Hedgehog in the Fog [Ёжик в тумане], Yuriy Norshteyn (1975)

This is a story about a little hedgehog (voiced by Mariya Vinogradova) and his friend bear cub (voiced by Vyacheslav Nevinniy). The two would meet every evening to drink tea from the cub's samovar, which was heated on a fire of juniper twigs. As they drank their tea, the hedgehog and the bear conversed and counted the stars together. One day, the hedgehog decided to bring raspberry jam. As he went to the bear to count the stars, he passed through the woods and found a horse standing in a fog, where the hedgehog can't even see his own pink paw. He is curious as to whether the horse would drown if it went to sleep in the fog. The hedgehog decides to explore the fog.

I'm glad to see that people from other countries like Russian art :) There is a charm to the old artwork, not like today where nearly everything gets made for the sake of profit

Hedgehog Bear said: - It is good that we have each other. - Just imagine: I do not have one and you do not have anyone to talk to.

- Where are you? - No me nowhere! - What are you bothering me? - angry Bear. - If you do not, then I do not. Get it? (writer Yuri Kozlov "Hedgehog in the Fog") sorry for the mistakes in the text .. =)

In the words of Krusty The Clown......"What the hell was that?"

I'm just kidding of course, this was truly a dark masterpiece.The nocturnal animation was very evocative, it reminded me of Vangoughs Starrynight. Bjorks video "Human Behavior" was said to have been inspired by this film.

This is beautiful. It's so dark and authentic... I just love it.
