More Russian movies

[Natalie Kononenko]

I would recommend Гарри Барден, Кот в сапогах.  It is an animated film
based on Perrault.  It has a very interesting presentation of various
nationalities.  I showed it in class last year and plan to do so again.  It
is long for an animated piece - some 30-40 min.
