This is a gorgeous  animation. I'm curious. At the Laputah Animation Festival in Tokyo what did they say was the best film of all time?

@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))

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!

I feel inspired by this for some reason. I could write a Russian novel.
