History

In 1988, the Moscow TVO Soyuztelefilm commissioned a full-length animated film, Aeneid, based on a poem of the same name by Ivan Kotliarevsky from Kyivnaukfilm (the predecessor of Ukranimafilm). The film was created in 1991. [4]

According to production designer Eduard Kirich, the film consists of seven parts and each part has 14 thousand drawings. [5] [6]

According to the film's director Volodymyr Dakhno, he did not want to make a "literal film adaptation" and created the film mainly based on Kotliarevsky's poem, rethinking and beating it in his own way. [7]

Voice acting

As in the poem, the animated film characters do not make their speeches. I. Kotliarevsky describes all the details of the story on behalf of the author. The film director instructed the actor of the old drama school Andrii Podubynskyi to read the voiceover.
