Right now there is an FLM member sharing the file posted. Since each "movie" is half the runtime of the whole series, my GUESS is that the series was split into two movies.
I am so glad you thought of this, so I did some light digging.
But first, I had not heard of this movie/series and it looks fantastic, my kinda thing. And the main girl looks darling!
I found this link:

In the comments section, we get:
Především si musíme všichni uvědomit, že nevznikla žádná dvojka, ale byl natočen seriál a z něj vytvořeny dva filmy. Tedy přesně opačný postup, než je jinak běžný v současnosti například u pohádky Z pekla štěstí nebo Princezny ze mlejna, ale také Snowboarďáci. Takže oba filmy jsou součástí jednoho seriálu dělaného najednou. Pravdou je, že první půlka seriálu, nebo chcete-li první film, je přeci jen vtipnější. Už proto, že ta druhá - druhý film, je v podstatě opakování vtipů a toho, co fungovalo prvně. Nic nového autoři už vymyslet nedokázali. Snad jen kapánek vylepšili hudbu. Ale i tak zůstává pár povedených komediálních scén.
Translated:
First of all, we all need to realize that there was no sequel, but a series was made and two films were made from it. That is, the exact opposite of what is otherwise common nowadays, for example with the fairy tale Helluva Good Luck (Z pekla štěst) or The Watermill Princess (Princezny ze mlejna), but also Snowboarders (Snowboarďáci). So both films are part of one series made at the same time. The truth is that the first half of the series, or if you prefer the first film, is funnier. If only because the second - the second film, is basically a repetition of jokes and what worked the first time. The authors couldn't come up with anything new. They only improved the music a little. But even so, there are a few good comedy scenes.
I should note, some of the other reviews from that link could be read as to imply that the second movie collects many of the scenes from the second half of the series, but not in any particular order or completeness. Possibly not, but something to look out for:
it [the second film] is essentially a pure crazy comedy, where there is no plot anymore, but just a series of comic scenes connected with magical formulae. This film does not bother to explain their origin, just as one does not learn how the formulae managed to turn an apartment rink into a normal apartment again in a second. There is no logic ...
This will save me time trying to figure out getting ALL movies and series.
Now, I appreciate high quality video transfers and good German dubbings, but I am also interested in the original audio. I am trying to grab some of the older files shared here. Does anyone know if any they have the original Czech audio?
