My love for early stop-motion Russian animation is endless. This film is one of my favorites; the images were photographed on glass panes that were slowly shifted to create the illusion of movement in space, along with other techniques. It’s written and directed by Ivan Ivanov-Vano, and co-directed by Yuri Norstein. This is some of the earlier work for Norstein (1969), his later work is really incredible and worth checking out.
