The Marathon

J'adore

I saw this delightful, poignant video at an animation festival in the late 1980's and, like honeydays, have never forgotten it. I'm so happy that dghez put it on youtube--thank you! (having gotten a lot closer to 60, myself, in the intervening 20 years...)

I saw this video on the Disney Channel in the year of Mickey's 60th. It mesmerized me and I've never forgotten it. I thought I would never see it again. I recall that before they showed the video, the narrator of the program told the viewers that at the time, Russia was not known for quality animation and so their initial presentation to Disney executives was something of a surprise. At the close of the video, there was not a dry eye in the house.

"animators Mikhail Tumelya and Alexander Petrov" and Sasha Dorogov !

incredible. so edgy, so on the mark. creativity knows no nations, no ideologies, no decades.

Real nice...<3
