With great taste, without sentimentality and excessive stylization. In the film, the approaches to the creation of national cartoons in the form of cartoons, which have their roots in folk art, were clarified. But the film "The Magic Ring" was declared a manifestation of "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism" and put on the shelf. The director had to leave the studio."
