Krkonošské pohádky (literally Giant Mountains' Fairy Tales) is a Czech children's television series about Krakonoš, the mythical ruler of the Giant Mountains. It was filmed by director Věra Jordánová for Czechoslovak Television. It consists of 20 ten-minute episodes, the first seven of which were created in 1973 (broadcast in 1974, episodes 1 to 7), the next six in 1977 (broadcast in 1978, first as episodes 8 to 13, after the completion of the third series ranked as 8. to episodes 12 and 20) and the last seven in 1984 (broadcast 1986, episodes 13 to 19). In February 2013, based on the audience poll, he became the best Večerníček series.[1]
Plots of the individual parts are based on practically the same principle: The greedy and evil Trautenberk will try to gain some advantage at the expense of his large and powerful neighbor Krakonoš. He is punished by Krakonoš for this. In his plans, Trautenberk usually involves his servants who just don't like to fulfill his orders and therefore Krakonoš doesn't punish them. There are practically no episodic characters in the series, the only exception being the jay, which regularly brings information to Krakonoš about Trautenberk's plans.
