Masters of Russian Animation, Vol. 1 Movie Review 1997

As a group, these Russian short films from the 1960s are more stylized, serious, intelligent, and challenging than the animation Americans are used to. They range in length from one to 20 minutes and there's no single theme. Dinosaurs, art, music, and film itself are subjects. Contents: "Story of One Crime," Fyodor Khitruk (1962); "Man in the Frame," Khitruk (1966); "My Green Crocodile," Vadim Kurchevsky (1966); "There Lives Kozyavin," Andrei Khrjanovsky (1966); "Moutain of Dinosaurs," Rasa Strautmane (1967); "Passion of Spies," Yefin Gamburg (1967); "Glass Harmonica," Khrjanovsky (1968); "Ball of Wool," Nikolai Serebryakov (1968); "Singing Teacher," Anatoly Petrov (1968); and "Film Film Film," Fyodor Khitruk (1968).
