Was "The Snow Queen" the pinnacle of Russian animation?

This movie is beautiful and no one ever has heard of it :(

I couldn't say for sure, but I'm guessing probably not. It's just a very good well rounded animated film, no more no less, but I wouldn't go calling it a pinnacle from a country that has so many other quality works to offer.

It's either that or The Hedgehog In The Fog.

While there's a /rus/ thread up, does anyone remember that animation about the three astronauts in a really vividly colored world? It was two bearded guys and a girl and I think one of them plays chess against a big monster at one point. I cant remember the name but I know the animation was fantastic.

>>90025388
The Hedgehog In The Fog is the best russian animation IMO.

>>90025611
The Mystery of the Third Planet

I was gonna say that thing with the hedgehog, beaten.

snow queen is pretty basic for russian animation imo. Captain wrongel, treasure island, winnie the pooh, etc. Those are the ones I really enjoy.

personal favorite is The Bremen Musicians

I NEED THE ANIMATION WITH A GOATMOM

I NEED MY FIX

I'm not as nearly as familiar with russian animation to feel qualified to deny or confirm than.
It is certainly an amazing piece of art but is not like with Hungary where all the astounding animation from there is attributed to Marcell Jankovics and just by looking as his work you can find the best animation from the country, which is in my opinion Tragedy of Man.

>>90025388
No, Tale of Tales was

Too bad the creator went full Stallman afterwards

They're supposed to be "inspired by" the same Hans Christen Andersen story. But Snow Queen is the one that plays it straight.

There's a great animated version of a dr.seuss book where all the frames are painted on glass.

I don't find the movie as a whole too impressive, but the animation of the Snow Queen herself is absolutely astounding. She barely does anything, but everything in her design and motions just radiates power, majesty and cold beauty.

I also like how she isn't defeated in some flashy plot contrivance, just calmly concedes that there's too much power of love for her to handle and teleports Kai and Gerda out

That's impressive, but the scale is completely wrong.

>>90028760
Face too anime

>>90025941
I think OP's talking about the quality of animation, not just how enjoyable a cartoon is.

>>90028824
The body too. Well, making on-model r34 of her demands a level of skill that internet smut artists are extremely unlikely to possess.

this one always impressed me, sheer quality-wise

Haven't seen that one, usually the example of this style posted in Soviet animation threads is this

>>90025388
No, I think the "Mystery/Secret of the Third Planet" was. However I always felt that the real strength of Russian animation was in the voice work, characters and writing.

>tfw you've known about the Snow Queen for almost two years now but have still yet to watch it
While we're on the topic of Eastern European animation, does Jan Svankmajer's Faust count as animation with all the claymation and puppetry? Movie has some fucking god-tier imagery.
