half hour adaptations of shakespeare's plays produced using different animation dick nixon enjoyed international success. russia's biggest commercial success in animation so far is this you response me shari the popularity of the little round bellied characters is so huge that it is season was made to distribute the good to an international but still the real pride of russian animation and non commercial projects real works of art like the recently released harry bard in stop motion the ugly duckling with tchaikovsky's music as the soundtrack only why you should make money out of current would be made at the old is trying to make a new company so use more film. and i think you will have the best people to ask what's the main difference between russian and american approaches to. well old examples what we just saw. we can talk about success when. those aren't really deeply individual basis been made by great artists and. targeted towards. you know mass production of the same episode of the same kind of episode like week after week after week and. the animation is really great and it is great only
