Title: Badly in need of restoration, but beautiful in parts
Review: "The Snow Queen" is a beautiful film - or could be, if it were ever fully restored to its original glory, and redubbed for modern audiences. It boasts a lovely musical score, and some of the animation is the equal of the best of Disney. But alas - this version is based off of a VERY old and damaged print, and that hinders the enjoyment considerably. This film deserves a full restoration so that new generations can enjoy this well-told tale based on a Hans Christian Anderson story. Its sweetness, imagery and production design is second to none. Hopefully some studio will undertake the task of bringing it back to life. As it is, I can't recommend this version. It's in very bad shape.
