"The Twelve Months" ( _ru. Двена́дцать ме́сяцев; tr.:"Dvenadtsat mesyatsev") is a 1956 Soviet traditionally-animated feature film directed by the "patriarch of Russian animation", Ivan Ivanov-Vano. It was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow and is based on the fairy-tale play of the same name by Samuil Marshak.
The film's sound and image were restored in 2003 by Krupnyy Plan, who released it on video and DVD in Russia in 2004. An English-subtitled edition of the Russian-language version has not been released. However, Films by Jove released the film on DVD in 1999 as "volume 3" of its "Stories From My Childhood" series - this version features a choice of English, French or Spanish soundtracks.
Plot
On an evening in January, a spoiled young queen sends her servant into the woods for the impossible task of finding April flowers in the midst of winter. The young peasant girl finds the flowers with the help of the personified twelve months.
