The Snow Queen is a 1957 Soviet Animated Adaptation of The Snow Queen, produced by Soyuzmultfilm. An English-dubbed version, featuring the voices of Sandra Dee and Tommy Kirk, was released in the U.S. in 1959. It was dubbed again in 1985 and again in 1995. The film is now in the public domain and can be legally viewed here, along with being streamed on Tubi.The story begins with Gerda's (Dee) grandmother telling her and Kai (Kirk) the legend of the Snow Queen. When the children make fun of her, she tells the splinters of her shattered mirror to go into the eyes and hearts of those who have offended her. Kai grows cold and distant from Gerda, and the Queen takes him away... and Gerda goes out to rescue him.Hayao Miyazaki named The Snow Queen as one of his favorite films and one of his biggest influences to keep him in the animation industry.Not to be confused with The Snow Queen (1977), The Snow Queen (1995), The Snow Queen (2005) anime, or The Snow Queen (2012). | |

Age Lift | |
| The Snow Queen (1957) (Animation) / int_121b3725 | comment |
The prince and princess are a couple in the original story, but here are aged down to children and portrayed as siblings. In the 1959 dub, he’s the princess's "playmate"note which is the same term Gerda uses to describe Kai rather than a sibling. | |

Kick the Dog | |
| The Snow Queen (1957) (Animation) / int_34dcfc96 | comment |
Kick the Dog: Kai tramples Gerda's dead roses after his Face–Heel Turn. The Snow Queen kills a bird. With that being said, it's unclear whether the Snow Queen killed the bird on purpose or whether her sheer icy presence froze everything nearby (including vegetation and later the bird) because she had stopped in place for a moment while spreading snow. | |

Culturally Sensitive Adaptation | |
| The Snow Queen (1957) (Animation) / int_4bdb06f5 | comment |
Culturally Sensitive Adaptation: The film, although generally faithful to the original, removes all the religious themes to conform to Soviet values. The Snow Queen, instead of the Devil, is made the owner of the magic mirror. | |

Disneyesque: The film has many visual similarities to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio and Sleeping Beauty (incomplete in 1957), especially the roundness, colored outlines and soft eyes of the children, and the smooth animation based on live action footage. The Snow Queen is similar in appearance to Maleficent and Ole Lukøje resembles Jiminy Cricket. | |

Spared by the Adaptation: When the robbers seize the golden carriage, they merely beat up the drivers and attendants instead of killing them. They later wake up and run away. In the original fairy tale, the talking crow is mentioned to be dead near the end of the story. He survives here and its shown at the end with the other characters. | |

The Kindness of Strangers: A major theme of the film. Gerda constantly asks strangers to help her, and most of them oblige. Implied with the Robber Girl's birds. The Snow Queen leads to the death of their mother while they were small, helpless chicks, yet by the time Gerda finds them in the care of the Robber Girl, they are healthy adults, indicating that someone, possibly the Robber Girl herself, raised them after their mother died. | |

Adults Are Useless: Subverted by the Lapps, but aside from that, what does Gerda's grandmother do when the snow queen attacks and blows the window open to cast the spell? Nothing. She sits in her chair and knits all the while. The guards that protect the princess and prince? Incompetent to the max. One of them is leaning on his weapon and asleep. | |
