Description:

A little man finds that hunting tigers in India is not that easy. A slapstick cartoon inspired by Ostap Vishnya's book "Hunting Smiles".

Wordless except for a few signs.

The book was published in 1958 and can be read here in the original Ukrainian, and here in Russian.

This was one of six shorts about this little man made in the Ukrainian SSR between 1973-1980, with each one helmed by a different director. I haven't read all of the original book that the "hunting stories" come from (which was quite popular but has not, apparently, been translated to English), but at least at the start, it has nothing to do with tigers (Indian or otherwise) but is about more typical European forest animals.

The cartoon is too focused on physics-defying slapstick and not enough on character for it to hold my attention that well, especially because I also find the art to be too "rough" - rather southern in temperament. But I'm sure most little kids would like it, though I think this is one of those films that's more like candy than a full meal...
