I heard about this animator from a colleague in the English department who is a big fan, so I was pleased to see Norstein's work in the Animation Unlimited book.
His film is on YouTube in parts because it is 27 minutes long. He uses the technique of traditional drawn animation and he is considered to be an innovative animation director. He was born in Moscow in 1943 and worked on some 50 films as an animation artist.
Tale of Tales was made in 1978 and is widely regarded as his masterpiece. It is based on photographs of houses and old cars in the Moscow neighbourhood where Norstein grew up and is exquisitely detailed.
