The Grasshopper and the Ant
Directed by Władysław Starewicz
Produced by A. Khanzhonkov and Co.
A stark, early animated fable about industry versus idleness that ends in moral judgment and death, rendered with period charm but underlying bleakness.
An ant works to prepare for winter while a drunken grasshopper plays his violin and dances away his time. When the snow arrives, the grasshopper pleads with the ant for shelter and is turned away to die.
