Wiki.

The Overcoat (Russian: Шине́ль, Shinyél’) is an unfinished animated feature film that has been the main project of Russian director and animator Yuri Norstein since 1981. It is based on "The Overcoat" (1842), a short story by Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol.

Around 25 minutes were completed by 2004. The unfinished film has been shown publicly in several exhibitions of Norstein's work around the world and clips of it have been included in a few documentary films about Russian animation and culture. A Japanese theatrical documentary, Yuriy Norshteyn: Making The Overcoat, premiered in 2018.

On March 13, 2007, Norstein stated that he planned to release the first 30 minutes of the film with a soundtrack into theatres by the end of 2007. However, as of 2024, the film remains unfinished, and its production time of over 40 years is the longest for any animated motion picture in history.
