Ded Moroz and Summer (also known as Father Frost and Summer) (Russian: Дед Мороз и лето, romanized: Ded Moroz i leto) is a 1969 Soviet cartoon.
Plot
Ded Moroz[2] (the Russian equivalent of Santa Claus) is at his house in a wintry setting, packing toys for children. However, he overhears a conversation about summer, a season he knows nothing about. Curious and determined to learn, he begins to wonder what summer is like. Despite the animals around his house thinking he’s gone mad for pondering such an idea, Ded Moroz resolves to find out.
Traveling south, he encounters several children who introduce him to the wonders of summer. However, the intense heat proves too much for him, and he starts to feel unwell. The children, eager to help, give him ice cream to cool down and accompany him to explore the lush green forests, fields, and lively creatures of the season. Delighted by the experience, Ded Moroz is inspired by the beauty of summer, shares ice cream with the children as thanks, and returns to his northern home aboard a hot air balloon.
