Soviet Animation

Soviet animation refers to animated films and shorts produced in the Soviet Union from the early 20th century until its dissolution in 1991. Known for its distinctive artistic style, innovative techniques, and often philosophical or moral themes, Soviet animation was created for both entertainment and education. Studios like Soyuzmultfilm produced classic works such as "Hedgehogs in the Fog" and "The Snow Queen." These animations often incorporated traditional folk art, symbolism, and layered storytelling, reflecting Soviet cultural values and artistry, and have left a lasting legacy in the world of animated cinema.
