Here is a delightful short from Sergei Ovcharov, who seems to be equally underrepresented in both western and russian p2p communities. The only meaningful snippet about this short I could find on the web comes from the Film Society Of Lincoln Center:

Quote:
Part of a comic serial that plays with mythical, literary and actual characters in world history/culture, Russian Dreams is a whimsical animation that sends up Russian folkloric characters and traditions with a fond appreciation and a uniquely madcap style of computer animation that should win Ovcharov new admirers in the West.



All I'm going to add is that this short was a pure delight to watch despite rather poor rip quality. Ovcharov, a director of several feature films, here turns to computer animation, which in his hands produces surreally realistic characters (until I read the review, I could not figure out if they were real or animated; I'm still not so sure). Take a look at the screenshots, I'm sure they'll be more convincing than whatever review I could summon
