Peter & the Wolf

Breathtaking animation plus Prokofiev's music equals a great atmosphere. The first five minutes of the film reminded me of many things, but certainly not Peter and the Wolf (the version with Karel Höger as the narrator). But then the music finally started, and the story began to unfold, altered in many ways, but still the same, which is very impressive thanks to the admirable processing, playful, alternating happier moments with tension as if from a horror movie. When it came to the finale, I found that the aforementioned introduction really made sense, and I liked the different ending (in the original version, the wolf ends up in the zoo) perhaps even more than the original.
