A new movie "Abracadabra"
Children under 16 are not admitted.
Grandma!
- What is it?
- It's so dark! I'm scared!
- You chickenheart.
- No, I am not!
Oh, my goodness!
You're just not yourself!
What do you mean?
It's me, just like always.
Don't pick your nose.
It's not proper.
Big deal!
Those absurd expressions again!
Take a look in the mirror.
You look like a monster.
I'm not a monster!
- Stop clowning!
- I look nice!
We're going to wash up, change
and look neat.
- It's cold!
- A capricious child.
You're going to freeze the child!
Why are you so late?
I've got my leg chafed.
And why did you yell?
Where's your key?
- Which key?
- To the entrance door.
- I don't know.
- You always lose things.
I'm going to tell your parents about
everything when they're back.
Me too!
Stop teasing the parrot.
All right, calm down.
I won't tell anybody.
- Neither about the apron?
- Neither about the apron.
- Honest?
- Honest.
I'm going to the janitor to get
a spare key.
I'm hungry!
We'll have dinner as soon as
your parents are home.
I'm thirsty!
And don't touch sweets. I don't
want you to spoil your appetite.
Oh, child, if only you could look
at yourself
from the outside, with other people's
eyes.
Oh, grandma, grandma...
I see nothing wrong.
A girl like any other.
In fact, a very good-looking girl
from any side.
I'm a girl who's ever cheerful,
Endearing, not fearful,
I'm a girl who's even beautiful
From every practical side.
And people love me, cheerful,
Endearing, not fearful,
From every side even beautiful,
They love me very much.
Be quiet.
Behave yourself.
Whatever I want I'm allowed,
My every wish is humored,
What has been put in the cupboard
Was put there for me!
For me?
For me!
- I'll tell on you!
- Tattletale!
Ah, Olia, Olia...
Who is it?
It's me, the mirror.
Mirrors don't talk.
I'm not an ordinary mirror,
I'm a magic mirror.
Magic? Like in fairy tales?
Yes, a fairy-tale mirror.
- Who are you, girl?
- I'm your reflection.
My name is Ailo, and yours is Olia.
How did you guess?
Because if I'm your reflection,
then I must have the same name,
but back to front.
Interesting.
So Ailo is Olia read backwards?
- And where's Barsik?
- I don't know.
Barsik!
- Where are we?
- I don't know yet.
There was at Grandma's
A little gray goat.
- One-two, one-two...
- A big fatty goat.
The little gray goat
Was adored by the Grandma.
- One-two, one-two...
- Was cooked by the Grandma.
The little gray goat
went running to forest.
- One-two, one-two...
- She has eaten the goat.
Granddads!
- What?
- Who?
Have you seen our Barsiks?
Who are granddads here?
Him.
Oh, him! You're a granddad!
No, it's you!
- We're granddads?
- Yes.
Look over there.
Do we look like granddads?
- You got it?
- Not really.
I'm the Important Master of Ceremonies
of the most royal of all kings...
And I'm the Most Important
Master of Ceremonies!
All right, let him
reign forever,
our King Torrap!
Let him reign!
- Torrap?
- Parrot.
It's not funny!
You're in the most crooked
Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors!
Is this the Kingdom
of Crooked Mirrors?
That'
