“A great anthology of animated films from a country with a rich (yet often hidden) sense of humour. The films range from the Soviet system bashing of “Man in the Frame” & “There Lived Kozyavin” to morality plays such as “Ball of Wool” and “Glass Harmonica” to the delightful silliness of “Film, Film, Film” & “The Passion of Spies”. These films provide a rare glimpse into the REAL world of the Soviet Union of the sixties. A rich compilation certain to please anyone who appreciates wit & wisdom in animation.” – Customer Review on Amazon.com

Masters Of Russian Animation: Volume 2 of 4 (Remastered)
DVD-9 | MPEG2 720 x 480 (4:3) | Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0, 192 Kbps | 2h:05min | 6,84 Gb
Genre: Animation | IMDB: 8.6/10 | Studio: SoyuzMultfilm, Image Entertainment
ASIN: 6305837201 | 1969-1978 Years (DVD Release Date: 2000) | Language: Russian, Subtitles: English

“If you have any love of animation at all – the artistry, the depth, the impact – the “Masters of Russian Animation” volumes are a MUST OWN. In this edition, Norstein's “Hedgehog in the Fog” will tickle and please your visual imagination like NOTHING else! I presented this short film to an American suburban community center audience and they were SPELLBOUND! I've owned a lot of films on DVD (and sold a lot – crazy recession), but I'll never relinquish any of the four volumes in this series. NEVER! Enjoy, with my regards.” – Customer Review on Amazon.com
“The artists featured on the second volume of Image Entertainment and Jove Films' enchanting Masters of Russian Animation, in their decision to abandon the real world in favor of one over which they have complete control, knew full well the inherent power of images. Each of the twelve short films presented on the disc, spanning a broad range of styles and moods, is more astounding than the next. Unfettered by the laws of nature, the animator's vision is of the purest essence, limited only by the boundaries of their imagination (a lesson well learned by modern visionaries like Tim Burton and the Brothers Quay). Given the oppressive conditions under which these films were created – Russia has never been a bastion of free speech and unrestrained creativity – the decidedly upbeat message delivered by most of the shorts came as somewhat of a surprise^Ethe overall picture painted is glaringly positive.

The most visually stunning piece in the set comes from Ivan Ivanov-Vano and Yuri Norstein (whose 1979 film, Tale of Tales, was deemed the best animated film of all time by a group of international animation historians). Entitled Battle at Kerzhenets, the short illustrates the onslaught of an army of foreign invaders on the unsuspecting people of Russia, portrayed in the style of the ancient masters. The Russian women, cradling infants, their robes laced with gold, look unmistakably like the Blessed Mother of the Classical period, leading one to believe that the advancing hordes have come to not only destroy the people, but their religious beliefs, as well. The filmmakers used breathtaking stop-motion animation, cut paper, and forced perspective to bring the battle at Kerzhenets to life. The invaders are draped in black and gold, their ebony horses breathing fire as they storm across the battlefield. To great effect, the score (by Rimsky Korsakov) increases in intensity as the confrontation progresses. The final moments of the battle are especially devastating: their earthly shells heaped in mounds, the spirits of the dead – black bodies silhouetted in neon blue – oversee the arrival of their fallen comrades into the afterlife, far and away the film's most affecting sequence. All is not without hope, however, as evidenced by the film's final sequence in which the survivors of the confrontation rise up to rebuild their shattered lives.

The twelve films, digitally restored from new 35 mm prints (struck by the National Film Archive of Russia) and presented in a number of different aspect ratios, look absolutely stunning. The overall quality of the collection is not hampered in the slightest by the few infrequent bursts of print damage and minor discoloration, a fact of life when dealing in films of this vintage. The collection spans the gamut from wildly colorful (Vladimir Tarasov's Contact) to downright dismal (Yuri Norstein's dreary Hedgehog in the Fog), all of which are magnificently displayed in crisp, superbly detailed transfers. The mono soundtrack, while not as robust as it could have been (Tchaikovsky has definitely sounded better), serves the imagery well!” – Amazon.com

Masters Of Russian Animation: Volume 4 of 4 (Remastered)
DVD-9 | MPEG2 720 x 480 (4:3) | Audio: Dolby Digital 1.0, 192 Kbps | 2h:21min | 5,86 Gb
Genre: Animation | IMDB: 8.8/10 | Studio: SoyuzMultfilm (USSR), Image Entertainment

“ “The 12 shorts in this collection were made at the Soyuzmultfilm Studio during the late '80s, shortly before the collapse of the Soviet regime ended the subsidies that had financed the studio's output since its establishment in 1936. Nina Shorina's mordant stop-motion film “Door” (1986) probably ranks as the best known work in the anthology. The outre' inhabitants of a crumbling apartment house go to enormous trouble getting in and out of the building without using the front door – even after a boy demonstrates that it's unlocked. “Door” satirizes the mismanaged life Soviet citizens endured for decades, but the rest of the films draw primarily on non-Russian sources for inspiration. Natasha Golovanova's charming “Boy Is a Boy” (1986) reflects the influence of British illustrator Ronald Searle; “Liberated Don Quixote” (1987) by Vadim Kurchevsky offers backgrounds that evoke the paintings of El Greco; Mikhail Aldashin and Peep Pedmanson borrowed heavily from the Hubley Studio films “Keke” (1988). While Shorina's “Alter Ego” (1989) resembles a watered-down version of the work of Czech surrealist animator Jan Svankmajer. Although many of the films are interesting and entertaining, the studio was clearly past its prime. The viewer looks in vain for the compelling personal visions of Yuri Norstein and Fyodor Khitruk, who dominated Soyuzmultfilm during its most creative period.” – Charles Solomon, Amazon.com ”




“ “American audiences in general are not as familiar with animation that is OTHER than Saturday morning Warner brothers, or other kiddie directed style. And while it's possible that the films in this collection are below par for great world animation – they are still mindblowingly beautiful works. Especially “Door”, and “Big Underground Ball”. The imagination and effort that goes into these brilliant stop motion doll, and claymation works is inspiring and delightful. And a long artistic way from the few celebrated claymation features that get rolled out every year for the past 45 years and are the staple of American diet on holidays. This series 1-4, along with Jan Svankmayer's works, should be part of any fan of visual arts collection.” – Customer Review on Amazon.com ”
