Strange Thing

1987 · 9 min

A breezy, playful little cartoon that drifts along like a nursery rhyme, full of silly invention and a child's-eye wonder at the world.

Directed by
Borys Khranevych
Genres
Animation
Overview
Humorous tales about the life of a little boy. About how he was born without a father and mother, how he was hit by a snow lying on the oven in his hut, how he walked into the woods being a kid, and the miraculous things he had seen there. In his fantasies he could fly, make friends with birds, climb trees, and most importantly – do it all in infancy and without looking at anyone else. Based on poems by Stepan Rudanskyi.
How it feels
Whimsical, light, warm and absurd. Brisk and easy to follow.

Content
