Noch pered Rozhdestvom (The Night Before Christmas) Created in 1913, this is a rare live action production from the legendary pioneer of stop motion animation, Ladislas Starewitch. Based on the short story by Nikolai Gogol.

The similarities in body movement, facial acting and overall pacing and action between Starewitch's live performers and his animated puppets is striking.

I have added a balalaika music using creative commons' licensed music called "Sketches with Mick" by Mick Whieldon and Matthew Lundy.

I have also attempted to create English subtitles. I do not speak or read Russian but have hand translated the inter-titles and tried to approximate a sensical dialog from machine translation. Some of my guesses at the text may be far off but it should get the idea across.
