I thought to share some old-school animation I found from youtube.
Recommended only if you have a interest for some really old, less famous animation.
Hope someone else finds them interesting also. =) Might be adding more later.

See under the cut.
NOTE: Some of these might be longer than just one part (mentioned below), but I uploaded only the first one here. You should be able to find rest of them easily from YouTube, though.


Category 1: deer-related films/shorts
Category 2: other old-school- animation (shorts&some movies)
Category 3: bit newer but unknown animated movies


Had to add this one... This animated chinese painting "Deer in the village" (part 1/3) tells a story of a family of deer and what happens when their fawn gets lost. Looks very beautiful and adorable. <3



A cute Russian cartoon from 1957: "The brave little deer" (part 1/3). It has no subtitles, but the story isn´t hard to follow even though if you can´t undrestand russian. Seems to have some Disney-influences in its style.



A clip from a classic chinese cartoon released 1981: "The deer of nine colors". There was the whole movie somewhere, but couldn´t find it. I think it´s very beautiful how they animated the deer....
and does that halo on it´s head remind you of something?



Another animation based on folk-lore. A king wants to catch a deer with golden antlers, but a boy in the forest helps the creature to escape and befriends him. The king does not give up so easily, though. A simple but traditional fairy-tale, easy to follow even though without subtitles.

No deer-realted films:


"The Fantastic planet" (1973, part 1/8, France(?) Slaves and masters dominate the narrative of the faraway world of Ygam. This movie has a very surreal feel and style, but under all that it´s actually a quite good sci-fi tale. English dub. Recommended to see even once for a bit more mature, serious animation-fans.



"Crane Feathers" ( 1977, Russia) A very beautiful, poetic doll-animation, based on japanese folk-tale. English subtitles.



The Little Tiger on the Sunflower (1981, Russia) Cute, just so darn cute. I love that tiny tiger. <3
English subtitles.



The white seal ( 1973, part 1/3 ) Chuck Jones's animated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's famous story of the sea. Cute, also. <3



"The lion and the ox" (1983, russia), a story of a beginning and a tragic end of unusual companionship. I love how this one looks like.



A animation based on a chinese legend: "Nuwa patches up the sky". A story about a goddess and her sacrifice for the world she created.



A story based on a chinese(?) saying, of a struggle between a bird and a clam. Like a moving watercolor-painting.



"The tree and a cat" (Russia 1983). With subtitles. A tree has lived as a loner all of its life, until it gets a companion of a abandoned cat.



"Son of the white mare" part 1/9 (1982, Hungary) with english subtitles. A folktale (?) with pretty intresting visuals. It might appear very surreal at first, but there IS a story in there.


Not so old ones:

I thought to add this category too, because I have come up with some very lovely, but very unknown movies recently. These are probably only few years old but ones I had never even heard about before until found them by accident, and liked after watching. These definetely deserve more attention than they get.



"Nocturna" part 1/9(?) (2007, Spain), english dub. An absolutely adorable good-night-tale (without being overly sugar-coated), with beautiful visuals. A small orphan boy is terrified of dark and can´t sleep at night without gazing at his favourite star from the window, but one night after dark he notices his star missing, and goes on quest to find out what has happened to it. On the way he befriends some mysterious night-creatures.



"Secret of Kells" part 1/8 (2009). Young Brendan lives in a remote medieval outpost under siege from barbarian raids. But a new life of adventure beckons when a celebrated master illuminator arrives from foreign lands carrying an ancient but unfinished book, brimming with secret wisdom and powers. To help complete the magical book, Brendan has to overcome his deepest fears on a dangerous quest that takes him into the enchanted forest where mythical creatures hide. It is here that he meets the fairy Aisling, a mysterious young wolf-girl, who helps him along the way.
If you haven´t seen this little gem already, go do so now. <3



"Strings" part 1/8 (2004, Denmark(?)) , english dub. A very dramatic story.... performed entirely by marionet-puppets! Strings is a mythological story about the son of a king, Hal Tara, who sets out on a journey to avenge the death of his father. To his surprise he discovers the truth of his own people - and where he least expects it - he finds true love.



"Dragon hunters" (2008, France(?)) part 1/8, english dub. Ok, this one is computer animated... but I liked it. A fun adventure-story of two not-very-epic dragon-hunters who get hired on a mission to slay a huge dragon that threatens their kingdom. Their only real talents: the size of the hulking brute with the heart of gold, Lian-Chu, and Gwizdo's talent for scams of all and any shape or form.
The plot is pretty simple, but does well what it´s intented to, and again the visuals are beautiful and imaginative.
