 Rating:  - Great collection with the best animation ever made in USSRThis is a great collection! for those who is unfamiliar with Soviet cartoons and never seen one it will be hard perhaps to understand the appeal of some of them. But considering most of them were made in 70's and remembering what was available in 70's as far as cartoons go will help. The best cartoon of this bunch is "The Hedgehog In The Fog." This piece was immensely popular in USSR at the time it was made. It certainly reflects what Russians value in animation - the story, the feelings, a little ...

I've just finished this collection, and although almost all are enjoyable in some way, I especially liked three: "Ballerina on a boat", which resembles the UPA cartoons of the same era in its minimalism, "Butterfly", which resembles Yellow Submarine's trippiest parts, and "Crane Feathers", which is curious because it is a Japanese folk story told by Russian animators. The last one, "Contact", is also very, very ... Read More Rating:  - A colorful glimpse into art from another countryI really, really enjoyed this collection. Yuri Norstein's shorts, "Hedgehog in the Fog" in particular, are absolutely incredible. The kind of depth he can create with only two dimensions to work with is truly impressive. Also prepare to be amazed by "Butterfly" and "Ballerina on the Boat." Rating: - ExcellentAs a big fan of stop-motion animation, I was impressed by the offerings this DVD had. Highly recommended! Rating: - Hedgehog SuperstarYes my Amazon name is a nod, if not an outright ripoff, from the Y. Norstein short included here. This disc is awesome! Norstein, the Miyazaki of Russia, is featured in this disc with four of his films represented here. I gain so much joy from watching these shorts. Just when we built up the notion of the evil red empire, our preseption will be forever changeed when we see these gems from our former enemy. The true masters of world animation are included here! |
