Once upon a mountain within their dwellings of white mist and clouds, two groups of monkeys fight for a place in a hot spring. Our unlikely characters, a troop of Japanese macaques known locally as Nihonzaru, live in a world of secrets quite different to our own, yet plagued by familiar tensions. The snowstorm’s blows […]

I watched the movie “Sister”. Here, finally, is a film not about evil, but about kindness. Or even like this: about Kindness. Director Alexander Galibin made his film based on the story of the wonderful Bashkir writer Mustai Karim “The Joy of Our Home”. The story is quite simple. In a Ukrainian village destroyed by […]

In fairy tales, the battle with the dragon has long been the main feat of every knight-hero, but sometimes in real life even from a child no less than genuine heroism can be required. What boy didn’t dream as a child of becoming a hero and definitely fighting the most terrible dragon? After all, defeating […]

I previously read the book by Sergei Shargunov, which formed the basis of the film. The book is larger and deeper, which is only natural. The film itself was shot professionally and conscientiously. Of course, this is not a document, although some shots almost document the chronicle. The main advantage of the film: this is […]

Once in a while, every parent, to one degree or another, faces the disobedience of their child. In France in the 60s, even a kid named Nicolas was popular — a character in children’s illustrated books, on which more than one generation of French grew up. He is curious and restless, mischievous but a dreamer, […]

Animated Short Film “THOUGHT OF YOU” is a delightful graphic novel with images that look like they’ve stepped out of the pages of an artist’s album and came to life. A great way to show the experience and dreams of each character is simply through a pencil drawing that comes to life without distracting details. […]

It is not difficult to notice that directors from different countries have their own special preferences in the selection of comedy stories. In Russia, for example, this is army humor and crime stories, and in France, of course, cooking and romance. But it would seem difficult to find a more inappropriate moment and place for […]

Opposites are known to attract. Because the heroes of the French animated comedy “Jinxy Jenkins & Lucky Lou” were doomed to meet, and, according to the authors’ intention, their meeting was to be completely random and completely captivating the attention of the audience. As a result, an exciting race of heroes in an uncontrolled ice […]

In a fancy Parisian Café, an uptight bourgeois discovers he forgot to bring his wallet and bides his time by ordering more coffee. “French Roast” is a 2008 French computer-animated short film created by Fabrice Joubert. It received ANIMA – Córdoba International Animation Festival award in 2009. The storyline is very simple. A disheveled man […]

Obviously, for the success of the film with the jaded modern audience, everything matters. And it all, of course, begins with the original plot. For example, as in the film “Johnny Express” by South Korean author James (Kyingmin) Woo. And, although before the release of the film, he was engaged in animation for a relatively […]
