"Socializaction of a bull? is a slovenian animated movie, created by cartoonists Zvonko Coh and Milan Eric, and is known to be the first animated feature film in Slovenia. Debuting in 1998 under Emotionfilm production and distributed by RTV Slovenia.
This surrealist and bizarre story intertwines the story of professor Raisin, who experiments with evolution acceleration, with an incident in a kingdom far in the outer rims ff the galaxy, where a young prince consumes the forbidden cigar. This grave mistake causes him to de-evolve into a bull, and he is consequentially transported to Earth for 7 years, as punishment. The main voice actors are Brane Grubar, Niko Goric, Violeta Tomic, Dare Valic and others.
The movie is completely hand made, consisting of 20,000 individual drawings which the authors made in their free time - the whole process took over 12 years to complete. When cutting the frames and fixing them on the film foil, they hired the help of thee aditional employees and their friend Ivo Standeker - who, out of boredom during the whole process, eventually played one of the minor roles as well. The question mark inserted in the title is there, because the authors weren't certain that they will manage to finish the project.
For their work, they were awarded in 1999 with the Presern award. The movie was also given accolades at the 42th international festival of documentary and animated movies in Leipzig.
