The more I look at the old Soviet animation, the more awed I am. It’s a shame that the Cold War was raging when many of these cartoons were made because they definitely stand up against the best of Walt Disney. I’ve been having a field day perusing the old animations since I started watching the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Here’s a really gorgeous animated piece that’s based on an old Russian fairy tale called “Fox and Rabbit”. Not only are the graphics and animation amazing but the story really pierces the heart as well.
