From wiki- The Snow Queen (Russian: Снежная королева, romanized: Snezhnaya Koroleva) is a 1957 Soviet animated musical fantasy film directed by Lev Atamanov.[2] It is the ninth full-length animated production by Soyuzmultfilm and is based on the 1844 fable "The Snow Queen" by Hans Christian Andersen. The film is one of the earliest cinematic adaptations of the Scandinavian Danish fable since its publication in New Fairy Tales. First Volume. Second Collection. The film was originally released in the Soviet Union on November
1, 1957. The film was re-released with an English soundtrack in 1959,
1993, and 1995. The film was translated into several major languages:
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Finnish and Swedish. In 1959,
at the height of the Cold War, Universal Pictures acquired the film for U.S. theatrical distribution (as the first animated film from Universal). Back to me: I got this movie at K-Mart about twenty five years ago, for a buck or two. I think I only ever watched it once, and now I have no idea where that disc went. It is gone, gone, gone. Thank the gods for the Internet Archive!
