Wiki.
Ginger's Tale (Russian: Огонёк-Огниво, romanized: Ogonyok-Ognivo) is a 2020 Russian animated realistic fantasy fairy-tale musical family film written and directed by Konstantin Shchekin. Tatyana Ilina and Ekaterina Mikhailova also were script writers. Vverh Animation Studio produced the film which became its second and final animated film produced at the animation studio after its closure in 2021.
Within the frameworks of an original story, Ginger's Tale is a modern-day adaptation of the 1835 Danish fairy tale The Tinderbox. The animators drew exclusively in frame-by-frame traditional animation.
The film depicts the trials and tribulations of Ginger, a faithful young friend of a craftsman named Potter. One day, the poor potter craftsman finds the magical Stone Of Fire artifact that can grant the ability to turn stones to treasure. It is up to Ginger to rescue Potter, as he forgets his past and allies closer to the Queen who is also seeking the artifact. The film was noted for a drawing style of all colors and shades. It is also a story of the confrontation of human qualities such as greed and friendship.
The movie premiered and was a nominee for best animation in 2020 at the June 2020 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The movie also premiered one month later at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The film has been granted accolades for best animation at Crystal Keys, Scandinavian International Film Festival and nominated at the San Diego International Kids Film Festival. The movie released in Russia on 4 February 2021 with critical acclaim for its animation and story.
