Cucumber Horse

About This Movie

Cucumber Horse is a curious little animated gem from 1985, really. It chronicles the whimsical journey of Masha, a girl with a singular focus on her cucumber patch. The way she interacts with her dog and fends off the goat, rooster, and crow is charming, if a bit odd. The animation style has a handmade quality that gives it a unique atmosphere, evoking a sense of innocence and simplicity. The pacing is gentle, allowing you to soak in Masha's dreams of star rain—there’s something dreamlike about it. And then there’s the cucumber horse, a surreal twist that leaves an impression. It's distinctively quirky, a blend of childlike wonder and pastoral life that feels refreshing in a sea of more polished animations.
