This is a 1951 Russian animation of an 1833 fairytale poem written by Alexander Pushkin that is based upon the classic Grimms tale, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was directed by Ivan Pyetrovich Ivanov-Vano, known as the ‘patriarch of Soviet animation.’

The film is in Russian so you can use the YouTube settings to turn on English subtitles.
Okay, I have no idea what this is but it was submitted to my Vimeo short films group and I like it. It has a goofy look and it just makes me laugh even though it’s in French. It actually appears to be the work of a graphic designer named Fred Aujas. Here is how his web site describes this little film:
Outrageously Ferocious and vulgar !
A trashy animated series worthy of the great grindhouse films of the 70s.
I mean seriously this thing should just go straight through to a full-blown TV series. Right now.
The artist has a very cool web site.
Thank you to Rob Smart.
Here’s the first animated version of a Tintin story from 1947. It was directed by Claude Misonne. I am very worried by the billboards around Los Angeles for the new Spielberg film. They are just horrifically ugly. That cannot be a good sign for the movie.
