Cock-a-doodle-doo!
6.2
Based on themes from Latvian folk tales, Cock-a-doodle-doo! tells of how a rich man steals a magic mill from a poor farmer. Eventually the farmer wins back the mill with the help of two loyal friends – a dog and a rooster. The first stop-motion animation film by the Riga Motion Picture Studio, created by four professional puppeteers from the Latvian Puppet Theatre and directed by Arnolds Burovs. The film constituted a successful beginning for a stable and long-standing tradition and is evidence of the intuitive skills of the filmmaker required for stop-motion animation, namely, the ability to work with precision and economy of expression.
