Watch Father Frost For Free

Very Cool!!!

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I first saw this film through Mystery Science Theater 3000, so I certainly understand why people find it laughable, BUT, this is BIG on imagination for what it was and BIG on myth and story and humor. For a Soviet film, this is not only a really solid fantasy film for children, but a fascinating predecessor to big-budget fantasy films from Santa Claus: The Movie to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. It's not only worth a watch but a genuine open mind while watching. These people worked incredibly hard to make this film in these beautiful environments, and it shows, even if it wasn't the best made film, or the best shot film, it's a film that was made with effort and care. This was not a lazy film.It tried to be epic and mythic and who am I to argue that it wasn't to those who watched the film in the Soviet Union. This movie WAS epic at the time and to the people who it was intended for.Recommended!

As nearly everyone from Czech republic could tell you, this movie is classics (of course, I know some people who never watched this movie - not because they don't like fairy tales, but because it's a nice pose to not like anything Russian), so it's no wonder they show it so often in the TV - and people still watch it, and can quote whole passages from the movie by heart.I can't speak for English dubbing, as I've never heard it, but the Czech one is absolutely excellent - a true masterpiece as far as dubbing is concerned. And the story! There is humour, there is healthy dose of mysticism and magic, and good winning over the evil, just like it should be. Of course, if you are not at least minimally aware of Slavic folklore, half of the movie will not make much sense to you - but if Steven Spielberg could find this movie breathtaking, obviously its creators did something right.

Nothing terrible will not see. For the Russians it is a very good tale, many were brought up on it. And no, that everything went crazy. Remember Pushkin's fairy tales: "There on unknown paths of the Traces unseen animals; the hut there on chicken legs It is worth without Windows, without doors". Every child knows, walking the houses,the trees, talking mushrooms, flying on a broomstick the witch Baba-Yaga is a fairy tale! What the wizard is a mushroom turned hero to bear, in a fairy tale wanted to show that rude and boasters it is bad. And let's not forget that this is all the 1964 year. What in those years, the special effects?

The point is that Russian (soviet) mentality was clean and strong, so we had no headache after watching this film. I just can't understand some comments. They are all Americans. It's why on every 100 Russian girls in any Russian town you can meet 40 or even 50 beautiful babes, meanwhile on 100 American girls only 10 or even 5 pretty. It's sad to talk about but the main factor in this difference between us is the soviet mentality - "no god no evil". Oh, God forgive me! You are the best. Look what a stupid cartoon movies produced in USA. Like Beavis and Butthead, or Simpsons. In imprison with Morozko 95 % of American movie industries for kids are producing the meaningless stupidest works. There is some good items, but they are exclusion. Have faith!
