Father Frost

Summary: Jack Frost
Review: I think that Jack Frost is a very good movie. It teaches many good things such as honesty and respect(episode of Ivan and mushroom-man). Teach us that lazy and wicked person will be finally panished, for example, as this happen to the stepsister. In the opposite, kind and honest person will be rewarded. Maybe, this fairytale seems silly for some adults but children will love it.

Summary: Good for a few laughs!
Review: I, too, saw this on Mystery Science Theater. I have to admit, it reminded me very much of the Ukrainian fairy tales I grew up with as a child. Yes, they were this two-dimensional and wacky--the witch, the wicked stepmother and stepsister, the strapping young cossack who is transformed into another creature--all these are staples in Ukrainian and Russian folklore. So in that respect, it would probably make an entertaining children's movie. Otherwise, a good B-movie for those parties where you're feeling, um, surreal.

Review: Ok this movie I know is based on a fairytale, but PLEASE!!! This is horrible. Let's see we have a talking bear & the mouth hardly moves. A blind lady who knows where's she's going. The rest of it was all a blur. A really ugly wicked sister & yes this girl is UGLY ! I don't recomend watching this unless you see it on MST3K. If you see it there it's hillarious. This is almost as funny as Hurculese Unchained!

Summary: Charming children's fairy tale.
Review: This film is a broadly humorous children's fairy tale based on Eastern European story telling traditions. The costuming and filming are generally wonderful considering the obvious financial constraints facing the director. One significant flaw is the relatively poor synchronization of the voice dubbing...however, I find this forgivable. Several scenes may be too intense or confusing for the very young or sensitive individuals. On the whole, I would recommend this film to relatively mature children and adults who still retain a child's wonder at the world.

Summary: Very old Masterpiece
Review: This is one of the greatest kids movies made back in the Sixties. Plot is based on the 1000+ year old tale (yes, thats before Shakespeare and even before most of the Brother Grimms tales were first told). This is certainly not a movie for a Generation X-Y-Z kid("What do you mean they couldn't do no computer animation back there?!!!"). Think of it as a Russian "Wizard of OZ", an instant hit for it's time but now just a nostalgic piece of art, interesting for historians or real cinema fans. This is one of the few movies that is remembered 40 years after it was released (and who will remember 90% of today's "hits" even 10 years from now?). This is definitely not a film for wide audience today, but it doesn't make it less entertaining and you will definitely enjoy it.
