THE FIGURE OF A "SMALL PERSON" IN F. KHITRUK''S FILMS
The birth of a new type of the character in the animation in the 1950th and 1960th was the result of an anthropological turn and the influence of documentary trends. The transformation of the image of the "low-ranker" is considered on the example of F. Khitruk's films "History of a crime" and "Man in the frame". The changes in the structure of the image of the "low-ranker" are revealed along with the similarities and differences of this type of character in the relation to the concept of "low-ranker", that is embodied in the characters of classical literature.
