Kooky's face is lacking facial expression.
Kooky's puppet is 21 cm tall it was manufactured in 18 versions for the purpose of filming all the technically complicated scenes. The other puppet characters are supposed to recall forest creatures rather than toys. Kooky (voiced by Ondřej Svěrák) is a stuffed teddy bear, the only fictional character in the film connected with the "human world".
#BOTANICULA SNAIL MOVIE#
The movie was also available as part of the Humble Botanicula Debut. It was planned for 35 days but difficulties extended the duration of the shoot to 100 days. Kooky was shot at various locations in the Czech Republic: the winter scenes were filmed at Ještěd, the forest background was shot near to Bechyně and in the National Nature Reserve Voděradské bučiny, and the scenes containing sandstone rocks were filmed in Drábské světničky. In addition to fictional puppet figures, the film makes use of real animals ( fox, butterfly, snail, frog etc.) Kooky is technically the most complicated film by Svěrák it contains three times more visual effects than Dark Blue World, the most expensive Czech film up to that point. During the post-production process, Svěrák and his team concentrated on removing the strings and wires with the help of computer animation. The puppets in the film were manipulated by the members of the ensemble Buchty a loutky. Svěrák offered collaboration on the technical development of puppets and visual effects to Jakub Dvorský from the video game company Amanita Design. The film was inspired by the works of the Czech sculptor and painter František Skála, who refused to participate in the production.
