In 1808, the famous Russian publicist and fabulous writer Ivan Andreevich Krylov wrote the work “Dragonfly and the Ant”. This is one of the most famous fables of Krylov, but not everyone knows that the fable with a similar name and absolutely the same plot was written many centuries ago by the famous Aesop. It's called "Ant and Cicada." To the working ant comes the cicada, who sang and cheered all summer, asks him to shelter the purse, but the ant, hearing her story, with a loud laugh declares: "Well, then dance in winter." As you can see, this story became a classic, it was used not only by Krylov, but also by Jacques de La Fontaine and other fabulous artists.
An old story in a new key
The film adaptation of Dragonflies and Ant was published in 1963, the animated film was directed by Nikolai Fedorov. At the very beginning of the cartoon, the dragonfly sleeps quietly in the crib, hiding with a leaf. Her sleep is disturbed by an ant that is very close to her stuck on a truck loaded with bamboo stems (probably to strengthen an anthill), entangled in a web. He does not manage to unravel the web in order to drive further, and he asks for help from the dragonfly, to which she gestures that she will not help him, and then goes to bed again. Fortunately for the ant, its relatives drive up, and together they free the car from the web.
Life is boiling in the anthill: adult ants get a job, children go to school, several workers nail a banner with the words “Time is fun!” Anthill construction is underway. What about the dragonfly? When she wakes up, she picks a berry hanging over her head to feed herself, washes it down with a drop of dew, pretzels and goes to dances. And there's already fun going on. Dancing couples gallop on flowers and leaves, gallop everywhere. They even fly past the anthill, disrupting the ants' work, classes at school, disfigure. Even the sun isn't thrilled with carefree dancing dragonflies and beetles who don't think about the coming winter at all.
And then the autumn came, and then it snowed – winter came. The dragonfly went to the ant to ask for accommodation for the night to shelter and warm it. And he, having listened to her story, having learned that she did not work in spring, summer, or autumn, did nothing useful, he answered her: “Did you sing everything?” This case. So go, dance!, and then handed a shovel. It was an unambiguous hint that you should not only have fun, but also work.
Action and sounds
Most of the film is accompanied only by music, and the text of the fable Krylov sounds at the end, when winter comes and the frozen dragonfly, wrapped in a dried leaf, goes to the ant. close
