Winter Days
is a 2003 Japanese anime film directed by Kihachirō Kawamoto. It is based on one of the ''renku'' (collaborative linked poems) in the 1684 collection of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō.

The released film consists of the 40-minute animation, followed by an hour-long 'Making of' documentary, including interviews with the animators. ''Winter Days'' won the Grand Prize of the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2003. Bashō's hokku, or opening verse, of the 36-verse poem:Horton, H. Mack. ''G ...

Rusalka (1996 Film)
''Mermaid'' (, translit. ''Rusalka'') is a 1996 Russian animated short film directed by Aleksandr Petrov and showcasing the paint-on-glass animation technique for which Petrov is known.

She disappears suddenly, but returns time and time again over the ensuing months—first demonstrating her dolphin-like swimming ability (and her surprising technique of catching fish in her teeth!) and then winning the ...
