About This Movie

A Little Time Machine is a 1967 animated science fiction film from Soyuzmultfilm. It explores the intersection of various scientific disciplines through a satirical lens, blending adult humor with innovative storytelling.

This film presents a narrative centered around Soviet scientists who invent a groundbreaking device called "TV-1," which serves as a transistor of time. The invention cleverly disguises its trial samples within everyday objects such as beads, flowers, and canes, leading to unexpected interactions with random individuals who come into possession of these experimental devices.

As a piece of animation, A Little Time Machine offers a unique blend of adult humor and satire, appealing to collectors interested in the evolution of science fiction in Soviet cinema. The film features a notable cast, including Yevgeni Vesnik, Georgiy Vitsin, and Anatoliy Papanov, contributing to its distinctive narrative and artistic style.

This film is relatively obscure, with few known prints circulating among collectors. It has a bit of a niche appeal, especially for those interested in Soviet animation or offbeat sci-fi narratives. VHS copies are particularly scarce, and I've seen some collectors pay a premium for them just for the novelty. It’s one of those films that sparks conversations, especially given its unusual subject matter and the cultural context of its origin.
