Very beautiful story!

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2005)

I wanted to watch this film very much. It's difficult to do for me because it's not showed in Russia. But I've found it (!) somehow. I have to say that it's one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. It really is a masterpiece. Of course, I'm not even trying to compare it with NIGHTMARE BEFORE Christmas, they are different. Anyway, I liked it very very very much. I like almost all of Berton's works, but cartoons - most of all. He should make them more often! So, everybody should watch it - children and grownups. It's not scary at all - well, I didn't notice anything scary there - it's amazing. Everything is interesting - the idea (something about Russian and Jewish folk tales) and the kind of animation. It's the greatest thing - animation with dolls, not with computer characters. It's that kind of art that you can touch and feel. So, altogether these components make a very lovely picture. I'm sure all the fans of Tim Berton's works should like it.
