Copernicus' Star

Copernicus' Star (Polish: Gwiazda Kopernika) is a Polish-language children's animated film, directed and written by Zdzisław Kudła and Andrzej Orzechowski.

It was based on life of Nicholas Copernicus, a 15th- and 16th-century Renaissance scientist, and the author of the heliocentric model of the universe.

When he is ten years old, Paul van de Volder, a Dutch astrologer, visits his house and foretells him a brilliant future.

On the one side there is the charlatan astrologer Van de Volder, on the other, Albert of Brudzewo and the other professors at the University.

The film was produced by Studio Filmów Rysunkowych in Bielsko-Biała, Poland, and was its first feature production since 1986 Bolek and Lolek in the Wild West.
