Illustrations from Hedgehog in the Fog
The Russian LiveJournal community Kidpix published some illustrations with part of the text (in Russian) from the book "Ёжик в тумане", known as "Hedgehog in the Fog". "Hedgehog in the Fog" was at first a Soviet animated film directed by Yuriy Norshteyn, produced by the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow. This classic animation was released in 1975, based on Sergei Grigoryevich Kozlov's script. However, in 2006 Norshteyn published the book under the same name, listing himself as an author along with Kozlov.
The film won the Teheran's Children's and Youth Film Festival of 1976 as "best animated film", and Frunze's All-Union Film Festival in the category "best animated film" in the same year. In 2003 the film was voted as "№1 Animated film of all the time" at "All time animation best 150 in Japan and Worldwide" contest in Tokyo. If you don't know this wonderful animation, watch it on YouTube or bellow (10min) with English subtitles:

Hi Marceli, thanks so much for your kind words and the link. I take a look at your blog, but even enjoying the characters, I couldn't understand (you was right). But I subscribe to it, to check it from time to time, specially the animations, as you suggest.
See you!
