A modern version of the medieval German legend about a rat-catcher that punishes the sinful and insolent town Hammeln. It is one of the most complex animated film ever shot. The original legend serves only as a basis for a completely new, exceptional art piece from both artistic and film point of view. (Verleiher-Text)

Ein hervorragender Puppenfilm, der den Rattenfängermythos mit der gleichen Kraft wie Dyks Novelle wiederbelebt. Das wunderschöne Artwork, das in einer düsteren und lang anhaltenden gotischen Stimmung angesiedelt ist, wird im Gedächtnis haften bleiben. Eine schöne Geschichte in einer bezaubernden Umgebung.

In jeder Hinsicht perfekt. Früher habe ich mich bei Der Rattenfänger von Hameln gefürchtet. Heute finde ich den Film "nur" gruselig. Er hat aber nichts von seiner Wirkung verloren. Die Marionetten sind perfekt (ich staune immer noch darüber, wie lebendig die Ratten aussehen), die Regie ist einfallsreich, die Musik einzigartig… Und die Geschichte ist ein Klassiker, der immer noch etwas zu erzählen hat.

A masterpiece by Jiří Barta and one of the pinnacles of Czech animated filmmaking, based on the novella of the same name by Viktor Dyk. This dark work is underscored by excellent music. The foundation of its success lies in the artistically remarkable puppets and simple animation, but most importantly in the screenplay, which leverages the atmosphere of a medieval Hanseatic town. The feeling of moral decay is evident in every movement of the puppets and in every image of the omnipresent rats. It is an almost perfect example of the horror genre within animated film. Overall impression: 100%.

The uncompromisingly gloomy atmosphere, which perfectly corresponds with the legendary story, is mainly the result of the irresistibly decadent sets, excellent music (Pavlíček's "Pied Piper guitar theme" is perfect), and last but not least the great puppets. Despite their very expressive form the puppets perfectly express emotions and the relevant characters (the Pied Piper himself is a very charismatic piece of wood). Regardless, I’m beginning to understand why, as a little kid, I preferred to avoid classic Czech puppet animation - there really isn't much in it for children.
