Everyone who watched this beautiful fairy tale, surely noticed that the Snow Queen traced much better and more thoroughly than other cartoon characters. The thing is that the beautiful but cold-hearted Queen created by technology, which is now called «live-action», or rotoscoping, ie first the role played by the actress (Mary Babanov), and then the image on film frame by frame turned into animation. < br />
In dubbing cartoon characters for Western countries attended the most famous and talented actors: for example, in the French version of the Snow Queen voice says Catherine Deneuve, and in 1998, the year another famous actress Kirsten Dunst duplicated Gerda.

Initially, the creators of the cartoon assumed that Wolf announce Vladimir Vysotsky, but the famous poet and performer at that time was in disgrace, so to take part in the project attracted Anatoly Papanova, hoarse voice which became the hallmark of cartoons.
It is interesting that almost all the directors refused cartoon, only Vyacheslav Kotёnochkin said: "This is something there!"

Ironic mammal that resembles not the bear, not the hare - a fantasy of the famous children's writer Eduard Uspensky. As stated by the author, the idea came to him when the writer was a guest of friends, a little girl who paced around the house in a long fluffy coat, constantly stumbling and falling. After the next time the girl's father exclaimed, "Oh, again cheburahnulas!».
Assumption of interest to the original word, which he then used in the book.
In the story, an exotic animal got people together with one of the boxes, which brought oranges, with Cheburashka so stuffed these fruits that could not stand on his feet, and when the drawer is opened, just fell out, for which he received a funny name- nickname.
Animated characters created by Roman Kachanov and Eduard Uspensky with the direct participation art director Leonid Shvartsman, perhaps, one of the most recognizable cartoon characters in the world. Few people know that in the 1970s in Sweden cycles out of children's television and radio programs, in which there were images of Crocodile Gena and Cheburashka, only the last Swedes called Drutten, which is an adaptation of the Russian name (in Swedish drutta - «fall, stumble "). By the way, the plot Swedish version has nothing to do with the Soviet cartoons, so many Swedes even now have no idea that their Dryutten - this is our Cheburashka.
In English and American box office the main character was named fuels («Topple»), the Germans know it as Kullerhena («Kullerchen») or Plumpsa («Plumps»), and in Finland the unknown beast called Muksis («Muksis»).
Completely inexplicable love the Japanese to Cheburashka: in 2003, the company «SP International» acquired the "Soyuzmultfilm" rights to distribute these cartoon images until 2023, the year in 2009, the year in Japan started showing animated series «Cheburashka Arere ?

Cartoon received the first prize at the International Short Film Festival in Odense (Denmark), and the Special Jury Prize at the International Animated Film Festival in Ennesi, France.
According to the resource IMDb (Internet Movie Data base), «Once Upon a Dog" - one of the most popular cartoons, issued in Russia and the Soviet Union.
Incidentally, in the rough drafts to the cartoon wolf looked different, but the director thought that his appearance does not match the voice of A. Dzhigarkhanyan though which says a character (initially Wolf had to announce Mikhail Ulyanov, but he refused because of the tight schedule of the shooting) so the character had to be completely redrawn. And the sound to leave the carts in the early cartoon Eduard Nazarov borrowed from the film "Chapaev».
Fictional characters animated film worthy of the title of People's Artists: almost every sentence of a cartoon cited for many years, but, for example, in Tomsk installed so-called Monument happiness - a 200-pound bronze statue of a sitting Wolf. When you click on a certain button cartoon hero utters one of the most famous phrases: "Right now, sing!", "God help you!" "Well, you come in, if that" other.
"Hedgehog in the Fog", the year 1975
In 2003, the creation of Yuri Norstein in a survey of critics and animators from different countries recognized as the best animated film of all time.
Since the release of the screen the story of the hedgehog and his friend cub went beyond the children's animation and become a real philosophical parable. Perhaps the best cartoon about the author said: "There is no intrigue in action, there is no dynamics of action. It is likely that in the "Hedgehog in the Fog" there was a happy event matches all elements ».
The basis for the animated film was the tale of Sergei Kozlov, and after the success of "Hedgehog" was created a few short adaptations, but none of them became as popular.
It is believed that the prototype served as the appearance of the main character's profile singer and playwright Lyudmila Petrushevskaya (this, in particular, in his book mentions Petrushevskaya itself), but Norshtein describes the process of creating the Hedgehog somewhat differently: multipliers have tried a variety of options, the exterior of the future "stars" constantly changed. The director shouted that even after the appearance of instant hero has "imprinted" on the screen, and in the end, the wife Norshtein and part-artist of his cartoons Francesca Yarbusova, has done exactly as it should.
By the way, the second place in the ranking of the best animated films also by Yuri Norstein - this animated film "Tale of Tales».
