Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This adapts a Russian folk tale ('The Cat, the Rooster and the Fox') but Norstein shifts focus to housing insecurity—quietly political for 1973 USSR.

Trivia

Norstein's multi-plane camera technique here directly influenced his legendary unfinished 'The Overcoat'—this short is essentially his warm-up for greatness.
