Unfinished film.
A cartoon film about a postman named Kolbaba, post office gnomes and a letter without no address based on Karel Čapek's fairy-tale of the same title.
The film was never finished. The project was originally created in Bapoz in Zlín in 1941 and 1942. The work on this film was interrupted when the studio fell under the German company Deutsche Schmalfilmgesellschaft (Descheg), but Czech employees secretly continued with work on it. After the end of the war was the exposed material sent to the Brenten´s cartoon studio in Brno. Here it was gradually replaced by reshot scenes from the newly reworked version. In 1947, The Postman's Tale was completed and presented only with auxiliary sounds without music to the commission of the Prague company Short Film. She decided that the work on the film should be definitively stopped.
