slow in parts but had immense charm. the vibes are dark and nostalgic. i love how the puppets get dirty and have bugs start crawling on them in shots, it really just feels like playing with toys outside as a kid. this is a gem
