Description:

A hard-working girl lives with her mean stepmother and her lazy daughter. When she's forced to climb down a well to retrieve a bucket, she meets Grandpa Frost (Santa Claus) himself. Based on Prince Odoyevskiy's 1841 version of a Russian folk tale, "Moroz Ivanovich".

One of the early Soyuzmultfilm puppet films.

Some other copies of this film online have an unfortunate zooming filter - the one above doesn't.

Awards:
1957 - XI Edinburgh Film Festival (Scotland)
