Description:

A young jay named Jafar is mean to other birds and gets ostracized for his behaviour.

Whereas until 1950 the animation of Tbilissi Film Studio was still very Disney-influenced, in the sense that animals would wear clothes and behave very un-animal-like, in 1951 that was over, as Socialist Realism dictated naturalism in depiction and behaviour, including for animal animations.

There is still a human-like educational theme, but the depiction has changed a lot. Compare it to Audacious Mountaineers, of the same director from a year before, and the difference is obvious. Yet the color palette used still has the same soft-toned beauty. From Spring Vistors (1949), to [i]Audacious Mountaineers (1950), to Jafar (1951), the cartoons of Tbilissi Film Studio show a remarkable progress in naturalism. Yet, what is the superior animation? A nice question to ask ourselves.
