http://niffiwan.livejournal.com/1448.html This is a wonderfully-directed but very obscure 1988 Soviet animated feature adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's short story. Translated into English by myself. Download the subtitle file here: http://www.portasecreta.com/english_subtitle.zip For more information about the film, visit its wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cat_Who_Walked_by_Herself IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997248/ This seems to be a film that has simply slipped through the cracks... nobody seems to know anything about it. It is extremely difficult to find it on video/DVD in Russia, and pretty much impossible outside of the country. However, it's one of the most beautifully-directed animated films I've ever seen, and I think it deserves more exposure - which is why I've created a translation.
