Nausicaa.net reports that the Ghibli Museum Library label is set to release Lev Atamanov’s 1957 animated film Snow Queen on December 15 in select theaters in Japan. The film strongly inspired Hayao Miyazaki and played a critical role in the early days of his career. GhibliWorld has the English translation of an interview with Hayao Miyazaki, which is also available on the official Snow Queen website in Japanese.
