1) Caliph the Stork
This psychedelic 1981 cartoon is based on the mysterious tale of transformations by Wilhelm Hauff (German). Its visual style was inspired by the paintings of Salvador Dali, especially his desert cycle. It was voiced by Innokentiy Smoktunovsky (the actor who played the Russian Hamlet), Vasiliy Livanov (the Russian Sherlock Holmes) and Inna Churikova (the Russian Joan of Arc) – a rare cast of dramatic actors. As a child, I was frightened by its surrealistic... images and haunting soundtrack, but eventually came to love it, and it became one of my favorite Russian cartoons. So enjoy :)
