Synopsis
The unruly children from a small village set out to find Muca Copatarica, who took away their carelessly scattered slippers the previous night.
In the idyllic Small Village live happy and lively children. At night before bed, they carelessly take off their slippers and throw them around the room. To their great surprise, the footwear disappears by morning. At first, they search the house unsuccessfully, then their parents tell them that the cat took them. They can only run outside when it is warm enough so that their bare feet don't get cold. When they finally gather, they decide to find Muca Copatarica and ask her for their slippers. They set off into the forest. Muca Copatarica welcomes them kindly and gives them their mended and cleaned slippers, and the children promise her that they will take better care of them from now on.

My vision for the animated 'Muca Copatarica' relies on the original literary work's rhythm, atmosphere, and tonality, incorporating its narrative and artistic essence. The fairy tale, recognized instantly by sentences and Ančka Gošnik Godec's illustrations, must be embraced with warmth and sincerity in the animated adaptation through modern media. The animated film won't blindly follow the original's narrative logic but will breathe with its own creativity, adapting for dramaturgical reasons and seizing opportunities from the animation medium. The story will primarily express itself visually, expanding Muca Copatarica's world and bringing it to life through movement. Both the image and rhythm of animation are crucial, along with a sonic approach to the fairy tale. Muca Copatarica's radio play adaptation by Irena Glonar and Boris A. Novak serves as a foundation for shaping sound and musical quotes, confidently capturing Copatarica's unique iconography. Technologically, we'll blend traditional and modern practices, using two and three-dimensional approaches for flexibility. With extensive experience, I understand the aesthetic and content implications of technologies, ensuring the film retains the organic touch of human creation, preserving the warmth and sincerity of the original fairy tale.

Ikonična in priljubljena zgodba o Muci Copatarici je znana mladim in starim, tako v Sloveniji, kot v bližnji okolici. Že mnoge generacije uči pospravljanja in spoštovanja lastnine. Čeprav je animirani film nadgradnja slikanice, se avtorji ne nameravajo preveč oddaljiti od izvirnika, tako po vsebinski kot vizualni podobi, kar je za slovensko publiko (predvsem predšolske otroke in družine), navezano na njeno klasično podobo, dobra odločitev. Projekt ima predvidene realne produkcijske okvire, morda bi bilo koristno razmisliti o povezovanju s hrvaško industrijo in trgom že v fazi realizacije projekta, ker ima slikanica tudi tam visoko stopnjo prepoznavnosti. Oddani materiali ustrezajo ciljem in namenom razpisa, ustrezna višina ocen po posameznih kategorijah pa omogoča predlog komisije za sofinanciranje projekta.
