Like I said, Animation is an art form, and in a few countries in the world, there are some excellant animation; especially in Japan and The Soviet. My first glimpse of animation from Russia are shorts that were dubbed in english in a TV show from Film Roman called "Animated Classic Showcase."

I now confess that Russia's Soyuzmultfilm Studios make excellant animated shorts and films like this wonderful adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy story - The Snow Queen, which is another favorite of mine. In 1960, the film had been dubbed in english along with a live-action prologue to go with it; And a top-notch voice cast like :
· Sandra Dee ... Gerda
· Tommy Kirk ... Kay
· Louise Arthur ... The Snow Queen
· June Foray ... Henrietta,The Count Raven
· Paul Frees ... Ol Dreamy/Mr. Corax the Raven
· Patricia McCormack ... Angel,The Robber Girl
