Ivan Ivanov-Vano (8 February 1900 - 25 Mar, 1987) - Soviet film director, painter, playwright, one of the founders of Soviet animation, People's Artist of Russia (1969) [1], People's Artist of the USSR in 1985.

Yuri B. Norshteyn (p. 15 Sept., 1941) - famous Soviet and Russian animator. Most of the works created by working at the studio «Soyuzmultfilm».
In animation Norshteyn uses a special technique multilayered linings image that attaches to the cartoon effect of three-dimensional images, and refuses to use an animation computer graphics. For many years he worked with his wife animator Francesca Yarbusovoy and operator Alexander Zhukovsky. In 1981 he Norshteyn began work on the animated film «The greatcoat» on the story of Gogol, which operates to this day.

Ivan Ivanov-Vano and Yuriy Norshteyn's 'Seasons' is a delicate stroll through the Russian wilderness at different times of the year. Each season has its own unique beauty to offer us: in autumn, falling deciduous leaves spiral majestically towards the ground; in winter, a bitter snowfall gives way to a settling of millions of intricate, soft, white snowflakes; in spring, an outburst of fresh growth provides the landscape with a flourish of colour.

Karlson was voiced by Vasiliy Livanov, Russian actor who received the Order of the British Empire of the second degree for his portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the series filmed by Soviet TV in 1970's - 1980's.

It is rather interesting that while the book enjoyed huge popularity in Russia it was banned in some libraries and schools in USA as it was thought that "Karlson might incite young children to disobey authority and mistrust and fear babysitters."

Hedgehog in the Fog (Yozhik v tumane)

This is Soviet animated film directed by Yuriy Norshteyn, produced by the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow in 1975.
Awards
1976—Frunze All-Union Film Festival: Hedgehog in the Fog "best animated film"
1976—Teheran Children's and Youth Film Festival: Hedgehog in the Fog "best animated film"
2003—Tokyo All time animation best 150 in Japan and Worldwide: Hedgehog in the Fog "№1 Animated film of all the time"
Almost everything about this film has the innocence and wonder of a child's view of the world.
He is safe within his comfort zone, happy to live his life without change, without challenge, without fear.

Is a beautiful, lyrical and deceptively simple animated story of how a curious little hedgehog takes a detour through the mysterious fog on the way to see his friend, the little bear, gets lost and then finds his way out again. But there is much, much more in this little movie than just that.
