Is this by soyuzmultfilm? I can barely read russian, but the first few words in the film nearly spell out it's name. Can someone please confirm?

[nortmer]

yes

I love this film and have been looking for a copy on DVD for ages. Anyone know where I can get one that plays in the UK?

RUSSIAN CARTOONS ARE FAR BETTER THAN AMERICAN CARTOONS. THOSE RUSSIAN CARTOONS, ESPECIALLY PRODUCED DURING THE U.S.S.R ERA, WERE VERY GREAT, EDUCATIONAL AND INGENIOUS. US CARTOONS ARE RATHER

INTENDED FOR SPOILING KIDS!

Yes, Snow Queen was released in the US in 1959, but in a version that was more respectful to the original(I think), than the stateside "Horse" release, which was years later, more obscure, and shoehorned in 1980s stlye songs that didn't synch with the lip movements of the characters.

@antoniod Really? I thought it was Snow Queen. This one, I've watched it on Mikhail Baryshnikov's Stories from My Childhood. The script of this movie seems to be lifted directly from the poem, word by word.

This came out in a BAD American version with added pop-style songs that didn't fit the action.

It's so interesting t listen to the original. :) I've only every heard the German version which I just love so much! I'm amazed how close they kept to the original!
