History of Soviet Animation

I wanted to know about that one fern flower animation… It is SO CREEPY and unsettling it genuinely made me sleepless at night..

What an impressive, engaging production! Writing, narration, editing, music choices (the Beethoven was well-placed particularly)… fantastic work! I see everything from Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer to Batman the Animated series and Terry Gilliam's Python material within these classic forms. Thank you for such quality work–subscribed!

Really awesome, but you left out the famous 'Steamed Hams' film.

Is this available on blu Ray?

An enjoyable watch. I hope more people find this channel in their recommendations!

Mowgli. Screen adaptation of Kipling. As a child, I loved this cartoon very much and still love it.

Hey, sorry to bother you after realizing your last video was uploaded 1 year ago but I've gained the courage to ask thanks to you're still active around here to respond those comments, I believe you could help me. There was that an old Soviet Russian animated film that I've seen many years ago when I was just a kid, I don't know maybe made in 70s or 80s but the story based definitely based around in the 1500s or 1600s and has a dark theme I mean those old pixelled-darken colors theme, the animated film starts with I could remember a teenage village girl who's not over 18, mostly like 15-16 and her friends bathe in a small lake and all of a sudden we see a maybe 2-3 meters tall, black, winged, ugly, satan-like figure in the bushes watching the teenagers very carefully, then somehow he makes a little noise maybe cracking a twig by stepping it, then flies away. After that day we see the girl doing her daily chores, I think I remember she was hanging the white bed sheets at back their grimaced village house. I remember that satan-like creature comes to the girl, at first the girl has a hesitation to call her mother or not but then we see that creature doesn't want to hurt her but take her away. I think the story was continuing the creature turned out to be a king of his people and looking for a wife to be the princess and the carry his seeds, I'm not sure that the creature was a male but being a king image pushed me to think like that. By the way the characters in that muggy themed film don't speak at all just like in Hen, His Wife, no speaking but just the musics, emotional expression sounds and ambient sounds. After we learned the king's intentions, the girl and the creature were starting to make love and they did. After weeks the girls mother, like those Catholic, old women who have lived 300 to 400 years ago, suspects that the girl might be pregnant or not that just feeling something unworldly bad happened in the village. After the old woman learned about the situation she beats her daughter and cries what a big, irrevocable mistake that her daughter made. I don't remember the rest but the film has really something in it, when I remember that memory my eyes brim with tears, it's like I've really interiorized those mythological moments. I don't really believe in these things like myths, religions and even the God concept itself and there's a spooky music in my ears going on, I don't know why but it's still there and I'm not going to stop 'til I find it. If you don't have any information about that it's OK, just reading is enough 🙂

@mountainsofmedia9959 hey thanks for putting this together – what is the animated film at 0:22 ?

Вау! Это невероятно проделанная работа, очень жаль что так мало просмотров
желаю успехов!

Interesting. :^)

Too bad it did not evolve enough to become the 'Anime' of Japan which many people love and respect.. or something like it, or close to it, it stayed within the realm of.. wierd..

Not quite what I was anticipating from searching 'Russian Animation documentry'.. but it gave a clear and concise picture of what it is..
Thank you.

A beautiful presentation!

loved it.

This video is heavily underrated, thank you so much for the teaching! My favorite multfilms were:
Cheburashka, Kot Leopold, Nu pagadi, Prostokvashino and many more!
