People (especially chidren) are drawn to Andersen's somewhat scary stories because one can learn a lot more from facing and solving problems than from Disney's happy ever after stuff. Sometimes it is too happy. By the way there is a Soviet cartoon. It is called Adventures of Mowgli. It is much more serious than the Disney cartoon. Just don't watch it in English, if you decide to do that. Those who translated it, put there funny songs which shouldn't have been there at all. Use subtitles again.

Thank you. I wondered if it was a magpie, because of the white bits. Technically, Andersen's bird was a crow. I suppose I confused raven and crow. Really, those two words seemed alike to me. |

There is another cartoon in the end. You can skip it. |

I couldn't tell the difference. Ravens are bigger, and less common. Probably hard to tell the difference unless you saw both at once. Also supposedly more intelligent. They feature in several legends etc. like the one about the Tower of London. That's why I remember Anderson saying it was a crow - they don't usually get a mention. UNless it's a translation thing.

Great story and nice animation. I loved the snowstorm trying to drive her back.

A very good evening. Sadly, I might not make next week - a tiresome meeting has been called, either for next week or the week after. But if it's next week I will watch the film anyway! Thank you again for a lovely film, Taiellin! |

OK, my daughter is due to arrive soon, so I will go and put the kettle on. She's driven down from Edinburgh after working all day, because she has an appointment nearby tomorrow, so it made sense for her to sleep here. It will be nice to see her, even if only for one night! Bye, and thanks for the rewatch. Hope you have a good week. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Just to give you all the heads-up - and in full co-osperation with OSP - we've got a date with spooky doom next Thursday... |

It is a bit late, but I want to share with you some photos. Sorry, I have some troubles with connection. Actually, it is fine, but I can't open this site sometimes. Could someone tell me how to post photos here which include Snow Queen. I remember having seen instruction somewhere, but because of unstable connection I can't find it. |
