Fox and the Hare Reviews

'The Fox and the Hare' is Yuri Norstein's take on an old Russian folk tale and as in all of his films, we are pulled into the characters' lives through the beautiful simplicity of the character designs, done by the artist Francesca Yarbusova. They create personalities full of soul and emotion. I've always admired Yuri for his honesty and absolute devotion to the art of animation and his talent of creating an enchanted and very unique world for each of his masterpieces. I like to take time and study his beautiful graphics, discovering new details each time I look at them.'
