Hedgehog In The Fog is an enchanting animated short film, made in 1975 by Russian animator Yuriy Norshteyn. Never having used a computer, his work has nevertheless created films which are recognized as masterpieces of world animation.
The inspirational Hedgehog in the Fog was ranked No. 1 in a poll at the 2003 Laputa Animation Festival where 140 animators from around the world voted for it as the best animated film of all time.
The film concerns a small hedgehog (voiced by Maria Vinogradova) who every evening journeys out to see his friend the bear for an idyllic night of drinking tea and counting the stars. On this particular eventful evening, the hedgehog notices a horse up ahead surrounded by a strange fog and is concerned that the horse will perish should she become engulfed by the fog. Hedgehog ventures into the thick fog, intending to talk to the horse, only to lose his own bearings, he becomes trapped immersed in the pale and indistinct world…
Hedgehog in the Fog tells a deceptively simple story, one that can be enjoyed by all ages on many levels. Every detail within however feels as it could be a symbol for something far greater. With an unsettling melancholy and beguiling eeriness, the cuteness of the small protagonist and the overpowering magnitude of his surroundings shrouded in a nocturnal haze, creates at once a frightening, ethereal and beautifully sombre scene.
Above all, it's an intensely enigmatic piece. There is something profoundly Zen – the path of knowledge by rejecting knowledge, open to much interpretation, on the question of the films meaning, each time the answer could be different. Hedgehogs own philosophical reflection on his adventure sits among my favourite moments on film.
A classic and much treasured film favourite, touching and timeless in appeal ...
