Really how I need to know why after watching it twice I still don't know what the actual happened. I will watch it a third to be sure. Overall though it will hold your attention as you sit there horrified by it but also at the same time laughing your ass off. The sheer incomprehensible nature of this MASTERPIECE is magnificent. Also A+ acting
I saw this title in a movie theater, when it came out, back in 1982. Nothing compares to the experience of seeing this. Kubrick meets Lynch in a cartoon, sort of thing. Inspired by the eternal story "Treasure Island" by Robert Louis Stevenson, this movie takes a different approach and goes on its own adventure with a mix of fun, avant-garde and epic proportions, rare for this time. Not to be confused with Disney's take on the same book with the same title from 2002, which is exactly 20 years later. Is it coincidence? Who knows, but the Bulgarian movie is still epic, funny and avant-garde even today in 2019. Directed by the famous Rumen Petkov, who later moved to USA to work for Cartoon Network, to direct episodes of "Johnny Bravo", "Cow and Chicken", "Dexter's Laboratory" and more, this cartoon demonstrates enormous talent and out-of-the-box approach to a classic story. The movie effects for the time being were and still great. There are very trippy both visual and sound effects. The plot unfolds steadily one frame at a time. I saw this movie again on my laptop recently and it still gives me goosebumps. A must-see for all sci-fi and weird movie fans!!
I mean, what more can I say? I've never been prouder to be Bulgarian.
Pozna, pechelish duvka.
Just-... Just, beautiful writing, I LOL-ed (laugh out loud-ed) multiple times throughout its runtime.
Truly life changing
Humour was as dry as as a British cracker and I loved the sometimes awful and awkward delivery of the actors. The sofiiskoto metro jokes were at the same time extremely meta and yet deeply unnerving.
A true masterpiece, that way was ahead of its time and thus it was unappreciated by the general public. I am more than pleased to see that more and more people nowadays are recognising it for the work of art that it is.
Anyway, I have to chase away a fly from my sandwich now. Have a nice day 😊

I saw this movie twice in the mid 80s and I still can't get over how fascinating, touching and profoundly deep it was (excuse the tautology, but it is). It can definitely hold a child's interest (I was one) but it's not really a cartoon meant for kids. The ending and the overall atmosphere haunt me to this day, to some degree thanks to the soundtrack which is out-worldly. Rumen Petkov's style (which is rather peculiar) definitely adds to that. It's a shame the movie hasn't been shown in Bulgaria for years, it's a shame there's no way to obtain a copy, and it's definitely a shame people worldwide associate the title with Disney's "Treasure Planet" (which, compared to its predecessor is, to say the least, silly). Not that they ever had much choice.
I saw this cartoon when i was 4,i believe.The style of animation and especially the end of the cartoon has stuck into my memory until today.Its is rather peculiar cartoon that can be seen by kids,but it has a serious thematic and interesting,maybe a bit disturbing end.Disneys "Treasure Planet" from 2002 is just silly and dumbed down compared to this tittle.Who knows,Disney is well known for his original story rip-offs,so i do wonder if someone from D. saw this or stumbled upon it on the internet and decide to much out the idea.If yo can find this somewhere to download,i think you will be surprised in therms of story and atmosphere this cartoon brings.yes,the animation is a bit...strange,but still,this is a '80 cartoon from a Balkan country :)
