Knyacki moves at the speed of a creature with nowhere to be, which means you stop rushing too. The clay animation catches light like it's alive, every frame warm enough to sit in. A small mint-green caterpillar deciding what matters today is all the story this show needs, and somehow that becomes the most honest thing on screen.
Knyacki is a tiny mint-green caterpillar who takes life easy and likes to move at his own pace, though he is also endlessly curious. Told in clay animation across 49 short episodes, the series mixes comedy, drama and fantasy. In one outing, two caterpillars poke around the objects on a kitchen counter while hunting for something to eat. One of them comes across a piece of pasta and is fascinated by the hole running through its middle. Their fun lasts until a big, mean caterpillar turns up, and a major confrontation follows.
