The Kazakh animated movie
‘Shyrak’ (The Candle) has been shortlisted for several foreign festivals in the
U.S., South Korea, China and Italy. The 24-minute story tells of a candle that
has a fear of humans. But for the sake of its friend, the candle is ready to
overcome any difficulties. According to the authors, the main idea of the work
is to demonstrate family values, and it is the plot of the animated movie that
captivated the audience. It is worth noting that Kazakh animators combined both
2D animation and modern 3D graphics.
