Description:

The most famous part of the film "Plasticine Crow" (far better than the first four minutes, I think). Direction by Aleksandr Tatarskiy (his first film as director) Russian words by Eduard Uspenskiy English translation by myself. There is a simple folk tale or maybe not a folk tale or maybe not so simple that we'd like you to hear we know it from our childhood or maybe from adulthood or maybe we don't know it but hope it will appear. One time there was a crow or possibly a dog or possibly a cow who struck a lucky score she found a piece of cheese about 200 grams or possibly 300 or maybe even more. She flew right up a pine or maybe didn't fly or maybe up a palm tree she ran right up from thence and there for some nice breakfasting or maybe for some dinner or maybe even suppertime she quickly made her plans. But here a fox was running or maybe wasn't running or maybe a mad ostrich or kind, we might presume Or possibly a sweeper who traipsed along the countryside to find the nearest hazel tree and carve himself a broom Oh listen my dear crow unless you are a dog or possibly a cow the finest cow of all your feathers are exquisite your horns are really something your hooves are nice and slim and what a kindly soul! If ever you should sing or maybe if you woof or moo, one might suppose (since cows moo a lot) then you'll get a big saddle a carpet and a TV; nice presents will be gotten or maybe will be got And so, the stupid crow, or possibly the dog, or possibly the cow, began to sing and crow... And from such awful singing, which may not have been singing, our population fainted as if from a great blow. The crow lost the cheese, or possibly the dog, perhaps it was the cow; on this we are agreed, and right atop the fox or possibly the ostrich or possibly the sweeper it fell with some great speed. The moral of this tale, which may not be a tale, not just a grown adult; a dwarf should understand don't ever stand, don't jump around, don't sing or even try to dance in off-limits construction zones where heavy things might land!

I know. :( I wrote an obituary over here: niffiwan.livejournal.c om/3194.html This was his first film. In the years after he made this (especially after the 1990s), he became one of the most important figures in Russian animation.

Here's the fairy tale (as it is told traditionally): a crow finds a piece of cheese, a wily fox comes along and praises the crow, the crow opens her mouth to show off her beautiful voice, and the cheese falls to the ground, whereupon the fox snatches it. I hope it makes a bit more sense now. ;)

I knew that tale with crow and fox. It was written by Aesopus and later by La Fontaine. But maybe there's another version also. Anyway I loved this video! It's very absurd and crazy.

Sorry I think it was too late and I had read "cow" instead of "crow" that'S why I wrote that previous comment but I realized there's only one letter difference so if you had written "cow" it only would have been a spelling mistake. (It would be a very mad story with a cow...:) ). Nevertheness the crow is sooooo cute!!!
