Works better as an introduction.
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).

Added DiffLines:
* NonIndicativeTitle: The English-language version's title, ''The Day the Earth Froze'', makes it seem like some sort of sci-fi film or disaster movie rather than a fantasy film. Additionally, it makes the implication that the Earth freezing would be the central point of the film, but doesn't actually happen until the final act.

Finnish hero Lemminkäinen woos the fair damsel [[LoveInterests Annikki]], but an [[WickedWitch evil witch]] named Louhi kidnaps [[DamselInDistress Annikki]] in order to compel her brother Ilmarinen the blacksmith to build a [[TheSampo Sampo (a magical mill that cranks out riches)]]. Lemminkäinen and Ilmarinen travel to the witch's lair to rescue the maiden, but Louhi demands them to complete several tasks, including the construction of a Sampo. After Ilmarinen builds the Sampo, he and Annikki leave Lemminkäinen behind while he tries and fails to get the Sampo from Louhi [[NiceJobBreakingItHero and destroys it]].
