the soup!
Get in!
Where did you get this?
Get in!
- I want to see her.
- There she's coming!
So, stay here!
Once I knock, then you come out
and jump out the window.
- Katya! Are you coming or not?
- And…
Yes coming, coming!
It's…
Better for us to not go back.
He'll give us a whipping.
Oh, that's because
he doesn't respect us.
- And the Ardars don't respect us!
- O!
Hush! Men!
Men, look! A wild pig!
And so we thought that it was a wild pig.
We thought we'll catch it and…
…take it to our Barin.
Then we looked closer…
Oh, dear, dear, how could we mistake?
Our esteemed... for a wild pig…
Eagle! Eagle!
Your operation for saving my daughter
has been a success,
so you deserve a reward!
The most precious thing that I have
is my daughter…
She'll be yours.
- What do you mean "be mine"?
- Klavushka.
Klavdyusha!
Do you want to marry your savior?
I do...
want to marry Ivan.
The soup came out so bland,
there's virtually nothing in it.
No meat at all.
I have to go sleep
on an empty stomach.
Give the bones to the Grey Wolf.
Alright, Grandma.
Hey!
Fear the boy!
What?
I need to fear some boy?!
A-ha-ha-ha!
You've got a head injury.
Look at the crack in the mirror.
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 entrance 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,
stopped keeping track
