The greatest achievement of Ukrainian animation in the 1930s was the epic animated film "The Magic Ring", an independent director's work by Semen Huietskyi. The epic animated film, unfortunately, has not been preserved, we only have Borys Kryzhanivskyi's impressions: "It was really beautifully made. 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."
