History YMMV / HedgehogInTheFog

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The score by Mikhail Meyerovich is hauntingly beatiful and perfectly fits what is happening on screen.
* EpilepticTrees: There are many philsophical discussions about the meaning of the film, though it's generally been interpreted about trying new things in life.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: ''Hedgehog in the Fog'' has perhaps some of the most breathtaking visuals in stop motion. So much so that a lot of people are shocked to learn it was made entirely using cardboard cutouts without any computers. The extremely realistic fog effects are just one example of how much effort was put into the short with the effect being created via the monotonous process of putting a thin piece of paper on top of the set and lifting it slowly towards the camera multiple times. To say nothing of the trees which you'd never know weren't real if someone never told you. And the scene where Hedgehog floats down the river looks like somebody sold their soul to animate.

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: It's a very surreal animated short film and is often proclaimed as one of the greatest animations ever made.

* NightmareFuel: The short has its share of unsettling moments.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: With its often surrealistic visuals, highly symbolic and interpretable imagery, open ending, and philosophical undertones, ''Hedgehog in the Fog'' might make a lot more ''sense'' if you're high, but it certainly wasn't made on drugs, nor was it specifically meant to appeal to psychedelia.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Hedgehog calling the owl a "weirdo".

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Sometimes it's good to change your schedule around and not live such a formulaic life.

* AluminumChristmasTree: The scene in which Hedgehog floats on his back down the river may appear to be some generous anthropomorphizing, but hedgehogs really ''can'' float in this way. Hedgehogs are extremely buoyant when on their backs, due to their quills containing many air chambers.
