The Fir Tree (A New Year Tale) 1942

    An early Soviet New Year cartoon with Grandpa Frost (think Santa Claus, but with power over winter storms) celebrating the holiday in the woods with other forest critters. But the wolves try to steal the presents for themselves and eat his reindeer. This was one of just 5 Soviet cartoons made in 1942, and was made not in Moscow but in Samarkand, Uzbekistan (where the Soyuzmultfilm studio was evacuated for a few years).
