'The Treasure of Bird Island' is a 1953 Czechoslovak animated film directed by Karel Zeman in his feature length debut.
The film, based on a Persian fairy tale, was Zeman's first feature-length work.
The soundtrack includes verses by Frantiek Hrubn, read by children, as well as an original film score by Zdenk Lika.
The film's style is an experiment in combining two- and three-dimensional animation, including hand-drawn backgrounds and figures animated in relief. The production design is based on the traditional manuscript-illustration style of Persian miniatures.
