Good - launched into the world, will surely return to you. It's boomerang law. Tested by life. A week of watching the Soviet animation. Cartoon 7th (final).
So our week of Soviet animation came to an end. And we decided to finish it with this fabulous cartoon, which my daughter just loves. Yes, I love it myself since childhood, but how many years I watched, I never paid attention to what year it was released. Only today I noticed that it was removed as early as 1948, almost immediately after the war. Katayev's story is wonderful. Cartoon Tsekhanovsky very, very good: Accurate, expressive, bright, memorable!
The girl, like all her girlfriends, dreams of getting a magic wand so that she can fulfill any desire. And one day a miracle happens! Genya did not immediately believe that the flower that happened to be in her hands was magical. And she decided to see if that was true. Of the seven wishes that could be fulfilled with the help of a seven-flower flower, the first six were made for herself. And then suddenly I realized that it is more important not to make wishes for yourself, but to help people. Then she wondered what she could do to help the boy next door. And she found a solution to this difficult issue.
I also dreamed of having such a flower as a child, but at the age of Jeanine, I would also order a lot of toys, a lot of chocolate and a bicycle. But then, later, at 13-14, when I watched this cartoon, I approached making wishes more consciously. Then I already had something to order, really worth it. The first is the ability to read the thoughts of all living beings on the planet, including people. It’s great, I looked him in the eye and immediately understood how he felt about you. Then you immediately understand how to build relationships with people, animals and everything around. The second is the ability to teleport (so that you can easily travel around the world, just think where you want to be, and immediately, and there). The third is the ability to easily communicate with people of any country and understand each other (as in foreign dubbed films), when everyone speaks their own language, but everyone understands each other perfectly. The fourth desire has always been calm and happiness for all people of the world, so that there are no wars and diseases in the world, but people always have a desire to walk in the world, as if they want to be friends with their own friends. Well, throwing the seventh petal in the wind, she would order a magic wand to always be able to help people with magic, and sometimes to pamper herself. Now watching this cartoon, sometimes I think that all my seven wishes, which I had at 14 years old, still remain, now I would also enjoy using such a flower.
This good old Soviet cartoon with an interesting plot directly charges the soul with infinite good, ennobles thoughts, encourages you to do good deeds, just like in the song Shury "Do good". A beautiful idea makes, willy-nilly, sometimes on occasion to review this story of a girl Genie, first thoughtlessly for trifles, who spent magical petals, but then managed to help the boy Vite. This action is undeniably respectable and sympathetic. The picture here is a little pale, but it does not cut the eye at all, and the emphasis here is clearly made on the content. But it is drawn well, which is typical for Soviet cartoons. The moral of the story is banal, to help a person who finds himself in a difficult situation is much more important than his own fleeting desires. Like all Soviet cartoons, and cinema and literature, he teaches kindness to others, today such ideology certainly looks archaic, although in the given circumstances it looks natural.
On the one hand, I always thought that Genya wasting the petals of a flower on all sorts of nonsense. I thought more globally, but I didn’t take into account the realities of the time. Maybe if a flower fell into the hands of a modern child, he would pragmatically order himself a million dollars. But what use was such a big money in a country where only 3 years ago the war ended? What can I buy with that money? But that doesn't justify some spontaneous decisions like the North Pole. In general, it is instructive in the sense that you need to think first, and then wish. Although the cartoon does not contain any hints of what a happy Soviet country children live in, yet at the very end we see such a subtle and hidden ideological thing. Children who have a kind grandmother raised another flower go somewhere forward, home probably or walk, but from the outside it seems that at least save the world. A little pompous ending in the spirit of a bright future. And so, is quite a good cartoon, the plot here is of course naive, but kind, of course, I recommend. How many cartoons have not been filmed, the soul strives back to childhood, where it is enough to recall the spell "Fly, petal" and everything will come true, the main thing is to believe in it.
This film is interesting to me from a visual point of view. It is interesting to consider the drawn puppy children, characteristic and recognizable Stalinist architecture. The episode when Genya is at the North Pole is ingenious. The bear is so terrible that watching the cartoon for the hundredth time, every time you catch yourself wanting to run away. And the voice of the young Natasha Zaschipina gives the image of the main character of the fairy tale a special charm.
This book is a must-see for kids now. There is a lot of violence and murder on television. This cartoon, very kind, it teaches you to think not only about yourself, but also about others. “Charity, it always helps and saves people.” I have always said and said, it is not Beauty that will save the world, but GOOD, from which love, beauty, and compassion, and all other spiritual qualities, are born. Children should watch our good old cartoons, they have meaning, attention, kindness in every story.
This cartoon is remembered for a lifetime and I want to watch it more than once! I often turn it on to my daughter and she enjoys watching it! In addition, it is very beautiful and colorfully painted. Unfortunately, modern cartoons are quite cruel and bring up in children not the best qualities. I'm a person who likes movies. Although I am not 5 years old, it is still a pleasure to see our Soviet cartoon. It teaches you to appreciate people close to you. I advise everyone to watch it with children and explain what is good and what is bad!
