A Negro Fairytale

A Negro Fairytale (1937) is an animated short you can watch online on iFILM. Director Alexander Evmenenko packs the whole thing into twelve minutes. The plot keeps a fable's logic: a clever hare outsmarts a cruel lion.

It's a piece of hand-drawn Soviet animation from the 1930s, the kind worth a look if you collect early cartoon work and its rough, drawn-by-hand charm. Leonid Pirogov supplies the voice. Stream A Negro Fairytale (1937) online on iFILM.
