The thesis concentrates on animated movie The Secret of Kells and its literary adaptation in a form of a picture book. The thesis concentrates mostly on the differences (if they exist) between stories that are introduced by two different types of media. For this reason the theoretical part consists of presentation of the key concepts, which is followed by literary and intermedia theory. Literary theory is based on the work of Max Lüthi, The European Folktale and the basis for intermedia theory is narratology as presented by Matevž Rudolf. Both, animated movie as well as picture book, are founded on historic and mythological elements, therfore a chapter on intertextuality, based on the work of Marko Juvan, is included as well. In the empirical part, the animated movie and picture book The Secret of Kells are analyzed, theory is aplicated to the case and both works are compared. Even though both works were presented in the 2009 by same authors, some differences exist between both works that are presented through different media. Those differences are presented in the following thesis.
