Not without nuances

Talking about the animation product “the Tale of Peter and Fevronia” Ryazanov and ... easy and difficult at the same time.

Easy, because the cartoon was made sincerely, without zeal, to fall into the category of fashion trend, not to please the public or to please someone, and other.

However, as in any work of modern art, there are some problems.

Complexity adaptation

The fact that the main characters built a Church to the rank of saints, and have real historical prototypes. Their story is not a myth, not epic, not a tale, folk belief, etc. going to the cinema and attending Church Sunday school – completely different things, and the sponsors knew it. Therefore, on the one hand, in any case it was impossible to offend the saints, and on the other it was necessary to turn the cartoon "the Tale of Peter and Fevronia” in an exciting, modern, dynamic action.

In an attempt to find the optimal balance, the creators decided to experiment, “Story” almost turned into a fairy tale, while retaining the elements “Said”. It did not pass unnoticed by critics who analyzing “the Tale of Peter and Fevronia”, reviews left with a detailed analysis of technological aspects of production.

Also, according to the experts, the authors managed to Refine the image of the Hare in the story turned into the assistant Fevronia and fearlessly enters the fight with a sworn enemy.

Minor flaws

Unfortunately, the cartoon "the Tale of Peter and Fevronia» reviews rezedentov the critics note, and a disorder not only in genre politics, but with music and dialogues. Music project too motley – from the backgroundsymphonic to folk dance and song Valerie. Individually, all sounds great, however, not particularly fit.

As for dialogues, it is mostly the characters speak familiar to modern audiences the language, the dialogues contain irony and humor. But in some moments the impression that the authors write about the primary source in the conversations of the characters begins to reign ancient.

Graphics

The Film “the Tale of Peter and Fevronia» reviews praise for what he drawn by hand. Technique in comparison with the projects of the Studio. “Mill” is somewhat different, but essentially the same as the traditional “flat” schedule. Sometimes she's in some episodes looks not quite convincing, but this is more than kompensiruet a good stylized old Russian lubok, and is positioned as a reference to the iconographic traditions.

In any case, the promotion of family values was successful. In spite of serious discrepancies, the project turned out nice, lively, dynamic and instructive.
