A version of the Baron's tall tales from the great, underrated Karel Zeman. Zeman's dizzying blend of live-action, animation and cutouts and deadpan absurdism is perfect, resulting in the best Baron Munchausen film to date

I have raved elsewhere about Czech director Karel Zeman and his amazing blends of live-action and animation. This, his adaptation of a lesser-known Jules Verne work, is not quite up there with his earlier films but is an enjoyably colourful knockabout adventure

If you don't know who Karel Zeman is, you need to check out his films - he is quite one of the most extraordinary directors in his blend of live-action and animation. Zeman's later films are pure animation and tend to be overlooked but are not uninteresting.
