A very charming Russian animation
Another Russian animation gem I discovered back then in the late 90s thanks to Stories from My Childhood.
While the dubbed version included in that series it's pretty charming, as usual, the original it's a better film overall: While the dub is relatively faithful to the original (At least compared with the usual liberties taken by anime dubs from the same age) some dialogues, pieces of the soundtrack and even the order of a couple of scenes were altered.
In addition to that, the original Russian voices were more fitting for the characters and the dialogues had a more poetical feel.
I still appreciate a lot Stories from my Childhood for introducing me to the golden age of Russian animation, but if you have the chance to watch these films in their original languaje, don't miss it: These movies have the same timeless "magic" of many classic Disney films.
