The film is the last installment of an animated trilogy, using the subtitle Fimfárum 3: The Third Time Lucky. It combines classic puppet animation and computer animation produced in 3D stereoscopic technology. It consists of three fairy tales based again on a book by Jan Werich.

"We decided to postpone the release because of the extremely long and exacting post-production of the longest segment, a 40 minute long story On Reason and Joy by director David Súkúp. He will work on his part until September," producer Vandas told FNE. Two other shorter stories by directors Kristina Dufková and Vlasta Pospíšilová are already prepared for release.

"Using the demanding 3D stereoscopic technology, Finmfárum 3 is the most expensive movie from the trilogy with a budget of CZK 30 million (1.2 million Euros)," said Vandas. Czech television (www.ceskatelevize.cz) and Bioscop (www.bioscop.cz) co-produced the movie. "We also received a record CZK 7 million grant (279,000 Euros) from the Czech State Fund for Support and Development of Cinematography," Vandas confirmed.
