About Fear Has Big Eyes

Olga Khodataeva's cartoon uses the Russian tale of the cat and the fox. A fox tricks the other animals and carries off gifts meant for Kotofei Ivanovich, whom she presents as the new ruler of the forest. He is a black cat with a large appetite. The catalog overview breaks off on that appetite. Georgiy Grebner wrote the short.
