Editorial Reviews

In four decades Zagreb Film of Yugoslavia produced 600 animated films winning more than 400 international awards. The studio quickly became famous for a unique animation style that became known as "the Zagreb school." One of the pioneering distinctions was that its filmmakers wrote designed and directed their own films resulting in boldly entertaining cartoons unified in design tone and message. This volume includes Be Careful What You Wish For fourteen stories of irony double cross and mystery. Some are hilarious some poignant all memorable. The Classic Collection includes seven animated films representative of Zagreb's most unique offerings.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: MISCELLANEOUS/SPECIAL INTEREST UPC: 014381900224 Manufacturer No: ID9002ASDVD

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Stuff, August 20, 2006

This review is from: The Best of Zagreb Film: Be Careful What You Wish For/The Classic Collection (DVD)
This selection of Yugoslavian animation is enjoyable viewing. I noticed a review for one of the other collections gripes about this work not coming close enough to shows like "The Simpsons". This disc is not recommended for an audience expecting American TV animation. It is, however, potentially very interesting viewing for students of international animation and fillm.

4.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag from a great studio, September 26, 2011
This review is from: The Best of Zagreb Film: Be Careful What You Wish For/The Classic Collection (DVD)
There are some all time classics here like Ersatz, Diary and Fisheye but some are strange and even incomprehensible. All are fascinating to watch and beautifully designed. If you're looking for something outside the ordinary American cartoon, get this disk. Here is the film listing. Title year, director, and running time:

1 Big Time - 1990 - Milan Trenc - 6:00
2 Curiosity - 1966 - Borivoj Dovnikovic - 8:00
3 Musical Pig - 1966 - Zlatko Grgic - 9:00
4 Okay! - 1973 - Zlatko Pavlinic - 1:00
5 Elegy - 1966 - Nedelijko Dragic - 3:40
6 The Fifth One - 1965 - Pavao Stalter - 2:30
7 Prayer - 1972 - Radivoje Gvozdanovi - 1:00
8 The Wall - 1966 - Ante Zaninovic - 3:30
