Geese-Swans Audience Reviews

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Horst in Translation ([email protected]) "Gusi-lebedi" or "Geese Swans" is an 18-minute (at least the version I saw) cartoon from 1949. If you read the names Ivan Ivanov-Vano and Aleksandra Snezhko-Blotskaya who made this one, you will know immediately that this is an animated movie. And a pretty good one. I think it needed a little while to get going, but the sequences towards the end with the two children and the witch were a pretty exciting watch. The animation is also convincing for almost 70 years ago and pretty much on par with what Americans did during that time (Disney and Warner Bros.). And this film has a hedgehog, which is a personal plus with me as I love this animal, even if he does not really have that much screen time. All in all, a good watch with some dramatic moments and a good story. I recommend you to check it out.
ewevrij One of the greatest fairytale animations of it's era. In a classic fairytale structure, somewhere in between the Grimm fairy tales "Hansl & Gretl" ( Witch wanting to eat the brother) and "Frau Holle" (Girl getting rewarded for helping an oven, an apple-tree etc.)Left in charge of her little brother as her parents go to town, Mashenka leaves him alone for a little while to play with her friends. The little boy get's abducted by a group of geese-swans in service of the witch Baba-Yaga Mashenka set's out to free him, and receives help from an oven, a brook, an apple-tree and later a hedgehogThe IMDb wrongly credits Ivan Ivanov-Vano for the co-direction, but it's co-directed by Albert Ivanov, next to Alexandra Snezhko-Blotskaya. Unfortunately the IMDb is very incomplete and unreliable for Russian animation. Ivan was working at " The stranger's voice" at the time.See http://www.animator.ru/db/?ver=eng&p=show_film&fid=2982. for the correct credits.
