Reviews (1)
One of the best classic Russian fairy tales produced in Soviet studios, which, although it doesn't reach the fame or quality of Jack Frost, still ranks above average. My rating is naturally influenced by a bit of nostalgia, but the wizard Chudo Yudo is one of my standout film memories. Despite the artificial sets and the knowledge that today's fantasy stories offer much more spectacular visuals, I give it a strong 70% overall impression.
