The cartoon “Canterville Ghost” is a kind of film adaptation of the work of O. Wilde, decorated with the voices of venerable actors. A wealthy American family acquires a castle in England with more than three hundred years of history. The owners of the castle explain that the ghost of Simon Canterville lives in it. The British consider it their duty to warn new owners, even knowing that it may scare them away. But the news caused the pragmatic head of the family completely different thoughts. He took the ghost as an extra commodity for which he would have to pay. The astonished owner replied that he could take the ghost for free.
Every morning, Americans find a red spot on the floor. The father of the family tries to bring it out, but the next day it reappears. The ghost is trying to intimidate the owners. He rattles chains at night, but the new owner of the castle simply complains that he prevents them from sleeping and offers lubrication to make the chains less noisy. Children, seeing a ghost, are also not afraid, and begin a fun hunt for him. And no matter what the ghost does, it turns out that the twins give him much more inconvenience than he gives them.
An annoyed Simon Canterville recalls the old days when the castle was inhabited by lords and noble ladies who were so easy to scare. And the new owners don't take anything. One day he meets the young daughter of an American couple, who learns that it was a ghost who stole her colors in order to paint a stain. Having communicated with the ghost, she is imbued with sympathy for him and even the fact that he killed his wife, the girl is not particularly embarrassed, because she was bad herself and did not know how to cook. At the end of the film, the girl helps the ghost find freedom, which he is incredibly happy about. But the father of the family is upset, and he has his reasons for this.
Interesting facts
During the creation of the cartoon, the technology of translucent pouring or “blurring” was first used.
Production designer Lana Azarch admitted to a press source that the work on the Canterville Ghost project was not combined with any ideological issues related to Britain. In order to make the castle as similar as possible to the real one, she studied the “spirit of the country” in libraries.
The cartoon “Canterville Ghost” was the third adaptation of the work of O. Wilde. In 1944 and 1964, two feature films were created on the same theme. close

The traveler frog has become a household name for all mountain tourists whose voyages end in fiasco. And Vsevolod Garshin came up with this image, from under whose pen came many instructive stories. One of them formed the basis of the eponymous cartoon "Travel Frog". The roles were voiced by talented Soviet actors Rostislav Plyatt, Mikhail Yanshin, Erast Garin, Elena Ponsova and Larisa Pashkova. The film was shot by Vyacheslav Kotenochkin and Alexander Trusov.
Unprecedented flight
The plot unfolds on a swamp, which was visited by ducks, crouched to rest before a long and complex flight to warm lands. An incredibly curious groove enters into a conversation with them, confident that dinner will not be for them - it is too big and slippery.
Fascinated by the story of the south, where there are the same swamps, there are clouds of appetizing midges, and most importantly, the warmth, groove-eyed heroine in every possible way begs migratory birds to take her with them. Ducks would be happy to take, but they do not know how she is going to fly there without wings.
The desire at all costs to visit where the midges themselves ask for a mouth helps the amphibian to find a brilliant in its simplicity way out - two ducks will take a strong branch into their beaks, and the frog will grab it with its large mouth. Amazed by her intelligence, the birds agree and go along with the traveler on a long road.
Perhaps the croak would have reached the promised south, if not for her boasting. Like the crow in Krylov’s fable, she did not stand the test of flattery and lost her only chance to be far away in warm lands. And yet everything ended well for the traveler. Floating in a foreign swamp, she began to tell amazing stories about her adventures in distant countries, which had nothing to do with reality. And she continued to look forward to the sky, waiting for the ducks to descend again next to her and take on their risky voyage.
The second life
The 1965 cartoon was re-released on DVD as part of the collection “Merry Adventures”, which collected animated films “Soyuzmultfilm”, the plot of which somehow related to travel.
According to the fairy tale of Vsevolod Garshin, three animated films have been shot at the moment: in 1965 by Vyacheslav Kotenochkin, in 1996 by Valentin Karavaev and in 2005 by Alexei Bovkun. The film Karavaev participated in the competition program of the festival "Tarusa-1997". close

Zhenya, the heroine of the animated film “Flower-Sevenflower”, walked around the city with a bunch of sheep. A dog was hiding behind her. Looking at the crow, she did not notice how the dog pulled one lamb off the rope and instantly swallowed it. The others followed. When the little girl managed to see where the last sheep disappeared, she rushed after the dog, but she ran away, driving the girl to an unfamiliar place.
It was a wonderful garden! But Zhenya did not like the flowers – she cried, remembering that on the run she had forgotten the road she was chasing the dog. Walking through the garden, she met an old woman who calmed her down and led her.
A few minutes later, the girl was at home, she again had lambs in her hand. She didn't seem to change at all. But, nevertheless, one change was – in her right hand Zhenya held a magical flower.
Wish fulfillment
The gift of the old sorceress had seven petals of the same colors as the stripes of the rainbow. It was necessary to tear one off, pronounce a spell and call the wish as it was immediately fulfilled. But what can a naive little girl do?
Zhenya spends the magical power of a flower on dangerous and stupid orders six times in a row. Then she finds herself at the North Pole - without warm clothes, in her summer dress, and then with the help of a petal returns home. Then she wants all the toys in the world to belong to her, and then has to stop a million army of dolls and plush toys of all shapes and suits with another petal. Finally, having decided to get a lot of sweets and a few useful things, Zhenya prepares to pick the last petal. And here...
Good cause
Getting carried away, Zhenya spoke out loud, afraid to miss something from the desired - because she had only one chance. And then someone called her, and the chatterer saw the boy Vitya on the bench. Not noticing that there were crutches next to him, Zhenya offered a new friend to play with her in sled. It was not easy for Vita to admit to a pretty girl that he was a cripple for life, but Zhenya was even glad: now she will cure him! Resolutely removing a stalk with a single petal from the pocket, the little sorceress began to pronounce a spell.
History of a fairy tale
The cartoon “Flower-Seven-Flower” was created based on the work of Valentin Kataev in 1948 – long before modern animation technologies appeared. The film does not impress with special effects, but it has a lot of sincerity and kindness embodied in each painted frame. close
