Having very recently seen the wondrous and comical Viy, I have an urge to check out more films of this amazing director. The thing is, I need some recommendations on where to go next (and yes, I know this one was a directorial collaboration with two other directors but his eye and SFX flair is very evident throughout).
Ruscico has managed to put out practically all his important feature-length movies on DVD with English (and tons of other) subtitles, which is fantastic if you really think about it. So, the question remains: which one should I seek out next? Any fans around here?

Oh, dear. I can now see myself having to get all his movies sooner or later. They do sound and look enchanting and myself being a Karel Zeman devotee, this is the next best thing.
Here's a page with many stopmotion animation clips and if you scroll down a bit, you'll find 4 for Ptushko. Enjoy.

I don't think my DVD Times review of The Tale of Tsar Saltan is going to put you off - and I can thoroughly recommend Ilya Muromets as well.
(NB: The rule of thumb with Ruscico is to go for the PAL transfer whenever possible - their NTSC discs are poor-quality conversions from PAL masters)
