What The Night Before Christmas Is About
An animated film from Gogol’s story of the same name.

The sisters Valentina and Zinaida Brumberg directed; it was the third feature-length animation made at Soyuzmultfilm. It was made with the rotoscope technique the studio was trying at the time, meaning the movement was filmed first with real actors and then drawn over; well known actors including Mikhail Yanshin, Alexei Gribov, Nikolai Gritsenko and Vera Maretskaya provided the voices. The music draws on Rimsky-Korsakov. It was finished in 1951 and first shown on 4 March 1952.
