Sweet Cake

Sweet Cake (1937) is a hand-drawn cartoon you can watch online on iFILM. It took two directors, Dmitry Babichenko and Alexander Belyakov, to bring it to the screen. The story runs like a fable: a boastful jackdaw takes on a craft it knows nothing about and learns the hard way that only true professionals get the job right.

Eleven minutes of classic Soviet animation from the 1930s. A good pick for anyone tracing early cartoon work across studios and directors. Stream Sweet Cake (1937) online on iFILM.
