them into a cocked hat.
We'll knock them alright!
I'm deathless!
They will never
find my death!
Oh, uncle, I got tired of waiting for
you. Have you found Koschei's death?
What?
There was a hitch. We blew it.
A duck flew out of the hare.
I turned into a falcon, caught up
with it, hit it, and an egg fell out.
I caught the egg and clobbered it
with my beak...
Who ever clobber eggs with beaks?!
A needle with Koschei's
death is hidden in the egg!
That's the problem.
The needle broke out
and fell in a haystack.
- I was searching for it, but...
- We need a magnet.
What magnet?
We haven't invented such here yet.
You got a tailor's scissors?
Yes, we got scissors.
What for?
Scissors are like the magnet,
they'll attract any needle.
Give us the scissors, uncle.
This is a futile idea,
you'll just waste your time.
It'll take you no less than 12
calendar hours to get to the seashore.
- It'll be faster on a bike.
- Well, if on a bike...
The ball will show you a shortcut.
But hurry up, Mitya.
Soon the battle will begin!
Well, Vasilissa Afanasyevna!
Let's pray and begin.
Why shed blood in vain?
First we need to talk.
What do you have to say?
Vasilissa Afanasyevna the Wisest
and Tsar Makar,
to avoid bloodshed, propose
that you confess and plead guilty.
Then you'll be forgiven,
punished and pardoned.
Pardoned?
No, let them plead guilty.
And I'll pardon them then.
Or maybe not.
Shoot him in the back from your bow.
- How?
- Just like that!
So that our troops
had no way back.
Waking me up?!
Coming, Your Majesty.
Well?
Is there such a brave man among you
who will come out one on one
against me?
Here I am, Nightingale! Meet me.
What's the matter?
Well, Nicingale,
how are you seeling?
Shame on you!
He's teasing me!
Serves you right, fat belly!
You should have been smarter.
Now is my turn.
Wait, Makar, we can't win them
by numbers. We need to use brains.
Have you got everything ready, uncle?
One more enchanting moment,
one more explosive log.
Run for your lives!
No, Your Majesty,
you sort it out between yourselves.
And I... I...
I'd better sit here and watch
what will be the result.
If Koschei gets away, that'll be
a great disaster.
Forward, boys!
You've won.
It seems our time has not come yet.
And it will never come.
Take him away.
To the dungeon.
For my deftness and smartness,
I was given
this magic wonder here.
It makes tea,
it boils milk.
It's called samovar.
Yes, a samovar!
Mitya, how do you manage
your two-wheel machine?
- You don't know how to ride it?
- No.
Come on, I'll teach you.
All right.
A good boy. A redhead!
Look what a needle
my grandson got me.
It will last for a hundred years.
Sure, this is a cool needle.
I've never seen such in my life.
You'll know many a magic tale,
About the turnip, the golden key,
And Chernomor, who, of no avail,
With his beard scared everybody.
And in the end, for the whole world
to wonder,
After all the adventures and fights
through which you pull,
You'll get filled with real merry
candor
And become as clever as Ivan the Fool.
- But why?
- Because.
I don't like when a fairy tale ends.
Oh, how quiet and how pallid,
Oh, how wondrous and how weird,
Oh, how frightening and how droll,
But the end will be happy for all!
The End
