The collapse of the Soviet Union brought to a close the golden era of Soyuzmultfilm. New economic realities made it impossible for the government to support the studio any longer. In 1989, Soyuzmultfilm was made into a leased enterprise (expiring after 10 years) and forced into the capitalist marketplace.

Although the studio survived, it shrank dramatically, losing nearly 90% of its staff and releasing only a few films. One early misfortune happened when the Russian courts transferred the studio's puppet division building (in a legal decision involving many other buildings) to the Russian Orthodox Church. Before the animators could react to this turn of events, an Orthodox Cossack squadron, accompanied by religious locals, broke into the building with swords unsheathed for the purpose of exorcism and began throwing out the "satanic puppets animated with the blood of Christian babies".[5] No studio employees were allowed to come in and salvage any item, despite the presence of much expensive equipment and a whole library of puppets.[6]

The main reason for the collapse, however, was the studio's deliberate dismantling by the new top management and the illegal selling off of its assets for personal gain (see:[7] – in Russian). In 1992–1993, Sergei Skulyabin was elected president.

Among the water-carriers who once resorted to this well, there was a sturdy, strong-backed, bandy-legged little fellow, named Pedro Gil, but called Peregil for shortness. Being a water-carrier, he was a Gallego, or native of Galicia, of course. Nature seems to have formed races of men, as she has of animals, for different kinds of drudgery. In France the shoeblacks are all Savoyards, the porters of hotels all Swiss, and in the days of hoops and hair-powder in England, no man could give the regular swing to a sedan-chair but a bog-trotting Irishman. So in Spain, the carriers of water and bearers of burdens are all sturdy little natives of Galicia. No man says, “Get me a porter,” but, “Call a Gallego.”

Animation directed by Anatoly Petrov. Third of a series of 4 with Eros & Aphrodite Mythological stories. Unique in Russian animation history for their more or less soft erotic content & the experimental use of 2 dimensional handcrafted cell animation means to reach 3 dimensional effects.

The puppet division was located in a separate building from the main division,in what had been a church. After the collaps of the soviet Union the orthodox religious authorities wanted their church back. It went to court but processes about it dragged and dragged, untill there was a band of cossacks that didn't want to wait anymore and took the building back by force.



Russians have vices enough, like impatience, alcohol abuse, revengefullness, but their sexual morality is quite prude. You could even say that thse animations are more about the celebration and enjoyment of the human body and human nature, then to stimulate lust and desire. That celebration is an aspect of ancient greek culture. Like for instance in the original greek olympic games, the contestants were naked and rubbed in with oil, and that was just for the beauty of how that looked. You see that also in the ancient greek statues. Their nakedness serves beauty more then eroticm.



The maker, Anatoly Petrov, was at first hand in the same way, more obsessed with how he could reache a 3 dimensional effect with cell-animation means. For each animated figure he drew 2 layers of animations that, layed over each other caused the 3 d effect. It meant he drew the double amount of drawings, and they had to be extremely precise because they had t fit together. He was soyuzmultfilm most gifted ( & fast drawing!) animator, and the only one that could pull this of. Because of the upcoming computer generated 3 d effect possibilities, the other soyuzmultfilm artists called his technique a dead end street.



But like the greatest Russian animationmakers, like Alexandr Petrov, Youri Norstein, Valentin Olshvang, Anatoly was a firm believer in handcafted animation art. By the way, the animations were made for the Soyuzmultfilm main division, not the puppet division. PS I'll gladly add portuguese subs, when they are made! Just link them in a comment like Yefren often does or mail me about it!

Galateia é uma ninfa imortal do mar que andava em uma carruagem puxada por golfinhos. Certo dia, Galateia se apaixona pelo pastor Ácis. Quando estes estavam se amando, o ciclope Polifemo, que amava Galateia flagrou-os, Ácis começou a fugir, mas o ciclope esmagou-o, a ninfa transforma o sangue do amado no rio Ácis (ou Ácio).



Galateia é uma divindade marítima, filha de Nereu e Dóris. Essa nereida, cujo nome significa a donzela branca, vivia nas costas da Sicília. Passava seu tempo brincando nas ondas do mar. Um dia a jovem foi vista por Polifemo, que se apaixonou por ela. Este era um dos temíveis e monstruosos cíclopes, gigantes de um só olho, que habitavam aquela ilha.



Galateia, porém, era enamorada do belo Ácis, filho do deus Pã e de uma ninfa. Um dia, quando a nereida repousava com seu amante junto ao mar, ambos foram vistos por Polifemo. Este perseguiu Ácis e terminou por esmagá-lo com uma enorme rocha. Galateia reviveu seu amado convertendo-o em um rio de águas límpidas, apelando para a mãe deste, uma ninfa dos rios. Em seguida, lançou-se ao mar, indo viver nas ondas que tocam as areias com suas espumas brancas, sem retornar à terra.

The plot is based on an anti-war military science fiction story by Sever Gansovsky.

In the not-too-distant future a scientist from a military great power wants revenge for his son (who was a soldier KIA during war) and thus invents a weapon capable of ending the conflict - an automated mind-reading tank that detects and reacts to human feelings of hostility and fear. After his revenge successfully takes place (as the tank destroys a number of generals responsible for the loss of his son) he himself falls victim to his own creation.

The film has an open ending.
