“The audience all over the world loved Gerda’s story so much – the story of how her kindness and firm faith in friendship helped her find a way even to the most cold and snowy heart – that our company couldn’t help but continue the narration about the well-known characters,” shared Vladimir Nikolaev, Wizart’s General Producer. “Currently the studio is producing a spin-off for the popular franchise, named “The Snow Queen: Keepers of Wonders”, where the familiar characters encounter malicious evil that never breaks them.”

These days, Wizart has several TV show and feature projects in production. One of the premieres that await us in the coming year is a fairytale romantic comedy Warrior Heart.
This is a story about two loving hearts that can’t unite – King Vladimir doesn’t let his daughter Ludmila marry her beloved Ruslan, whom he finds unworthy as her groom. After her being persistent about this, Ludmila’s father does allow Ludmila to base her marriage choice on love, not on convenience. However, there’s a new circumstance that prevents Ruslan and Ludmila’s wedding – the evil sorcerer Chernomor kidnaps Ludmila right in the midst of the event.

King Vladimir promises to give half of the Kingdom and Ludmila herself as a wife to someone who saves her – that’s how Ruslan gets three new rivals, ready to go to any lengths not for love, but for the profit. Will Ruslan manage to save the one he loves? A series of challenges and exciting adventures will show. The animated feature is based on the poem by Alexander Pushkin, a great Russian author, considered the founder of the contemporary Russian literary language.
