Thoughts on Yuri Norstein's Films

Hedgehog in the Fog: I thought it was beautifully animated especially I loved the tree it looked so real. (I loved how realistic the tree looked). I felt as if the path of the story journey where you don’t know you are going and you are skeptical but it’s a nice little adventure, much like the journey the Hedgehog himself took.

The Tale of Tales: Leeper said that we should be able to understand it and shocker I didn’t, but he also said take what you can and enjoy what it is (and that made just made me think of the Hedgehog because that's what he did on his adventure). And even though I don’t understand it I still am able to like some parts for example the lit doorway, the cloth blowing in the wind, the train, the couples dancing and the story behind it. Something that I thought was, of course confusing, but also interesting was the some scenes and subjects repeated themselves two or three times. A few things I wish I understood are, why was the bull jumping rope and when the wolf took the glowing paper why did it turn into a baby?  

The Battle of Cryogenics (church history stuff) and The Vixen and Hare (the hare was trying to get his house back from the fox) were also shown but they didn’t capture my attention as much as the other two did.
