The fairy tale When the Dragon Has a Headache by Dušan Rapoš did not receive much praise from the audience. The fact that Maestro Karel Gott (†80) plays alongside his daughters Charlotte Ella (16) and Nelly Sofía (14) didn’t help the film either. At the ČSFD, the fairy tale received only 12% and is therefore the 30th worst film.
Viewers were very upset by the mispronunciation of Czech and Slovak. The deceased also spoke Slovak in the film singer Karel Gotthe said it didn’t work at all, and even the Slovaks, who spoke Czech in the fairy tale, didn’t fare well.
But what viewers thought was really pointless was the bad design of the Czechoslovakian-speaking dragon Čmoudík. He spoke a head Libor Bouček and the group’s second frontman Nameless Igor Tiko. “Bad. Children must never see it. Slovakian Kája brings tears (in the negative sense of the word). Terrible post-syncs, bad music and a goblin to kill” writes to ČSFD one of the critics.
The Gott sisters
As we have already said, in the criticized fable they also acted alongside their father Charlotte her a Nelly Sophia. Both have come a long way since filming the fairy tale, and the Maestro would surely be proud of them.
Nelly Sophia follows in his father’s artistic footsteps, he’s just chosen a slightly different direction. She is a great dancer, which she has shown in many of her father’s concerts. As her sister, Nelly appeared in the musical Antoinette.
While Nelly seems to have come out of her mother’s eye, the older Charlotte is increasingly like her father. Charlotte still carried on several projects together with her father, including in common: one of them is the joint hit song Srdce nehasnou, which they sang together in 2019. Later, in 2021, Charlotte took 22nd place in survey Czech Nightingale. He beat, for example, Helena Vondračkova or Berenik Kohoutova.
Charlotte also recently it was a huge success for his singing performance as part of the Tribute to Karl Gott concert, where he sang in front of a sold-out O2 Arena alongside Darrow Rollins. During her emotional performance, many people felt chills, as described by the editor of eXtra.cz, who was present.
The plot of the fairy tale
And what is the much-criticized fairy tale about? The protagonist is Barborka (Charlotte Ella Gottová), who together with Tomík spend their holidays with their grandmother (Kamila Magálová) and grandfather (Karel Gott) in the forge under Dračí skála, where an unconventional helper, the two-headed dragon Čmoudík, he works with all his might.
One day, when the children are about to spend the night in the cave with the dragon, they discover an old map on the cave wall and Čmoudík, one chief of whom speaks Czech and the other Slovak, begins to tell an exciting story about the creation of the Kingdom of Dragonsto the great love of Princess Adéla (Zuzana Žáková) and Prince Janko (Yakub Jablonsky), about an ancient curse and a terrible Dragon, about the evil elf Blivajz (Miro Noga), but also about the secret of the Meadow of Oblivion, a lost dragon egg and a couple of kangaroo sausages.
