Synopsis
The Humpbacked Horse (1947) is a hand-drawn Soyuzmultfilm cartoon you can watch online on iFILM, adapted from Pyotr Yershov's beloved verse fairy tale. A peasant boy named Ivan catches a wild mare one night, and she rewards him with a tiny, two-humped magic horse.
A stern tsar has set his heart on the Tsar-Maiden and orders Ivan to bring her from the edge of the world. On his own the simple lad wouldn't stand a chance, but his little horse fetches the Firebird, a ring from the seabed, and the maiden herself. The voice cast includes Anatoly Kubatsky, Georgy Vitsin and Georgy Millyar.
It was directed by Ivan Ivanov-Vano, a founding father of Soviet animation, who drew the film in a bright folk-print style full of pattern and pageantry. A warm, colorful tale for the whole family. Stream The Humpbacked Horse (1947) online on iFILM.
