text: I'm still not quite sure that you're right... it's just that there are so many sources that say other things.  For example, here (Russian), it says that 140 animators from around the world were asked to choose their top 20 films and that from this list 150 films were chosen.  The 150 films were put in a certain order and it seems to be by votes - for example, it says that 3rd place (the first two were taken by Hedgehog in the Fog and Tale of Tales) was taken by Disney's Fantasia, though with "far fewer votes" than the first two.  There were 14 Russian films in all, and over a third were Japanese.  This doesn't quite fit with what you're saying, and it seems to me that those results in your link were part of a completely different competition - the competition for films produced in the past year.  I think it might be a good idea to re-add mention of the award to this article, unless you can find a source saying that the order of those 150 films was actually random and not based on votes.

Another plot summary and interpretation:
The hedgehog's nightly walk through the woods to count the stars, drink tea and eat jam with his friend is such a habit he's not even aware of the dangerous owl stalking him. Instead of paying attention, he thinks of the conversation he will have with his friend. He comes upon a beautiful horse standing in the fog. The sight stops his internal dialogue and awakens his sense of wonder. His curiosity about what it might be like to experience a different reality leads him into the fog. He becomes a little afraid in this strange place and calls to the horse, but the horse does not answer him. He examines an oak leaf and a tree as though he has never seen them before. Realizing he has lost his jar of jam, a symbol of comfort and the familiar, his curiosity turns to fear, heightening his sense of danger to the point of being afraid of an obviously friendly dog who, miraculously, restores to him his jam. But someone called the dog with the whistle similar to the Beethoven's V symphony. All the while, faintly in the distance, we hear his friend calling for him. Still frightened, even with his jam, the hedgehog runs blindly through the fog and falls into the river. After a short struggle, he relaxes, literally "goes with the flow", accepts his fate and eventual death without fear. The horse watches him float by and does not attempt to help him. Suddenly, an unseen Someone touched his hind paw and asks, "Who are you and how did you get here?", questions humans (and hedgehogs) have asked themselves for thousands of years. He answers truthfully and simply and his life is saved. He makes his way back to his ordinary world, a changed being. His friend talks and talks, but the hedgehog sits quiet on the right side, joyful at just being together with him again. He thinks of the horse, the symbol of the impersonal wonder, mystery and beauty of existence. This is a story of how to live fully; by being in the "now" and being aware of the world and ourselves as we truly are. "Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid." ~ Frederick Buechner  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.62.12.196 (talk) 20:11, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
