Veliki miting (1951): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1951, Veliki miting is an animation film directed by Walter Neugebauer, running about 20 minutes.

What it’s about. Once upon a time there lived a journalist. Eager to spark interest in his boss’s newspaper, he published news of a colourful bird, more like a parrot than a chicken, less like an ostrich than a swan. No one could work out the origin of this strange bird and a web of sensational stories soon spun, but it burst the moment it came out that the witty journalist repainted an ordinary duck. From that moment on every lie journalists tell is called a ‘canard’. Our film leads directly to the nest of one such duck, in Bucharest, where the inform-propaganda spin doctor Pavel Judin, instructed by wise managerial orders and Moscow, overblows this featherless bird to the pleasure of ones and the derision of others.

Who’s in it. Veliki miting stars Dragoje Čović as (voice), Ivan Lalić as (voice), Josip Sudar as (voice) and Stevo Vujatović as (voice).
