Product Description
The artists featured on the second volume of Image Entertainment
and Jove Films' enchanting Masters of Russian Animation, in their
decision to abandon the real world in favor of one over which they
have complete control, knew full well the inherent power of images.
Each of the twelve short films presented on the disc, spanning a
broad range of styles and moods, is more astounding than the next.
Unfettered by the laws of nature, the animator's vision is of the
purest essence, limited only by the boundaries of their imagination
(a lesson well learned by modern visionaries like Tim Burton and
the Brothers Quay). Given the oppressive conditions under which
these films were created -- Russia has never been a bastion of free
speech and unrestrained creativity -- the decidedly upbeat message
delivered by most of the shorts came as somewhat of a surprise^Ethe
overall picture painted is glaringly positive.
