The film is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, first published in 1844. The popular story has been animated several times, including a 1957 Soviet animation.
Wizart Animation released its first instalment of Snow Queen in 2012, followed by the second in 2013.
Pokorskaya said that despite the film's relatively small budget, its animation has been praised by industry leaders.
"We have been approached by many representatives of major film studios, who said that when they first saw the picture, they didn't believe it wasn't a major studio."
When drawing the characters, the film's animators drew on research by US psychologist Paul Ekman, who has pioneered the study of emotions and facial expressions.
"Viewers have to see the protagonist and they have to trust him, and that's what we picked up from the book, because Ekman explains a lot of things in terms of psychology, he explains how people look when they are happy, sad or confused."
"We have long-standing relationships with our Chinese partner and we are trying to break the Chinese market, which we are quite close to doing," Pokorskaya.
"It's Asian- or China-oriented in terms of its entertaining elements. It has a lot of fire, it has a lot of action, it is action-packed which brings to mind a Chinese project."
