ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Melnitsa Animation Studio

Melnitsa Animation Studio is a place where grown-ups make very good pictures that tell stories. But they don't use real people or things for the pictures, they make them with their hands and computers.

First, they come up with a story and draw pictures of it called storyboards, like a really big comic book. Then, they make little models of the characters and backgrounds, and take many pictures of them moving tiny bit by tiny bit. It's like making a flip book with paper, but much more work!

After that, they use computer programs to put all the pictures together and add colors, music, and sound effects. This is called animation! It's like watching a cartoon on TV, but these ones are made just for the movie theaters.

So, in short, Melnitsa Animation Studio is a place where people make special drawings come to life and move like real people in movies. It takes a lot of work, but it's really cool to see!
