Stories from My Childhood Movie Review 1998

There is a world of enchanting animation outside the Disney domain, but it is rare that American audiences get to see it. This collection offers a look at the exquisite and wondrous work created by the artists of Soyuzmultfilm, said to be Russia's premier animation studio. "The Snow Queen" features the voice of Kathleen Turner as the lonely and reclusive Snow Queen, who, "hurt by a burning love, became cold as ice." "The Wild Swans" is another Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale. "Alice and the Mystery of the Third Planet" recalls the psychedelia of "Yellow Submarine."
