Plot synopsis
The Ugly Duckling, is a modern reworking of Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale that is both amusing and sad at the same time in the director’s typical manner. In this large-scale production, which took several years to complete, the director employed many of his tried-and-tested techniques, which include the use of plasticine, puppets and more than four hundred dolls. As was the case in Bardin’s previousmovies, the music became an indispensable part of the story. The soundtrack is made up fromexcerpts fromballets byTchaikovsky that were specially arranged by the composer Sergey Anashkin and performed by the world-renowned orchestra of Vladimir Spivakov, while many famous Russian musical artistes agreed to voice the movie, including Spivakov himself, and members of the Jewish Choir of Michael Turetsky, which is very popular in Russia.
