Here are some positive reviews for "The Snow Queen."



http://www.afisha.ru/movie/212279/

Not to say that a cartoon did not have any issues, but he gave me a pleasant surprise. C the very first scene you can appreciate how good panache - an exciting chase for the master of the north wind is really impressive. Well, on the film does not disappoint.

Characters also quite nice - except through positive Gerda, in this film there is a troll with a very charming manners (though not too cute by itself), plus a small militant weasel, which you just can not be touched. Well, in general, of course, the film is all of a such a nice, bright and new year - great for having fun at parties, in my opinion.

Amazing and rare situation - in the domestic box office two cartoon. And that is important - both Russian-made. When is it? Choice was made in favor of "The Snow Queen", just with all the heroes are already familiar. I think you can not regret the choice. Cartoon quality and breathtakingly beautiful. Of this magnitude, neither I nor any of the others, who were my company, do not expect. Seriously impressive. The plot is a bit clumsy to go, but there is in it a couple of plots that are saving the situation, distract attention. Therefore, from myself and the rest looked a confident state that cartoon like. Caress the troll funny.

Amazingly cute Christmas cartoon. Not to say that it was all of a adult, but his family go, definitely can. And for a cartoon company, I think, will not seem boring. Many dynamic action scenes, good humor (which is typical, without vulgarity), it is "live" characters and essentially correct, though somewhat naive ideas about the value of family, friendship, loyalty, and other wonderful things.

"Heroes," of course, are cartoon serious competition, but still on the genre they are very different, so I see no reason not to go to both. All the more so because the troll Orme gorgeous voiced Okhlobystin.

Great cartoon, right takes pride for our domestic animation. Previously, this could only say the traditional "flat" animation, but in the "Snow Queen" 3d-show-off, such that it is really nice to see.

On the whole cartoon quite on the level - fast, good balance between dramatic and humorous moments, naive, but in general a good dialogue, cool voice (unmistakable Ohlobystina), in general, one big joy. I personally loved it.

"The Snow Queen" is taking its first steps in the Russian box (trailer)
http://culturavrn.ru/video/8387

"The most important New Year's Adventure" - a slogan chosen the authors animated film "Snow Queen". The painting was created in Voronezh in the studio Wizart animation, work lasted three years. Together with the director Maxim Sveshnikov and Vladlen Barbe on tape worked a hundred animators. Movie rental company does Timur Bekmambetov Bazelevs Distribution. Critics say that the main character was a troll Orme, who announced Ivan Okhlobystin. This character is overshadowed all other members of this magical story.

Critics of the cartoon "The Snow Queen": visual soundly, with the rest of the problem.

Cartoon "The Snow Queen", created in Voronezh in the studio Wizart animation, for the fourth day demonstrated in Russian cinemas. The network has a host of audience response to the film. Half - enthusiastic, half - abusive. Critic Reviews are only beginning to emerge.

Directed by Maxim Sveshnikov and Vladlen Barbe worked on the film for three years, and with them, the animators - artists from Voronezh, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Omsk and other Russian cities. Ambitious project budget was $ 7 million. One of the producers of the picture made himself Timur Bekmambetov.

Maxim Sveshnikov said in an interview that making a film is not for critics. But critics can not remain silent - the profession requires.

Here are the first reactions to the "Snow Queen" from Voronezh:

"From Voronezh Wizart animation studio expected the domestic animation at least proves the ability not to lose face. I must say that the show - "The Snow Queen (2012)," the level of performance is unlikely to yield the western animation, the rest - more details ... I was surprised: the creators of the cartoon, following the current fashion, we decided to bring your creation to their Western counterparts. Namely, to radically change the story. In particular, little Gerda and Kai in this case - not the neighbors' children, and siblings. It's probably a bad thing: sister love is strong, motivating girls becoming clearer. But the most surprising fact is that the writers have come up with something that is not even the snivsheesya Anderson. The queen appeared courtier who loves to talk a troll, which magically voiced Ivan Okhlobystin. But the problem is that it is gradually becoming a major troll hero of the tale. All the other things are secondary. It is difficult to say whether this is good or bad, but it was hardly the authors originally intended. "

Valery Kovalevich, ovideo.ru


"All of the modern global standard full-length animation shot in technology 3D. In short, the visual side no questions. But they appear when viewing the authors script Vadim and Maxim Sveshnikov. Yes, the script and the film based on the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen. But the authors of many of the characters radically upgraded. The robbers were pirates of neighborhood children Kai and Gerda became brother and sister. And the theme of love gone forgiving and patient, it took the promise to each other, and love for all. Agree, when my sister comes to rescue his brother, that's another story. All scenarios liberties seem trivial, compared with a special character. In the Snow Queen servant appeared - Troll. The character in the film is the main thing that is certainly meets modern animated fashion. In every popular Hollywood-length project is a character, the problem which does not allow the viewer to get bored. The essence of the character of this hero of "bad-funny-a noble soul", the challenge - get your own, or to provoke a variety of situations - a trap for the main characters. That replica actions Troll in a small film (80 minutes) is too samoigralnye, overtighten the attention from the main stories - Gerda is a brave save Kai. And sometimes confrontation Touches and Troll prescribed carefully than motivation actions Gerda and other human characters. In my opinion, it would be a movie called "Troll and The Snow Queen."

Vita Ramm, proficinema.ru.


"Loudly declared itself as a" main Christmas adventure "cartoon called" The Snow Queen "was actually another remake of a dummy. In fact, apart from the visual component in the creation of the watch more than that. Characters are sluggish, except that the hero Ohlobystina sometimes laugh, and everything is boring and sulfur. "

Dominic Cobb, kinopoisk.ru

We are waiting for the other reviews, and the first reports of the box office movie.

VORONEZH IN THE PREMIERE OF "THE SNOW QUEEN" ARRIVED IVAN OKHLOBYSTIN
http://36.unise.ru/news/5/62890&usg=ALk ... cuQumnvA8w

In Voronezh, December 24, a week before nationwide premiere, a show of local animators animated masterpiece "The Snow Queen". Show came to Voronezh popular actor Ivan Okhlobystin, whose voice speaks cartoon troll Orme.

Cartoon caused an unprecedented stir among the townspeople. See "The Snow Queen" and Ohlobystina the cinema "Spartacus" received hundreds of Voronezh. Tickets to the show were sold out long before the aforesaid date.

At a meeting with the audience Okhlobystin shared his impressions of the work on the sound system and the picture from the cartoon. "For this film, I can not be objective. But one thing for sure: we have cartoons like fairy tales - one, two and a handful. In Russia now do very little cartoons, mostly movies. But after all, it was cartoons, children are reviewed every ten. And what a cartoon created in Voronezh I think just a "miracle of God."

Okhlobystin noted many similarities with his multgeroya Ormom. One of them, according to the actor, is pechorinskoe throw from good to evil. "I have all the time he sang, such as" Boots. " But the authors of this cut. After all, "The Snow Queen" will be shown in the U.S., and there (they) do not know our songs "- told Okhlobystin.

On the "Snow Queen" is about three years working animators from Voronezh INLAY Studio. Writer was author of famous cartoon about the adventures of Ilya Muromets Dobrinya and Alyosha Popovich Maxim Sveshnikov. Producing and promoting the cartoon to the West engaged in Timur Bekmambetov.

Another review for "The Snow Queen."
http://www.kino-teatr.ru/kino/art/pr/2726/

The very first trailer for "The Snow Queen," laid out a couple of years ago, the Internet has promised the Russian audience a stunning spectacle, so many were waiting for the premiere look. And in terms of effektnosti cartoon justify high expectations: beautiful landscapes, crazy camera rides, the actual installation. Not surprisingly, "The Snow Queen" is bought in 20 countries, and with a few more producers are negotiating.

Generally, in this film are all very fashionable. Beginning with the story. Andersen converted to the new style, not much, but to add to it a different additional motivation and intrigue. Film begins with a presentation by "The Snow Queen" is bent on ridding the world of artists and systematically destroys all the way up to the wonderful zerkalschika (wizard) Vegard, in a magic mirror that reflects the true essence of things and people. However, this queen is not enough: a few years later she sent her slave-troll in search of children master. So in this story are drawn Kai and Gerda: straight boy from the orphanage sent to the back of the North Wind in the cold embrace of icy beauty, and Gerda accidentally "slips" and even a troll drags along. Now they both get to the foot Ice Palace. Girl - to save his brother, and the troll - to do the job owner. No you old-fashioned simplicity, and solid bells and whistles that have been adopted in the current movie.

The picture is also very modern, rich and mostly done with great taste. Moments of the film can even take some of the Hollywood blockbuster. Winter world, through which travel with Gerda trolling, absolutely mesmerizing beauty of its computer glamorous (though good and the small islands of the summer, present, such as in a magic garden), interiors pleasing to the eye, great palace of the Queen invented the strange ice goblins, ice-covered ship of Though snow looks weird but stylish, and flash rate, representing the war troll, makes a pleasant break in the three-dimensional world. Gerda herself - beautiful, even on the cover of a glossy magazine. The eyes are large and blue, fashionable coat, boots (and they show a close-up, almost with macro shooting) - though of advertising luxury shoe store. Next cute animal, a white cloth with a gentle caress (and asking for a coat or collar). All, as in the best homes.

At the height of fashion and voice, which had been hired for a galaxy of stars. And Nyusha here and Okhlobystin Ivan and Galina Tyunina and Lisa Arzamasova , Dmitry Nagiyev , Yuri Stoyanov , Anna Ardov . Even the producer is steep - Timur Bekmambetov .

If you look closely, one finds a lot of shortcomings. Are matters of some characters, even almost all the secondary characters that are not too charmingly designed and not well executed. Pretty much you can see the plot inconsistencies. The most obvious of these are due to the fact that Kay and Gerda on the original plan were not brother and sister (at that point early trailers and synopsis of the film), this idea was clearly inscribed already in the final stages of production (as if it belongs to Bekmambetov) when it was already impossible to alter a number of scenes. From this, of course, did not work any good: the logic of the original story was destroyed, and the new is not completely formed, leaving the mind attentive viewer confusion and many questions. But this, and many other conditions can forgive the film for the overall "coolness."

Much harder to go through that at all encroached. Children all the same, but the adult audience will invariably compare new "snow" to the one of the old , great, images and ideas which were printed on the retina and subcortical brain. Is not this little robber in the new movie? That it is against the little robber. Is this the Queen in the new movie? Yes it is - a doll against that kind of queen. Is this Gerd - Heroine? Yes it in his coat fashionable and beautiful boots - no one is against the poorly dressed girl who walked barefoot through the snow to his brother named. Without camera rides and special effects that forced Gerda heart stopping when Signal on a deer with high cliffs and then jumped on the cracked ice, and the words spoken by Fink sounded like a sentence to this inhuman deed "Stronger than it is, no one can do it. What could be more perfect heart?," and immediately after that, a tiny deer Gerda jumped half delirious just like it is, without coats and boots, and raced back through the cold of the night, until the deer did not fall to the ground. A Finn-what Finn shouted at her trail, almost crying, "Put on your fur coat, fur coat!" And with it, the audience burst into tears.

Alas, for all the luxuries of screen in the new "Snow" is not a tenth of the passion that lies in the old movie Lion Atamanova. Well that compare? Films such as TA "The Snow Queen" - only a couple of dozen in the history of animation.

If we forget about the Hamburg score, then this "Snow Queen" is not completely bad. She is able to please, amuse, and even touch, for sure, many people will have a good time for the winter holidays. And if you look at the Russian bezrybe, and does it turns out that this is one of our best animated feature for the entire post-Soviet period.

Tale of childhood or "zakos" under Hollywood?
http://vb.by/article.php?topic=4&article=18367

In Brest show new 3D tape "The Snow Queen"
What will go: the "Hobbit" and "The Snow Queen?" - I inquired of young ones in unexpected happened additional output. Trailer for "The Snow Queen" seemed to them more convincing. And rightly so: "The Hobbit" is twice as long and includes two parts. The children do not like movies where there is no end ... And we went to the queen.

This - not the first 3D, which our moviemakers bring to the big screen. But perhaps one of the best at the moment. There is a beautiful and big-protagonists, and charismatic supporting characters - all that so typical of Hollywood box office performances. But, as already noted by some viewers, not the budget, and it shows. No, no, the film is quite good. But some absolutely not ours. I even rechecked several times - but is it really Russian animation? It turned out, yes.

The storyline is not much different from the classic fairy tale by Andersen. The authors tried several different accents, to introduce the concept on which the art of authorizing a special power. But it turned out pretty flat and featureless. But the origin of the Snow Queen - girl wizard who nobody liked - it seemed a good solution. Especially because in the end it became all-consuming evil still good. And it is much more correct than the idea of ​​the struggle against evil. The rest of the characters are familiar to us - this is a crazy flower girl, and the king and queen, and robbers. They just tried to give a different character, not more. But the script - and this is not one I said - seemed very poor. Yes, promises were correct, but crumpled, as if taken from the ceiling. Children, of course, all the same, but the parents - no. Everything is relative, and if you remember the recent American film "Guardians of Dreams", the latter wins the emotion and intensity of the plot. And time is the same - a half hour.

Well, a few words about 3D. If you only walk on it - then do not. Russians have a three-dimensional picture is rather weak, sometimes vague and inexpressive. Really bright three-dimensional frames were very few. And their implementation is not very impressive. In fact, looking at the picture in the usual format, so you will not lose anything.

Summary: Cartoon watchable, the picture is beautiful, a little intrigue, a great Russian animators a little insulting. Ideal for going to the cinema at the weekend.

Rating: 7 out of 10

Hot Ice "Snow Queen." Why Russians choose cartoons
http://vesti.lv/society/theme/report/73493.html

The second week of march continues Riga screens animated 3-D "The Snow Queen." The premiere took place on December 27 at the same time with the country of origin of Russia, and is now showing Multikino and Cinamon in Russian and Latvian versions.

Gaming and animated versions of Andersen's fairy tales, there are a dozen. In terms of fidelity to the original director of Maxim Sveshnikov variation rests somewhere in between. It can not be - because the author of "heroic" Russian animation series XXI century used freely enough to deal with literary material, which in itself is unorthodox. Tale after all! Therefore, many of the details in the film about the story of Kai and Gerda changed, relegated to the background, if not replaced with new characters and storylines. However, the result is a fascinating, spectacular and, it must be noted, is a very positive show. What impresses - with beautiful Russian language, which, unfortunately, is often replaced by a dull imitation of American slang in translations toon. It was in the original version of the film plays all sides, and if fading in terms of the state, there is a claim must be presented to the local "localizers", but not the author.

"The Queen" - is not a computer game, and the synthesis of genres. The film "drew" three years in Voronezh in the studio Inlay Film. For every 12 seconds here have a special effect, all of them in the film more than a thousand. No wonder one of the producers of the picture - Timur Bekmambetov, megamaster "Watch." Study of images and information from Wizart Animation plus voice worth $7 million. Speaking of sound: your author a couple of days pondering why suddenly had the impression from shebutnogo Troll passed a way from the Snow Queen's henchman to companion Gerda? Not yet learned that his voice-over was Ivan Okhlobystin! From celebrities to the "Snow Queen" speak as Dmitry Nagiyev and Yuri Stoyanov. But the singer song "Shine clear" we learned right away - this is our Reynard Cowper. Poetry is the music written Brainstorm Riga poet Sergei Timofeev. All worthy.

Cartoons in Russia - is the actual trend. According to the results of 2012, the highest grossing film produced in the country, was "Ivan Tsarevich and the Grey Wolf" (fee - $ 24 million). The absolute leaders rolled steel imports "Ice Age IV" and "Madagascar III" ($ 50 million). Other highbrow critic frowns: that the infantilization of society! In fact, the opposite - an indicator of recovery company. Increased attendance at cinemas cartoons means that Russian choosing a family holiday and that they have more children, they take time. Against this background, the next "Chainsaw Massacre," which hit a record of attendance in the United States in early 2013, does not indicate the normal subconscious of the nation ...

Reading books in bed does not preclude view of modern cinema. Similarly, as we have all read Conan Doyle, Holmes, but mostly for us though is Livanov.

Nikita red-eyed.

"The Snow Queen" by Timur Bekmambetov
http://krassever.ru/articles/culture/cinema/39425/

In the New Year holidays at the cinema screens Vologda there is a new animated version of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen." This is another producer project Timur Bekmambetov.

In this interpretation works appear completely new characters. The brightest of them - the hapless troll who first steals Gerda, and then helps her to rescue Kai. Troll announced Ivan Okhlobystin under it and this character specially created.

"The Snow Queen" is created in a short time - for three years instead of the usual five. Animation drawn characters engaged in Voronezh on "Dreamworks" and India. From Andersen left a bit, but there is something to see.

Gerda has to save not only Kai, but the whole world from the realm of ice. Icy world of the Snow Queen from Lapland is very close to the people. The robbers turned into pirates living on the icebound ship. Some new products, such as frozen fish in the icebergs, the audience can not see, but they have been lovingly drawn, as every item in the shop traders, the place-through dialogue.

Directed by Maxim Sveshnikov did not hide that, working on the script, he was consciously guided by the famous Soviet cartoon Lion Atamanova "Snow Queen":

- As a child, he looked at me made a great impression - admitted the director. - I remember Gerda walked barefoot in the snow, as produced from animal cells ... By the way, the last scene in the story, too, because Anderson was not.

Sveshnikov admitted that the Soviet screen version of his work will inevitably be compared, and said any such parallels will be pleasing to him, even if they are not in his favor.

Animation 'Frosty The Kingdom' debuts in theaters on February Brazilians
http://www.infoanimation.com.br/2013/01 ... ia-em.html

Next month the Playarte Pictures debuts in theaters in Brazil the movie "The Kingdom Ice" (Snow Queen), produced in Russia and animation inspired by the fairy tale "The Snow Queen", the author Hans Christian Andersen. The film will be released with copies 2D and 3D on February 22. The production studio is Wizart Animation, directed by Vladlen Barbe and Maxim Sveshnikov.

In "The Ice Kingdom", the Snow Queen planet covered with ice and ordered the destruction of all the arts, to create a new world where the polar wind cools human souls. According to the predictions of a magic mirror, the latest threat to his plans would be in master glassmaker Vegard, whose mirrors reflect people's souls. Then, the polar wind Vegard and kidnaps his wife Una, leaving their children behind Kai and Gerda.

Time passes and the servants of the Queen also end up capturing Kai, believing the boy is the successor of his father. But her sister Gerda, now a very brave girl, will not let this cheap. Embarking on a journey through the kingdom, it will face all obstacles alongside their new friends to save his brother and return to warm people's hearts.

I can't believe that Brazil changed the name from "The Snow Queen" to "Frosty the Kingdom (a ripoff title to "Frosty the Snowman")" or "The Kingdom Ice."

I will say this to Disney fans: IF Disney ever plans to distribute Wizart's "The Snow Queen (after IF they have cancelled their version)," and change the name into "Frozen," I'm going to start a petition, and demand Disney to continue their version as planned!

Say, doesn't the font based on the Brazilian poster of "The Snow Queen" look familiar to the font based on the French poster of Disney's "Frozen?"
