animation-appreciation-education:Снегу́рочка (The Snow Maiden)50 in x of animated feature film historyRelease: 1952Country: Soviet UnionDirector: Ivan Ivanov-Vano, Aleksandra Snezhko-Blotskaya“The Snow Maiden is based on the Slavic-pagan play of the same name by Aleksandr Ostrovsky (itself largely based on traditional folk tales). Music from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s opera The Snow Maiden is used, arranged for the film by L. Shvarts.Snegurochka––The Snow Maiden––is the daughter of Spring the Beauty (Весна-Красна) and Ded Moroz (Father Frost), and yearns for the companionship of mortal humans. She grows to like a shepherd named Lel, but her heart is unable to know love, not helped by the fact that Lel claims to love her one moment and abandons her the next. Her mother takes pity and gives her the ability to love, but as soon as she falls in love, her heart warms and she melts, happy to have known love.”(source)The Snow Maiden is available on YouTube with English subtitles. -- source link
