Watch: Baron Prášil 1962 123movies, Full Movie Online – The stories of Baron Münchhausen were enriched by Karel Zeman with a character of a modern astronaut Tommy and compare two different worlds – the world of a rococo cavalier whose fantasy does not have any limits and the world of a young man of the present time. The astronaut (Rudolf Jelínek) finds on the moon the famous dreamer Baron Münchhausen (Milos Kopecký), who takes him back to earth and a variety of exaggerated adventures. Amusing variation on the old stories, using live action against deliberately artificial backgrounds..
Plot: The 20th century’s first man lands on the moon and discovers – that Baron Munchausen has already beaten him to it, along with Cyrano and characters from Jules Verne’s lunar-landing novel. The Baron spirits the young cosmonaut by horse-drawn ship back to an ancient “Earth”, where they insult a sultan, rescue a princess, fall in love with the princess, and then as a trio have further experiences in a world of pastel colors, ornate dreamlike settings, and the inevitable angry disrupters of peacefulness and love.

Zeman’s Visual Poetry: The Most Charming Baron, Emerging from Dore’s Paintings and Inspired Music
“Baron Munchausen” (“Baron Prasil” in Czech) is one of the most charming and poetic movies among those thousands which I saw …It is that very rare kind of movie I love to see for dozen and dozen of times, in virtually any mood and time …
Old illustrations by Gustave Dore brought to life by an unforgettable visual imagination of Karel Zeman …
Everything dressed in a soft melancholy of an enchanting music by great Zdenek Liska, so simple and sophisticated at the same time…
Though Zeman is mostly painting his magic world by his unique visual creativity, those able to understand the Czech dialogues get another lovely dimension, inhabited by fine jokes and never-tiring games with words…
And of course, Milos Kopecky as the Baron is the very symbol and soul of Munchausen …
An essential classic movie for every true film fan (not recommended for nervous consumers and victims of Hollywood moneymakers, however).
How much those modern versions of Munchausen (and whatever are their modifications and names) miss the point of this magic Zeman’s version: its fundamental visual craftsmanship, soft melancholy of a fable, an inspired music, and everything in a perfect union …
How poor and tedious is 99.99% of that Hollywood stuff in comparison with this Zeman’s masterpiece …
No, they cannot do such a movie any more with all those naturalistic computer tricks, but a total lack of Karel Zeman’s insight and visual poetry…
please, make it available
Karel Zeman was a genius if visual artistry. His playful use of 19th century engravings in a live-action movie is so original and it works so well. Everybody who praises the Gilliam’s Munchhausen should hold the judgement until he sees this Munchhausen. If anybody from the video industry watches this database, please make this movie available at least on VHS. And once you are at it, I would add two more Zeman’s films that are made with the same charm, technical wizardry, nostalgia and artistic vision: Vynalez zkazy (1958) (“The invention of Destruction” in English) and Blaznova kronika (1963) (“The Fools’ Chronicles”). In the chronological order, I consider the three films a loose trilogy that uses the esthetics of the 19th, 18th, and 17th century, respectively, to study the timeless human situation.
