«Confusion» («Путаница»)

Soviet animated film with English subtitles. Based on the children's story by the famous Russian writer Korney Chukovsky. A bunny tries to orchestrate a choir of animals who grow tired of their own sounds and try out new ones instead - birds ribbit, pigs quack, and so on. The confusion (путаница) grows as frogs take to flying and some wily foxes light a pond on fire. Directed by Irina Gurvich for Kievnauchfilm studio in 1982. Translated by Dennis Keen for the Russian program at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
