The Snow Maiden (Russian: Снегу́рочка; tr.:Snegurochka) is a 1952 Soviet traditionally-animated feature film. It was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow and is based on the play of the same name by Alexandr Ostrovsky (itself largely based on traditional folk tales). Music from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's opera The Snow Maiden is used, arranged for the film by L. Shwartz.
The Snow Maiden is an example of the Socialist Realism period in Russian animation, which was characterized by heavy use of rotoscoping and a focus on adapting traditional Russian folk tales. The film is widely available on video and DVD in Russia.
