Let's take a break from Disney movies and Japanese cartoons. I'd like to share with you two beautiful Russian short film. The animation is so beautiful - just perfect for children! I hope you all love the narration, the music and the stories as I do.
The first film tells a story about a big mouse who have settled under someone's apartment building. It is based on a poem written by a Russian poet, Ludmila Ulanova. The animation was produced by Russian illustrator, Constantin Arefiev. This beautiful short film has just won an award at the 2010 ZEBRA Poetry Film Festival in Berlin.

The second film is by Russian director, Sergei Ryabov. With music by Brahms, Ravel and Tchaikovsky as a backdrop, this award-winning animation tells a story about a little girl's fantasy about a fish.
