Animated films I would love to see in the Criterion Collection:

- The Snow Queen (1957) (Preferably in Russian with English subtitles. The English dub isn’t bad but the original is better)

- The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926)

- Felidae (1994)

- Mary and Max (2009)

- Tale of Tales (1979)

- Ralph Bakshi boxset

- Wolfwalkers (the only physical release was a boxset with two other Cartoon Saloon movies and I think it was limited edition so I’d like a physical copy that’s easier to own)

- The Triplets of Belleville (2003)

That’s all I can think of right now

Skazka skazok Yuri Norstein Soviet Union, 1979 ★★★★ That was quite lovely ("lovely" used loosely here).

The deceptively simple animation kinda blew my mind. Every time I thought I had it figured out, something new came up. Stylish and astounding.

In particular part of this scene made me relive my childhood for a second, and it used to be one of my favorite hobbies as a time-filler experience.

I have pioneered a new form of infotainment, which is that if you give me $20 on ko-fi (or like, regular paypal, I’m not a monster) I will make you a weird informational lecture on the subject of your choosing OR the subject of my choice, depending on your preference. I can do it after two cocktails. I can do it sober as a judge. I will do research. I will do a bibliography if you so desire. I can do it completely uninformed and completely flying blind. I’m a content creator now. 

You could commission your very own piece of premium content concerning:

...ancient roman sex baggage and why eating pussy gives you cavities

...early victorian night foods and the hypothesized origin of pea wet ‘

...why was weimar germany so horny-nervous about true crime

...why were there so many serial killers in the 1970s 

...why does incest make you an elizabethan werewolf

...summaries of the plotlines of various gay pulp novels from the 1960s i have read

And it’s all for the price of two shitty bourgeois cocktails to get me through the night. I believe in you. Believe in me.

We are by the waterside

The plane tree and I.

Our reflections are thrown on the water

The plane tree's and mine.

The sparkle of the water hits us

The plane tree and me.

Yuri Norstein was a fan of Nazim Hikmet who is a famous Turkish poet, and decided to name this animation’s name from one of his poets name which I’ve written down the first verse above.
