Arkadiy Tyurin.\u003cbr\u003eYuri Norstein's first film is a visually striking tribute to the Bolshevik Revolution on October 25\u003cbr\u003eSEASONS - 1969, 9 min. A man and woman ride through the forest while the seasons change around them in this lovely, elegiac short set to music by Tchaikovsky.\u003cbr\u003eCHILDREN AND MATCHES - 1969, 5 min. Norstein's rarely-seen educational short about the dangers of matches, from ancient times up to today.\u003cbr\u003eTHE BATTLE OF KERZHENETS - 1971, 10 min., co-dir. Ivan Ivanov-Vano. Arguably Norstein's first great animated film, inspired by the legend of the City of Kitezh which disappeared into a lake to avoid Mongol invaders.\u003cbr\u003eTHE FOX \u0026amp; THE HARE - 1973, 12 min. Norstein's utterly charming short about a temperamental \"house-filching fox\" who boots a poor rabbit out of its home. The rabbit turns to a wolf, bear, bull and rooster for help, with surprising results.\u003cbr\u003eTHE HERON \u0026amp; THE CRANE - 1974, 10 min. An awkward crane and a high-spirited heron go back and forth on marrying each other, in this heartbreaking short about romantic misunderstandings.\u003cbr\u003eHEDGEHOG IN THE FOG - 1975, 11 min. The deceptively epic journey of the tiny hedgehog, filled with impossible marvels and dangers: a shimmering white horse and a crafty owl. A fluttering bat, a falling leaf and the ever-present curtain of fog. Widely considered one of the greatest animated films ever made.\u003cbr\u003eA DAY BEFORE OUR ERA - 1977, 6 min. Co-dir. Fyodor Khitruk. This experimental collage of images of the French Revolution was apparently abandoned before it was finished, and remains one of Norstein's rarest films.\u003cbr\u003eTHE TALE OF TALES - 1979, 29 min. Norstein's longest film to date, TALE is a story about stories, a dream of many dreams. A giant bull and a little girl skip rope. Couples dance under a streetlight until the male partners disappear, headed off to war. And through it all, the Little Grey Wolf watches silently at the rondo of human loves and losses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBonus Materials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew restorations by Deaf Crocodile of all 9 of Norstein's short films\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst ever U.S. Blu-ray release for Norstein's short films\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIncludes feature-length documentary MAKING THE OVERCOAT about Norstein's legendary, unfinished project 'The Overcoat'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew commentary tracks by film scholar Michael Brooke\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew visual essay by film historian Evan Chester\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlu-ray authoring by David Mackenzie of Fidelity In Motion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMost complete release of Norstein's films ever put out on Blu-ray\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCast \u0026amp; Crew\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eActors:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"a-unordered-list a-vertical\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMariya Vinogradova\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVyacheslav Nevinnyy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAleksey Batalov\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDirector:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Yuri Norstein\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbit DVD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45613248544812,"sku":"850066568545U","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/the-short-films-of-yuri-norstein-treasures-of-soviet-animation-vol-3-limited-edition-used-used-blu-ray-850066568545u-6616595.jpg?v=1782320598","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/the-short-films-of-yuri-norstein-treasures-of-soviet-animation-vol-3-used","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
