'''Létající Cestmír''' (German: DerFliegendeFerdinand) is a Czech children's book / TV series by Milos Macourek (book) and Václav Vorlícek (directing) from the 1980s. It's about the Cloudcuckoolander school boy Cestmír / Ferdinand, who one day is magically transported to a planet of magical flowers. Of course, nobody believes him. However, he brought two magical flowers back. Much HilarityEnsues. And then, other people are drawn to the flower planet - and the city's barber wants to get said flowers for his own advantage...

!!Examples:
* BaldOfEvil: The barber.
* ChildrenAreInnocent: The professor [[AnAesop explicitly says so]]. Note however, that the barber's son is pretty much an asshole despite being a kid, and the professor is a good guy despite being old. It's really more about whether you are "a child at heart".
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The protagonist. After reading a pseudoscientific article about telekinesis, he thinks it's really possible in our world. Of course, [[HowUnscientific most people wouldn't believe in magical flowers either...]]
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight / CassandraTruth: The one time Cestmír / Ferdinand tells a story he didn't make up, nobody believes him.
* {{Cyborg}}: The institute where David's father works, which aims for the improvement of man, has invented among other things a helm which improves the olfactory sense and a more practical tool for improving hearing.
* TheDitz: The barber's son. In one scene he fails to add two one-digit numbers! (AlternateCharacterInterpretation: He sees homework as beneath his dignity.)
* EternalYouth: What one of the flowers does. [[spoiler:The professor uses it, but apparently nobody else.]]
* {{Flight}}: Done by one of the two flowers Cestmír / Ferdinand gets.
* GenerationXerox: Everyone tells Cestmír / Ferdinand that he's "just like his father". Consequently, when the one flower turns him into an adult, he's played by his father's actor. [[InformedAbility Despite the fact that there isn't really much similarity.]]
* GoAmongMadPeople: The father is mistaken for crazy, because his son (remember, in his adult form he looks like his father) is around and acts, well, not like himself. You know what I mean.
* GreenRocks: The meteorite which is found by Cestmír / Ferdinand and later, his teacher Philip. It glows blue, and sometimes changes its size; when people come too close to it, they're sucked into it and go to the planet of the magical flowers.
* HealingHands: Another flower can heal about any disease, including baldness. Which the barber uses to become a famous healer. At the end, the city's hospital is empty.
* JerkAss: The barber and his son.
* MagicalLand: The planet of the magical flowers, of course.
* PlantPeople: The flowers in the other world can speak, and apparently humans can communicate with them.
* {{Psychokinesis}}: Cestmír / Ferdinand thinks he can obtain this after reading an article about a fakir. Later, he tries using this to open the safe where the stolen flowers are.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: The barber again.
* SmallNameBigEgo: The barber's son. He wants to be called "grand vizier" by the other kids and throws a temper when they won't.
* SternTeacher: Ms Klepácová / Knobloch
* SuperIntelligence: One flower (notice the pattern?). Also gives all kinds of abilities, like speaking Japanese.
* SuperSenses: The barber's wife uses it [[MundaneUtility to learn all kinds of interesting gossip]], which she puts into the newspaper.
* SuperStrength: Also by one flower. The barber and his son once use it to win a tennis match (6:0, 6:0, 6:0, unsurprisingly).
* TwoGuysAndOneGirl: The protagonist and his friends.
* UrbanFantasy
* {{Villain}}: The barber, who wants to use the flowers to make money and get famous.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Philip spends almost one year there, but on Earth only a few minutes pass.
