About The Torch and the Ballerina
A cartoon based on the fairy tale by S. Voronin. About the love of a luminary to a watch-ballerina, who stood on one table. The ballerina was as beautiful as a butterfly and as light as a breeze, that's how the young luminary thought about her and often told her about his love. But the flirtatious ballerina only laughed and said that she could not love him because he had no heart. And one day the ballerina became ill and dying she told the luminary that she loved him too. The master came, wound the clock, the ballerina revived and was the same old gaggle, thinking only of herself. What does she care about a poor young man in love? The main thing is that she lives and enjoys life…
Directed by Leonid Koshchenikov, The Torch and the Ballerina leans on a strong ensemble — Nikolay Feoktistov, Natalya Borovkova — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1990.
