It´s so sensitive and beautifull, some really good luck made me find this on the internet, I have never heard of Norstein and I am really amazed by his work! Too bad it seems he is not so known here in Brazil, I wished there were portuguese translations for this great animations and storys so the children could understand0. Although I show it to my children anyway. Thank you for posting this video and sharing it worldwide!
@SuperHeroMania The little grey wolf is a metaphor for an orphan. The lullaby at the very beginning of the animation has a very symbolic meaning: it warns little children of the wolves, which emphasises the fact that wolves are ostracised by the society, by people, and so are orphans because they've got no one to care for them, especially during the war time later on. Overall, the story is about our society in the eyes of a child. Hope that helped))
Another symbol connecting nearly all of these different themes are green apples (which may symbolize life, hope, or potential).Yuriy Norshteyn wrote in Iskusstvo Kino magazine that the film is "about simple concepts that give you the strength to live."
Several recurring characters and their interactions make up a large part of the film, such as the poet, the little girl and the bull, the little boy and the crows, the dancers and the soldiers, and especially the little grey wolf (Russian: се́ренький волчо́к, syeryenkiy volchok).
The film is thus made up of a series of related sequences whose scenes are interspersed between each other. One of the primary themes involves war, with particular emphasis on the enormous losses the Soviet Union suffered on the Eastern Front during World War II.
Tale of Tales, like Tarkovsky's Mirror, attempts to structure itself like a human memory. Memories are not recalled in neat chronological order; instead, they are recalled by the association of one thing with another, which means that any attempt to put memory on film cannot be told like a conventional narrative.
BEAUTIFUL!
