This short russian animation is about a hedgehog who gets lost in the fog on his way to visit the bear cub to count the stars. Nothing much happens. Its beautiful, mysterious and a little spooky. It’s directed by Yuriy Norshteyn and written by Sergei Grigoryevich Kozlov. In 2003 it was voted “№1 Animated film of all the time” at the Tokyo festival of animation.Well deserved, I think. It’s one of my favorite animations. Make yourself a cup of tea, and throw a couple of juniper twigs on the fire for that nice smokey smell. Put it on full screen and enjoy.
