Russian Holmes Animation

When looking for different adaptions of Holmes other than the Guy Richie Films and BBC adaption I came across this charming animation from Aleksandr Bubnov, Irina Kovtun and Zoya Trofimova which featured in a few film festivals a few years back, the way the characters are drawn and the fun almost whimsical script and plot suggests that the animation was aimed at children but also had quite alot of adult themes such as an affair,
This version was a great spin on the Holmes Canon, a slight parody of the Russian and Rathbone adaptions from the late 30's and late 70's which affectively pokes fun at Holmes' trait of being able to deduce from the tiniest bit of information
