Fear the boy!
Cut it out! I don't fear anyone.
And I say you should fear.
I just don't get it.
I don't warn you - you don't like it,
I do warn you - you don't like it.
I'm a thousand years old.
I can't work in these conditions.
My nerves are on edge.
Will you ever shut up?!
Jump!
- Or are you scared?
- Who?! Me?!
- Where are we?
- Inside the Stone Tower.
Ivan!
Ivan, don't. He's alive.
Yeah right, alive. Solid stone.
Back in place.
Let's go.
Statue!
Ardars are the army of the Stone Princess.
The Stone Princess is my mom.
Only,
I rarely see her.
She's usually very busy.
Give me your hand.
You won't make it on your own here.
Your hand
it's warm, alive…
Well that's because I am... alive.
Do all humans have hands like that?
You didn't know that?
Let's go. We have little time.
There is one prophesy.
Only the Great Master will be able
to bring to life the Alatyr Stone.
And when that stone comes to life,
the Stone Princess will be able to leave the Tower
and will gain power over the entire
living world, not only stones.
My mom is really hung up on this subject.
Now every 100 years
she kidnaps a master of stone carving,
forces him to work,
to chip away at Alatyr piece by piece
and carve all sorts of trinkets,
to make them come alive.
But nothing works.
Help me.
Where did you get this from?
When I was very little,
my mom kidnapped one master.
He was so kind.
He had hands just like yours.
Just as warm.
Father…
Where is he? Where is my father?
He is no more.
- She? The Stone Princess?
- Yes.
If only I could get my hands on her…
Are you sure that's what you want?
More than anything else in the world!
Alright.
This is the Book of Great Stone Artisans.
Several generations of masters
have been writing it.
The last one was your father.
Read it till the end,
and you will become the Great Master.
Then the Stone Princess
will find you herself.
But her power is great. Be careful that you
don't spend the rest of your life here.
So think about it, Ivanushka.
Though, what is destined to happen
cannot be avoided. That's all.
Time for us to get out of here.
Jump into the well
and you'll be home in no time.
Any well is
an enterance into the magic world.
So, you can really jump into any well?
You can. Only it
will not open up to everyone.
Well…
Time for you to go!
Go on!
Katya… Will I ever see you again?!
What is destined to happen
cannot be avoided.
Go ahead, jump!
Goodbye, Katya.
I'll be waiting for you, Ivanushka.
"And so Ivan began to study
the Book of Great Stone Artisans.
Countless secrets
were stored in that book.
For a whole year Ivan studied the book
and carved miraculous objects out of stone.
He forgot about the world outside,
stoped keeping track of time.
He ate rarely.
Only one thought consumed his mind:
'I will become a Great Master of stone carving,
such as the world has never seen.'
Pride gripped hold of Ivanushka."
Where have you ever seen
that a dead stone
would come to life?
You're a good friend, Kuzma,
only foolish.
Do you have a dream?
Ha?
A dream! Something you desire
more than anything else.
- More than anything?
- Yes.
I do have. A pineapple!
What?!
I've seen it in a book.
There exists such a fruit called "pineapple."
And I realized: I can't die, untill
I try this fruit.
I just really want a pineapple!
That's it?
Alright, only you won't tell anyone?
Promise?
Vanya,
I am really in love with Klava…
I want it, I want it, I want it!
I want to get married! To Ivan!
Again?
We're having a holiday. The lady
ordered us to bake a wedding cake.
- A holiday?!
- Yes.
My daughter wants to marry a peasant.
- Is that the holiday we're having?!
- Yes, yes.
If she wants to marry a peasant,
then let her marry a peasant!
- Bring Ivan here quickly!
- Yes, Sir.
- Why have you come?
- As if you don't know?
You've cut off all ties with society.
Sitting here, doing who knows what.
Maybe you're up to
