yes i think so too :)

[@KarlPHorse]

Well, it is made by the same animator. Igor Kovalyov. The guy is fucking awesome.

[@screaming1179]

Karl P. Horse yeah I just now found that out

[@thepopcornguywithextrabutt4576]

Ive seen it too, it was the weirdest/trippiest animation ive ever seen

[@jakjon5147]

This video is so nostalgic and I love the non talking, makes it more suspenseful

[@v4nnyz]

Been looking for the person behind Hen, His Wife(similar styles) and this seems to be it. Thank you for posting it and including credit!

[@Emilyquindlen]

same !!!!!!!!!

[@BlackusGatus]

Igor Kovalyov is the creator of hen, his wife.

[@ouchseries1377]

I remember watching these type of cartoons when I used to live in Ukraine.... Its been more than 10 years and I still have nightmares about "baba yaga"

[@traceursebas]

Is there a Baba Yaga animation that you are referring to?

[@CuddlyTheMadElite]

That blanket sound effect makes the blanket appear like it's completely made out of paper.

[@chrissyweaver3475]

Whenever the master wakes up, there's a "murder" of crows, the master gives life/resources (eggs) away to the higher ups (boar), and he stands close to death (cliff) a lot, but the blood is on the servant's hand and not the masters? Like he's trying to frame or blame him. The female servant "falling for him" is evident, but her not necessarily consenting to the sex is strange, like it was forced. I think the empty drawers shows that he is actually not wealthy and uses his servants to make him just appear that way. It is his servants that are actually in control (their movements in reverse).

[@chrissyweaver3475]

Also, the sickle in her hand may be a symbol of communism (equality, no classes, no money).

[@akhun6046]

Impressive !!!

[@dylanfox9026]

woah, you're really brilliant I didn't process this

[@TakehisaYuji]

group of crows doesn't mean "murder" in Russian tho

[@Ramblin-Man]

Remember this was made in Ukraine during the last, shivering days of CCCP/SSSR/Soviet Union (which collapsed in Dec. 1991 when Gorbatjev held that speech on TV where he resigned). And Igor Kovalyov (who just turned 70) moved to the US and worked with 'Rugrats' cartoons (incl. the 1998 movie). Mila Kunis had already left Ukraine in 1991 and Olga Kurylenko left for a model career in Paris in 1997, which lead to a Hollywood career...🙄

Same guy Igor Kovayalov

[@Claytone-Records]

Franquis, I found out shortly after posting that comment that it was indeed Kovayalov and of course it had to be. I have watched the films several times since. Thanks for your comment.

[@Fr_OE]

@@Claytone-Records I'm glad you found him. I found his work a little over half a year ago when I found little to no meaning in my existence. I was thinking of taking my own life. These animations are what saved my life and helped put things into perspective for me. You should absolutely check out another animation named Triangulo, it's in a similar style and carries similar artistic value kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3zRaYhngc6GpsU

[@Claytone-Records]

Franquis, Thanks for the Triangulo link, I will look at it after this note. I too almost took my life years ago when I was in great despair. I am glad that you found that spark of inspiration to hang onto. I look for sustenance in music, films and in life as well as we cannot have anything without life, no matter how painful. Please stay strong although I know this world of life so often makes us feel helpless. C.

[@gilperez3581]

I'm curious as to what prompts this style of animation. Surely different countiries are part of the reason, just wondering if it can be expalined much like Picasso's style can be explained.

The animation somehwat remesbles that of Klasky-Csupo.

[@blastazoidgaming9144]

Emmanuel Dunk the animator worked on Rugrats

[@shaneworden63]

Au contraire, Emmanuel. The whole company of Klasky Csupo relies on European art for their cartoons as well. Plus, they had high production value for them with the top-notch voice casting familiar and unfamiliar, really high morale, and giving their mentioned art style a spotlight in the Western animation field, given that Gabor Csupo was a Budapest-born Hanna Barbera animator. Not to mention that they hired loads of foley artists (most notably Laura Macias, Sharon Michaels, Anita Cannella, and Dustin O'Halloran) to make their shows' atmospheres feel believable as ours. For me and all of us, that is proven why the studio was deemed to be so unique and inspiring over decades, starting in the 90s. I heard that they're having a comeback, and I'm squealing with joy right now!!

[@emmanueldunk8290]

@@shaneworden63 I've already heard that there is going to a revival of Rugrats. I know Gabor Csupo originally came from Hungary though I also feel that Arlene Klasky also influenced the general art style for KC since she is Jewish and many Jewish Americans have direct roots from Eastern Europe.

[@shaneworden63]

@@emmanueldunk8290 One thing, Emmanuel. Here's some information I like to share about the Foley process. It's one of the most integral and creative jobs in not just post-production sound but filmmaking, even I was intrigued into this subject. Most notable foley artists include John Roesch, Alyson Dee Moore, Gregg Barbanell, Catherine Harper, Dennie Thorpe, Jana Vance, Sarah Monat, and Robin Harlan. After all, using my array of voices and SFX vocalizations is my game too. I'm also autistic, but that doesn't stop me from accomplishing my goals.

[@shaneworden63]

[@MissTaylorRobertson]

This short depicts a deceitful relationship between two servants and the master, living on a small farm in the Russian countryside. The master is caught acting suspiciously, writing a letter in secret and has been caught collecting eggs from the side of a cliff, and not to mention an affair with the female servant. The manservant was shocked when he saw the master feeding eggs to a boar. To the master's shame he set the boar off into the wild. Later, due to a mental collapse, the master committed suicide, naked. Afterwords the manservant follows the woman towards the cliff where the master committed suicide.

[@billcornelius1383]

yes and the broken window was caused by the houses bad foundation which caused the building to shift, signifying the owners crumbling morals. The disappearing footprints and shoes mean the deeds were forgotten (got that from Cliff's Notes) :)

[@iakusz]

"The witness throughout the film is in fact the boy Igor Kovalyov. Andrei Svislotsky is set in Kovalyov’s summer home of Bucha. He would spend many summers there with his grandparents. The film is an ode to the sights and sounds of childhood. This is a mysterious adult world seen through the eyes of an uncomprehending child and an adult trying to collect and direct those memories. We observe people every day. Assumptions, thoughts, feelings, reactions appear and fade every minute. We assume relationships based on body language and gestures. Movements. It solidifies our own existence. We give them names to understand our own complexities. It gives us order, wholeness, temporary peace."
