Don Kihot is a 1961 experimental animated short by Vlado Kristl for Zagreb Film.
It is loosely based on Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes.
The author reduced the characters in the short to Klee-style ideograms, with backgrounds being represented by abstract frescoes,[1] all of which is accompanied by atonal music.
[2] The short was blacklisted during the former Yugoslavia due to its rigid classification of art and society, which Don Kihot challenged.
[3] Speed and Wilsom state that the short "presents the eccentric individualist assailed by all the forces of the modern state - guns, radar, tanks, planes, patrols, armies - and in some amazing way the nonconformist deviationist Don triumphs over them all".
