Who Is The First?

About This Movie

Who Is The First? is a curious blend of animation and family themes that invites you into a whimsical race among forest creatures. The rivalry among the Toptygin brothers, the Bunny, and the Fox unfolds with a certain playful tension. It's interesting how the pacing allows us to feel the build-up of suspense in the race, only to be surprised by the Bunny's overconfidence leading to a rather ironic twist. The hand-drawn animation style has a charming, rough-around-the-edges feel, giving it a distinct personality that you don’t find in more polished works. The film’s themes of competition and humility resonate subtly, making it a charming piece, though not without its imperfections.

Who Is The First? has had a bit of an obscure distribution history, which adds to its allure for collectors. It was initially released in limited formats, making original prints quite rare to come by. The film's distinctive hand-drawn animation and unique storytelling angle attract those interested in vintage animation, yet it's often overlooked, leading to a niche interest among dedicated collectors.
