5.0 out of 5 stars Great Andersen's story, great movie for kids, February 5, 2002
By Y. Boykov (Princeton, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This movie is one of the best fairy tale movies made for kids in Russia (in 60's, I believe). It is based on a classical story by Andersen. Disney lovers might find this a valuable addition to their collection.

This DVD presents the movie like I never saw it before (previously I saw it only on a black and white TV). The movie is digitally restored. Great colors and 5.1 surround sound. The DVD is made for Image Entertainment by RUSCICO. Russian, English, and French dubbing (Can't comment on the quality of the last two.)

Note that this DVD presents a feature movie. There is also an excellent cartoon version of "Snow Queen" made in Russia - see "Stories from my childhood" DVD series released by Film By Jove with English, French, and Spanish (but no original Russian) soundtracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful children's classic, January 3, 2006
By www.DavidLRattigan.com (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
  
I was ecstatic when I received my copy of The Snow Queen. It always seemed to be on TV in the 1980s, and it was a childhood favourite of mine. I must admit I watched the dubbed version; I usually loathe dubbing, but this was the version I watched as a child, and it wouldn't be the same to me without it. However, there is the option of watching with the original Russian dialogue with English subtitles. The transfer is great, and is presented in its original ratio. Cinematography and colours are lush, and the film hits a brilliant chord of childlike fantasy. Love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The definitive version, May 24, 2004
If you saw this on BBC television in the 1960's you will remember the "Northern Lights" curtaining effect at the snow queens palace and Kai doing an ice puzzle. (You may not remember the lady inkwell, as I think this may have been cut for television - not essential to the story). The transfer is faultless. Buy it now

2.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Fairy Tale, destorted, but different.
This movie to me was like yellow snow! Yah it was really silly. In fact it was just as silly as "Morozko". Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars This is not the classic Snow Queen story.
I was very disappointed in this production of the Snow Queen. Considering the time it was produced I can see why all religious elements were deleted from the tale. Read more
