Ghibli Museum
In September 2007, it was announced that Studio Ghibli will be distributing "The Snow Queen" through their Ghibli Museum Library label and it was released in December 2007 (in the original Russian audio with Japanese subtitles). The same time Ghibli released "The Snow Queen", they also released the 1976 film "The Steadfast Tin Soldier" by Lev Milchin.
