Loosely based on Literature/TheKalevala, ''The Day the Earth Froze'' was originally called ''Sampo'' and it was released in 1959. The film was produced as a Finnish/Soviet co-production and it was directed by famous Russian director of fantasy films, Aleksandr Ptushko (of ''[[Film/{{Sadko}} The Magic Voyage of Sinbad]]'' and ''[[Film/IlyaMuromets The Sword and the Dragon]]'' fame). It was filmed in Ukraine, Finland and Russia and starred actors from Finland and different parts of the Soviet Union. Each scene had to be shot four times, as it was dubbed in two languages (Russian and Finnish) and filmed in two aspect ratios (standard and anamorphic widescreen).

* LargeHam: Louhi gesticulates rather dramatically and her English VA delivers all her lines in a cartoonish wicked witch voice, as well as yelling most of the time.

* {{Bishonen}}: Damn, Lemminkäinen is pretty. His clean-shaven face and shoulder-length blond hair give him an almost feminine appearance.

* EndlessWinter: The WickedWitch Louhi steals the sun at one point to cause this, as the sun is [[ArtisticLicenseSpace just a 10-foot wide glowing orb in the movie.]]

* MindScrew: The movie has a very confusing plot and a lot of odd moments, such as Louhi ''stealing the sun''. [[JustifiedTrope justified,]] as the [[Literature/TheKalevala source material]] is pretty bizarre as well.
