“By making a score to the film Kooky I accepted a challenge to return as an adult to the magical world of children’s fairy tales through music. It was all about unusual mixture of classical symphonic orchestra with traditional Czech folk instruments and elements of electronic music." Michal Novinski (composer) "Kuky se vrací is light on story, but high on whimsy: the puppet-animated forest scenes, featuring a delightfully surreal mix of creatures seemingly cobbled together from throwaway objects, are a lot of fun. Despite a simplistic narrative, the film never wears out its welcome. Best of all (maybe): the wonderful original score by Michal Novinski (it reminds heavily of a classic Hollywood adventure tune, but I can´t quite put my finger on it, with a bit of a Goran Bregović beat). Novinski deservedly won a Czech Lion for his work..." (movie review by Jason Pirodsky)
