Shchelkunchik

Soyuzmultfilm in its graceful expression.

It is the simple definition of this short adaptation, the ballet music of Chaikovski meeting familiar drawings and proposing a nice show, gentle, beautiful, provocative ( the girl is remplaced by a servant girl ) .

Sure, for a part of audience, source of nostalgia.

For other, discover of the charme of Soviet animation and its manner to give not only beauty and emotion to story but something easy to define as ...kindness and wisdom.

In essence, a small slice from a great art , poetic, delicat, precise crafted. And a good trip across Chaikovski work, , The Nutcracker , Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty being used, in inspired manner, to define moments of story.

In short, admirable.
