Reviewer Charlie Largent snaps up the opportunity to review the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale released here in 1959 as ‘The Snow Queen,’ with an added prologue with TV host Art Linkletter. Directed by Lev Atamanov, the original Soviet feature Snezhnaya Koroleva is a real beauty of classic animation. Gerda struggles to rescue her beloved Kai, the prisoner of a queen who is turning Kai’s heart to ice. It’s part of the set Treasures of Soviet Animation Vol 2, with ‘The Scarlet Flower’ and ‘The Key,’ produced between 1952 and 1961. The films come with commentaries by Rolf Giesen. On 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray from Deaf Crocodile.
