The Frog Princess [English] 1/3

[@MA-jy4im]

Blast from the past. You just returned me to my childhood by uploading all of these, I swear........... You are my absolute hero Ms. Wong. I love you, forever.

[@Hopeful_dreamer]

The animation is so beautiful! I'm very impressed.

[@organizationxua]

Oh, wow! My mother always told me the story of the frog princess; I can't believe I found it! I can't wait to show this video to her, she'll be thrilled. Thank you for uploading this video!

[@Lardon2]

Awesome! The Sovietic/Russian style of drawing is even more beautiful than the Disney one.

[@jfridy]

It does have some really solid rotoscoping and very fluid movements. Very lifelike.

[@CrystalClearNews]

I saw this back in the early 1960s, with my brother -- it was shown in serial form, on all the cartoon shows, and for a only a short while. In thinking about it, I realized it had to be a foreign anime. Glad to find this again. Thanks so much for uploading. They used the shot of her looking in a mirror as a frog as the title card.

[@shakirasolomon6967]

OMG!! I had this VHS and it was destroyed. Long story short I have been searching for this movie for ever!! Thank you for uploading. I cant wait to share these with my kids!

[@jameswatt460]

This and several other Russian cartoons were played regularly on a Chicago children's show called 'The Garfied Goose Show' from about 1957 to 1964.

[@yenvampy]

James Watt this was also played in Cuba (as told by my father since he showed me these)

[@ЕвгенийАндреевич-л1с]

i grew up in Russia watching American cartoons

[@debralerner8298]

oh this is much much better than disneys the princess and the frog beautifully animated beautifully told a joy to watch debra jane lerner

[@Mikazuchireborn]

Princess and the Frog felt pretty weak... the consequence of trying to stretch out the already thin story of the original. This version of the story had a lot more going to it, and had a really classic feel to it. Definitely the superior film!

[@Mizrab1000]

This is very good job. Please keep translating those wonderful stories .

[@SpicedPersian]

OH MY GOD! I have looked all over the world for this movie. Thank YOUUUUUU

[@steph3032]

Thank you so much for uploading my whole childhood

[@GreenGal984]

Thank you so much for posting these English dubbed fairy tales. Having to read subtitles is so distracting... I hope you have more! Thanks for making my evening!

[@Ahidaohi]

All melodies are changed, it's not fair, they were beatiful)

[@dalis721]

Unfortunately, in the West this often happens, especially in the USA. This applies not only to cartoons. In some countries, for example in Japan, the names of the characters in the film are generally changed. How can you transfer the soul of the film to someone else's music. Sometimes the translation is also incorrect. In the end, if all this is added up, the meaning of the film is lost.

[@louie5647]

This is so similar to The White Cat! Three brothers tasked with bringing their father, the king, certain things. The youngest meets a white cat who lives in a castle in the woods. She helps him with each task his father sets for him, eventually turning into a beautiful young maiden when the son is tasked with finding a bride. It's a really lovely fairy tale by the Baroness Orzcy if I'm correct.

[@zenitsu1909]

we`v` seen hat fairy tail recently, and wondered that it can be our favourite fairy taile at childhood, cause we adore cats))

[@Atalanta01]

LMAO I love this translation. Saw this as a kid, glad to see it again.

[@mountainmanws]

I view this animated series as a child on Captain Kangaroo. Loved it then as I do now. Thank you for posting this gem. Does anyone remember the series where two boys search for their lost father on the planet Mars? This sifi series was also on Captain Kangaroo.

[@missyminx5989]

The animation is too beautiful, to be honest more than Disney old ones. Probably cause is so well detailed, love it, there's lot of art. I would like to find more.

[@Telmarine55]

I stumbled onto this film by accident; I was in search of Disney's Princess and the Frog.. and this movie is wonderful! I'm surprised it's not more well known.. it's like a Russian Disney fairy tale!

[@violetphoenix13]

I remember having a vhs of random fairy tales... and this was one of them

[@justinw6609]

Beautiful animation!!! :)

[@soniacaponera9688]

Beautiful Story! Love it!

[@tytoguardian]

8:10 Poor princess got her heartbroken by a careless prince.

[@innerlight4601]

animation is so dreamy and fluid, Disney is nowhere close to this level of fineness. these princesses are not sexualised by narrow hips and large boobs like Disney princesses, they are chubby and healthy with pink cheeks 😊

[@DarkEcoMaiden]

Best story on the tape!

[@karllydolly]

I used to love this stories when I was a kid!!!

[@Zodia195]

Lol, I read this story in a book in school. No idea they made a show out of it. Russian Fairytales are lovely!

[@losilluminados3729]

Well dear viewers. Russian animations aren't so bad either are they?

[@anyanP]

Soviet animation. Soviet animation was a really interesting and unique piece of media. It wasn't perfect, but there was a lot of good stuff. Russian animation is in its dark ages. Since Soviet Union dissapear animation in Russia gone through hell. There are so few decent flicks (both in animated movies and tv-shows) in last 20 years.

[@brasspipes2548]

anyanP, I think same could be said about the Western animation. it's mostly computer animated sexualized crap.

[@anyanP]

integer, which exactly western animation? If we talking about US' animation there is a lot more than that. US have Disney that backing on track again, US have Pixar, that still decent. There is a god of stop motion animaton Laika. And this is only animated studios that making good full lenth movies for theater. There also a decent movies from less "consistently good" studios, like Dreamworks' movies. In straight-to-DVD area there was a lot of good-to-okay animated movies from DC. And US' animation for TV right now in it's revival era - CN with Adventure Time, Steven Universe, We Bare Bears and The Amazing World of Gumball, Disney with Star vs Forces of Evil and Milo Murphy's Law (and only recently ended Gravity Falls and Wander over Yander), even Nikelodion have some gems like Legend of Korra, Harvey Beaks and The Loud House. Netflix getting into animation as well with BoJack Horseman, Voltron and Trollhunters. And even it's "dark ages" of 00's US' animation was able to spawn decent, even good show once in a while. Yes there is a lot of crap, but there at least a lot of good stuff. Russian animation yeah, have less crap (probably), but it dosen't have any gems and only so few decent shows.

[@brasspipes2548]

Honestly I don't think either Disney or Pixar or DreamWorks have any decent cartoons left. The ones you listed are all computer animated, bland crap, nothing even close to King Lion, Aladdin etc etc

[@anyanP]

integer, i guess you just don't like computer animation. Because in terms of story, characters and over all quality recent Disney movies are as good as old ones, in particular Zootopia that in my opinion is one of the best Disney movies. Pixar... well, yeah, in latest years it didn't release sany masterpieces, but it still produces a good movies, like Inside Out (massivly overrated, but good) and Finding Dory. Dreamworks have some good movies in this dacade too, like Rise of the Guardians, Mr. Peabody & Sherma, How To Train Your Dragon 2 and Kung Fu Panda 3. And well, there is not only CGI. Laika's movies are stop-motion, DC's animated movies are hand-drawn. And almost all cartoons for TV that i mentioned are hand-drawn, only few of them made in flash and one is CGI.

[@CheerfulxLotus]

Wow, this is truly beautiful!

[@Colourfulmind7340]

very beautiful.

[@jurayneskazu64]

heh. That scene with arrows gave rise to many jokes. E.g. "prince don't want to marry then get an explosive arrow"

[@ИльяА.Г-ш5о]

idiot

[@bstarzewski]

The original sound track with clearer video is also available on youtube but with sub-titles.

[@katelynshoemaker4555]

She is so beautiful.

[@iliaghr8099]

yeah i got that.thanx for sharing ur knowlegde & helping pal!

[@tytoguardian]

8:01 Damn! Talk about making a bad impression by caring only by the looks of women!

[@b.lonewolf417]

Well, to be fair, there's also the whole "other species" issue....

[@lindseyemra9195]

There was a English dub of the 12 months dine by the same company. It was my favorite movie as a kid. Sadly I haven't been able to find it

[@unkown2615]

is it about a girl meeting the 12 month?

[@yenvampy]

Found this from my dad I’m not born in Russia but I’m exposed to the culture by my father mostly because he was exposed to this when he was younger in Cuba my favorite one is the snow queen I like the style

[@bstarzewski]

This is not the English dubbed version I remember. It was serialized and broadcast on children's after school TV shows and retained much of the original background music albeit not the singing. Some segments just had narration.

[@Hewylewis]

Thanks for posting!!

[@bqgin]

Hori Shitto! Was this animated 30fps? The animation is heavenly smooth!

[@thamiriss.844]

I knew this story as "The Cat Princess". Instead of a frog the princess was a kitty

[@iliaghr8099]

ok,thanx,there are lots oof other russian animations that icouldn't find with subs or dubbed,could u recommend some others plz?

[@samanthared376]

music is so beautiful 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍

[@Namavnchocolate]

thank you very much

[@gracielaorellana3923]

Hubieran de traducirlos todos al idioma español... También felicitar a los creadores de tan bonitos cuentos.

[@samanthared376]

beautiful

[@ktw00520]

Unfortunately I don't have either of those, sorry! Hope you can find them.

[@ktw00520]

There is none, sorry. These Russian cartoons are pretty hard to come by, so I don't think most movie databases list them.

[@Drezdenn]

music is terrible, original is much more atmospheric

[@assassinning5340]

"I could do worse" xD

[@jorgegarciaoowllwlwlwowlwl5411]

Super cuento clásico animado si lo pudiera traducir al español seria fantabuloso gracias

[@therhythmictale5574]

God I remember watching this when I was little (the Russian voices are of course a bit better but still :’)

[@Sarah276602]

04:24 she almost look like Tiana as a frog.

[@ylfriends]

The drawing is really beautifully done, but I find the dubbing too cheesy. I would rather watch in its original language. They US Americanized the characters too much.

[@katelynshoemaker4555]

(Laughs) That is funny.

[@Hewylewis]

Could you upload the english versions of The Golden Antelope and The Humpbacked Horse?

[@pinkprincesslexshue]

perfect

[@iliaghr8099]

could u plz give us the imdb link?

[@rnjnj80]

You can ask me. I know a lot of Russian animation with subtitles or dubbing.

[@veena_plays]

I Literally search like this to find this: animation movie there was King and he had 3 sons he said his sons to find Bride with arrow 2 sons found good wife last son find a frog and bring it as Bride

[@benlarsen4602]

Really, trees are made from gold?

[@starofjustice1]

Is that Richard Newman playing the devil???

[@eliseorodriguez6507]

Actually I like this music much better. I guess they Americanized it for our tastes.

[@rnjnj80]

Eliseo Rodríguez There is a problem with this guess. They released this version in many languages, not only in English.

[@latroletteeeee]

she eats too much pasta.

[@princessusagi3856]

OMG! That opening animation is so obviously traced from Snow White

[@IttyBittyNation]

FROzEn

[@kenlamtsz]

lol Snow White bows to trees and to animals???

[@natasha807]

美哭了QAQ

[@blackpiper2121]

Russian folklores were my favourite, Malachite casket by pavel bazov should be animated...the dubbings are horrible.

i don't like the gold king

[@sergeigrimanov5971]

He is undead. In past people associated gold with the kingdom of death.

[@acelynfury9992]

your right
