 World-Class Animation Critic | A very lightweight but enjoyable short about an ant who is blown from the top of his tree, and his adventures in getting home with the sometimes reluctant help of various other insects. I wonder whether the Soviet authorities got nervous about the image of the red ants living in a sort of xenophobic fortress. Not bad, and has some amusing moments, but Soyuzmultfilm produced more memorable and artistic stuff than this (I should probably note that if other critical reviews are anything to go by, I'm being a bit tough on this and 'Old Stair'.) |
