Little Otik (Czech: Otesánek), also known as Greedy Guts, is a 2000 surreal dark comedy horror film by Jan Švankmajer and Eva Švankmajerová. Based on the folktale Otesánek by Karel Jaromír Erben, the film is a comedic live action, stop motion-animated feature film set mainly in an apartment building in the Czech Republic.
The film uses the Overture to Der Freischütz (1821) by Carl Maria von Weber as the score.
