Ginger's Tale is a 2020 Russian animated musical fantasy film written and directed by Konstantin Shchekin. Tatyana Ilina and Ekaterina Mikhailova also were script writers. Vverh Animation Studio produced the film which became its second and final animated film produced at the animation studio after its closure in 2021.

Production

Vverh Animation Studio teamed up to present their next feature film after their release of the 2017 animated film The Tale of Peter and Fevronia. The scriptwriters intended the film to be a new fairy tale that features the centerpiece character, Ginger.

The idea of the story started when the team at a meeting decided to make a story about love. However, there was a bag of money nearby. Therefore they decided the story to revolve around the concept of love and money. As they wrote the script, a copy of an 1835 Fairy Tales Told for Children. First Collection was nearby and it reminded them of how their script had parallels to the stories of Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen.

Andersen's central concept of how with just one strike at the tinderbox a copper dog will be summoned with copper coins; twice a silver dog with silver coins; and third a gold dog with gold coins is completely portrayed in the film Ginger's Tale. The artifact - Stone Of Fire was the motif object that drove forward the conflict of the film. The writers deviated from the source material slightly in its depiction of the wish fulfillment object.

The setting chosen for the film is originally set between the West and the Urals giving the film a Balkan tone somewhere in Eastern Europe. The choreography itself drew upon Romanian, Bulgarian and Irish folk dances that was used as a reference point by the animators.

The main character Potter was originally a soldier that was later changed to a craftsman potter. The change was symbolic in nature that would describe the overall dynamics between the two main characters Potter and Ginger whom are both melded together like clay as the film progresses. Originally based as a feature film, the team finalized the format as animation.
