The music at the end is so beautiful. I feel like I've heard it before, or something very similar. It sounds like a very classic piece of music, and I love how Ivan says he's happy for Vassilissa to return as a frog, so long as he can have her in his life ♡
What a beautiful film! In the folktale, the prince is always ready to shoot the wildlife because he is afraid of them, but he refrains from killing them when he hears them beg for their lives. It is a common element in fairy tales. The magic fish in the Grimm's fairy tale, "The Fisherman's Wife." This film was so wonderfully animated in traditional cel animation. So much artistry and work went into this production. There is a wonderful book, "The Frog Princess," illustrated by the Russian illustrator, Grennady Spirin. His work is truly spectacular, done in watercolors.
Gennady Spirin I think...I remember seeing some of his work in a gallery in Princeton years ago with our daughter when she was still a little girl. He is amazing. She grew up to be an artist illustrator too! Great Illustration does not get it's due in the art world I think. It is a combination of several gifts. I am an artist but I do not 'illustrate'. But watching my daughter create worlds in her art completely from her imagination and observation of the real world, I am amazed. So a stunning artist combined with an amazing imagination and a poets understanding of the literature...pure genius. www.bing.com/images/search?q=gennady+spirin+illustrator&qpvt=Genaddy+Spirin+illustrator&qpvt=Genaddy+Spirin+illustrator&qpvt=Genaddy+Spirin+illustrator&FORM=IGRE
How wonderful that your daughter is an illustrator! You sound like you are very proud of her. It would be fantastic to see Spirin's work in person. I am sure that the printed illustrations look different from the originals. I agree that Gennady Spirin is definitely a genius! The photo of him on Bing makes him look like a fairy tale character! May you and your daughter enjoy many years together in good health, prosperity and joy! Best wishes, Dianna
Thank you Dianna. I thought you would like the illustrations. There were only a few pieces in the gallery that was there at that time and I am not sure still is. But we knew who he was because of the Chrildren's books. It has been an eye opener to see the true gift of illustration.
You may want to check out Pinterest for fairy tale illustrations. There are some amazing illustrators from the 19th and early 20th centuries. One of my favorites is N.C. Wyeth. Dover books has many books with illustrators. Have fun checking them out!! Have a good week!
Just wanna take a moment to appreciate the old man for calling out the prince for taking Vasalisa’s frog skin and burning it. Like, yea dude, why are you burning your wife’s stuff? This fairytale going to easy on you, had to add a few more obstacles?
thank you for uploading this! i've been reading this wonderful stories since i was a kid! though the stories is a little darker than the animation. And i remember how the princess also have to make a bread for the king,and asking the night wind to make the bread rise, ^0^
Just as I remembered, except for one part: I recall the Prince exclaiming, "My little frog! Where is my little frog?" because my brother kept repeating it "My little frog!"
That's some dub change when Ivan talks to Baba Yaga... the original had him asking why she doesn't offer him a dinner before asking questions. And not in the most respectful tone, BTW.
You know, people need to give Ivan a bit of a brake here at least in this part. He could have easily not listen to the animals. And he immediately set out to save Vasalissa (sp?) immediately without any provisions.
Ivan is running around trying to shoot animals instead of focusing on following the twig. "Thank you for your kindness" he shouldn't be aiming at them in the first place.
Hilary, you are NOT alone. I too remember the version you're talking about. In fact, I wish that one was available as well. What probably happened was two different distributors purchased the American distribution rights to this film. It happens occasionally, particularly if a foreign film has several owners. A case of where one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Anyway, as you said, the princess' name in that American translation is Marilinda. I also recall that the sorcerer's name as Kogart. The distributors of this version decided to change things around a bit. The animation is the same, of course, but they started with the king ordering his sons to find brides, with Ivan's arrow falling at the feet of the frog and marrying her. He has to deal with the derision from the court and his father for his actions, until Marilinda shows up in human form at the feast, and explains how she was transformed into frog by Kogart. The scenes where Marilinda is abducted - which are at the beginning of the version provided by Karla Wong - were placed here in the version we remember. I actually like it better, because it gave the story an air of mystery. However, one scene that had to be cut was Marilinda singing and creating the rug - because that would have given things away. Instead, all we see is Marlinda as a frog presenting the rug to Ivan. You know the rest. The voices and dialog were different. Much of the story was provided by an unseen narrator. Another reason I like this version better is because I think the actors took themselves a bit more seriously, and those person who wrote the dialog did not make it as stilted. If anyone knows where you can find a copy of the alternative English version, I'd be very interested in buying it. Hope this helps.
There was a better dubbing that used the original sound track mostly. It was cut up into serial form and shown as cartoon shorts on childrens TV shows in Chicago when I was a child.
Hi there. I remember that version too! (We must be about the same age.) This version, if I recall, used a narrator, and I think the voices were better. It also was more of a mystery in the beginning, because it started with the prince and his brothers being ordered by their father the king to find brides for themselves. They shot arrows, and the prince had to marry the frog because the arrow landed at her feet. It was only later in the story that she was revealed to be an enchanted princess. The names were also different as well. As I recall, the princess was called "Merilynda," the prince was named "Dorian," and the old sorcerer was "Korgart." I'd love it if someone could post that version.
one question that rises is what is the price of gold? - it does have majestic power - however, one should also be creative with all the other things in life. How to treat beauty - is something would should respect, but not get cared away with because it tends to weaken the mind - when we miss the beauty of our ears and of our imagination then life gets dull!

Russian cartoons have the most beautiful animation, music, and teach kids that goodness and friendship always wins.
Because the Slavs are good people. Those who are wise see the magnificence of Mother Russia.

I really love that Baba yaga's charactereristic. She's cunning, evil, dangerous, but she also gladly helps our main character in need for her sake.

Another illustrator you'll love is Arthur Rackham. Just brilliant! Whether he uses pen and ink or watercolors, his work is always remarkable.
I love these cartoons. I watched them when I was small in the 80s. Thank you for uploading these videos in English.

The animation is so smooth, I love it.
I know! It looks like they're dancing :)
I would fail. Loosed myself while Baba Yaga was giving the instructions
4:03 Smooth as heck.
Also Baba Yaga is a psycho, I love her :'D
Anyway thank you so much for uploading this ^o^

yes there is actually 3 task that princesses hv to complete and weaving the rug is the last one, I think this is a short version
i loved this movie as a kid. looking at it now i still like it but holy crap is this prince a jerk.

Yeah, he was spoiled and self-centered at the beginning, but he grew up, he learned from his wife to be a better person
I'm pleased he learnt to be kinder and also learnt to appreciate animals more. After all, the woman he grew to love had been transformed into one ♡
I’m glad Vasilisa didn’t stay a frog forever.
I love this happy ending
it was nice, but I think its mean that he would threaten the animals for favors .
he scared them because he was either scared of them or wanted food. he had to give up safety and food to get favors.
What is gandalf doing in this
So unusual and funny to hear fairy tales in English
Кащей бессмертный - Kaschei the immortal 😁😁😁👍
As far as I know, all the videos I have up are the only English dubbed tales from that series.
Thank you...I haven't seen this since I was a kid. May you be blessed (5-july-2019)
If I am not mistaken, this episode is from the series Stories from My Childhood, Russian animated folktales.
Ivan is running around trying to shoot animals instead of focusing on following the twig. "Thank you for your kindness" he shouldn't be aiming at them in the first place.
babayaga is awesome
Somehow I remember the audio being different. The music was entirely different, and her name was Marilinda in the version I remember.
Mandela effect or alternate universe 🤔👍

Baba Yaga is known as the Devil’s Grandmother
