00:00In a land far far away, there was an old king and his seven princess daughters who loved to dance.
00:11The girls were so jealous that the king bought each of them the same dress to avoid a fight.
00:20But the princesses were still complaining about this situation.
00:26I'm so tired of wearing the same dress every day!
00:31We too!
00:33That day, while the youngest of the princesses was wandering around the palace in a bad mood,
00:39she heard loud noises.
00:41The noise was coming from behind a mysterious door in the palace.
00:45When she went and opened the door in curiosity, she was very surprised by what she saw.
00:52Because in front of her, there was a pair of red shoes that were moving on their own.
00:58The shoes came dancing and stood right in front of the princess.
01:03When the princess curiously put on the shoes, she started running at an incredible speed.
01:12Wow! How fast I'm running!
01:16The princess set out on a long desolate road wearing magical red shoes.
01:22Finally, the magical shoes stopped by themselves somewhere far away in front of a famous tailor.
01:30There were such beautiful dresses here that she asked the tailor for one of the dresses to wear at the ball.
01:38Of course! But remember, this dress punishes the selfish.
01:44The little princess took the dress and returned to the palace at the same speed, ignoring the tailor's words.
01:52She secretly placed her shoes under her bed while the others were sleeping.
01:57Because she didn't want to share her clothes with her sisters, she wanted them to be only hers.
02:04The next evening, all the sisters gathered to dance in the ballroom.
02:09While all six princesses were wearing the same old clothes,
02:13the seventh princess entered the hall in a different brand new dress.
02:19Curious, her older sisters asked the little princess where she got this dress from.
02:25But she didn't say anything and danced to the sad eyes of her sisters and enjoyed her new dress.
02:32Days passed. The little princess came to the ball in a different and new dress every evening.
02:40She didn't care at all about her sisters, who couldn't come to the ball because they had to fix their old clothes.
02:48On a prom night, the shiny buttons on the little princess's dress caught the middle sister's attention.
02:55She knew that these buttons were only found at a famous tailor far away.
03:00But it was impossible for the little princess to go and come back all the way to that distant tailor in one day.
03:08To solve this, the sisters decided that one of them would stand guard over the little princess.
03:15Wherever she went, one of her older sisters followed her and they never left her alone.
03:22Finally, one night, the little princess saw her older sister falling asleep during the watch.
03:29She took this opportunity and immediately put on her red magic shoes and bought another dress from the tailor.
03:37Oh! I got so many dresses! My sisters will be so envious!
03:45The next day, one of the older sisters noticed a huge tear in her old dress.
03:52She went and asked the little princess for help.
03:56I can't dance at the ball in this costume. Could you please give me one of your new clothes?
04:02No! I can't! They're mine! They're made for me!
04:07The little princess went to the dance alone, not caring for anyone.
04:12While she was dancing, showing off to the guests in her new outfit,
04:17one of her older sisters heard clattering under the little princess's bed.
04:22When she bent down, she saw the red magic shoes moving on their own.
04:27The moment the middle princess put on the shoes on her feet,
04:32she started running fast around.
04:36Whoa! What's going on?
04:39The middle princess was out of the palace in a blink of an eye.
04:44Where did she go?
04:46Wow! She was just here! How fast was she?
04:52The princess crossed the mountains and hills in a very short time.
04:57And when she finally reached that tailor, the shoes stopped on their own.
05:03She couldn't believe what she saw when she entered.
05:06Dozens of fancy, shiny dresses were standing in front of her.
05:11Ah! So she could get to and from the tailor so fast in magical shoes.
05:18Can I have a dress too?
05:20Of course! But remember, this dress punishes the selfish.
05:26The princess listened to the tailor's words.
05:29I promise I will never be jealous or selfish.
05:34Then she put on a new dress and returned to the palace at the same speed.
05:39On the other hand, while the little princess was dancing alone in the ballroom,
05:44her outfit suddenly turned into a shabby dress.
05:49Huh? What happened to my beautiful dress? What's going on? This is so embarrassing!
05:57While the guests were watching her with bewilderment,
06:00the little princess went back to her room crying.
06:04She searched everywhere for her magical red shoes to buy new clothes,
06:09but she couldn't find them anywhere.
06:12Ah! Where are my red shoes? Who took them? Tell me now!
06:17At that moment, her middle sister appeared before her with the magical shoes in her hands.
06:24Plus, she was wearing a brand new dress.
06:28Were you looking for these?
06:31Yes.
06:33The little princess thus realized that her secret had been revealed,
06:38and she was very embarrassed that she did not care about the tailor's words.
06:43Her older sisters told her that sharing is the most important thing in the world,
06:49and the little princess apologized to all of them.
06:53From that day on, she shared her magical red shoes with one of her older sisters every day.
07:00The shoes took turn taking the princesses to and from the tailor at incredible speed.
07:08Thus, all the princess sisters were able to buy new clothes
07:13and dance happily in the ballroom for nights.
07:21Once upon a time, there lived a king who had twelve beautiful daughters.
07:28These twelve princesses lived all together in a big beautiful room.
07:34The king protected his daughters with his heart,
07:37and when they went to bed at night time, he did not allow them to go out.
07:48But every morning, they would wake up to something very strange.
07:54The shoes of the princesses would all be worn out as if they had danced all night long.
08:02The king had to buy his daughters new shoes every day,
08:07but the following days after, the shoes just kept wearing out.
08:14Neither the king nor his men in the castle could solve the mystery of the shoes.
08:21How is this even possible? How can a pair of shoes worn out like that in just one night?
08:26Your highness, we can't understand.
08:29Finally, the king said,
08:31Whoever solves the mystery of my daughter's shoes will get to marry whichever daughter of mine he chooses,
08:38become my son-in-law, and get to be the king when I pass away.
08:44But he has three days and three nights to solve it.
08:47Otherwise, he will spend his life in prison.
08:52Many young men in the kingdom and even princes from other kingdoms came to the castle for the job.
08:59For days, they guarded the door of the twelve princesses' bedroom.
09:03But after some time, none of them could solve the mystery,
09:07and shoes continued to wear out by the night.
09:14Finally, a good-hearted young man also wanted to give it a shot,
09:19and so he made his way to the castle.
09:23On his way, he met a lanky old lady who looked very poor.
09:30My dear child, I am very hungry. Would you be kind enough to give me a piece of bread?
09:36The young man gave all the food he had in his bag to the old lady.
09:42She was very happy because the previous men who had passed didn't give anything.
09:51The old woman knew that this one was different than the others.
09:56So, in return, she gave him a magic cape.
10:01Take this magic cape. When you wear it, you will be invisible.
10:06When it strikes twelve o'clock at night, put the cape on, be invisible, and get in the princesses' room.
10:13This way you can solve the mystery of the shoes.
10:18But be aware, do not drink what the princesses give you.
10:22Oh, those nasty princesses!
10:25The young man took the magic cape and went to the castle.
10:30And when he arrived, he said that he was there to solve the mystery of the shoes.
10:35First day, when he was keeping guard in front of the princesses' room,
10:39the oldest princess came out with a glass of lemonade.
10:44You must be thirsty. We have prepared some lemonade for you.
10:49Please, have some.
10:51The young man forgot about the old lady's warning and drank it.
10:59Soon after, he was very sleepy.
11:03He fell asleep snoring all night in the room that they had prepared for him.
11:14When it was morning, the young man stood up in a panic.
11:25I was supposed to wear the magic cape and get in the princesses' room.
11:30On the second night, the young man once again kept guard in front of the princesses' room.
11:36This time, another princess came out with a glass of juice in her hand.
11:42The young man was so thirsty while keeping guard and waiting for the nightfall,
11:47without thinking, he drank all the juice that had been given to him.
11:56And of course, dozed off once again.
12:00The next morning, when he woke up, he finally remembered the old lady's words.
12:06But be aware, do not dream what the princesses give you.
12:11There must be a sleeping pill in the drinks the princesses give me.
12:15At that moment, the king came next to him.
12:18Two days have gone by and you still haven't solved the mystery of the shoes.
12:22If you cannot do it today, you will end up in prison and stay there for the rest of your life.
12:29The king finished his talk and went away.
12:32The young man had to solve this mystery today.
12:35That night, for the last time, the young man kept guard in front of the princesses' door.
12:41This time, the youngest princess came out with an orange juice in her hand.
12:45But the young man was aware now.
12:48He took the glass, thanking the princess.
12:51And when the princess left, he poured the orange juice in a pot next to him.
12:58This time round, he was standing tall.
13:02The night fell and soon it was midnight.
13:05The young man put his cape on and at that moment became invisible.
13:10Slowly he opened the door and could not believe what he was seeing.
13:15All of the princesses were wearing their most beautiful ball gowns,
13:19hair and makeup done with their very new shoes.
13:26Let's see if the young man at the door has fallen asleep.
13:29One of the princesses opened the door and looked outside.
13:33And another princess put her ear on the wall.
13:36At that moment, the young man knew that he had to make some snoring noises.
13:53The oldest princess pushed her bed aside and clapped her hands three times.
14:00A secret passage opened in the place of the bed.
14:03The young man could not believe his eyes.
14:06One by one, all the princesses walked inside.
14:11And of course, the young man followed.
14:16The secret passage was opening to a stairway which had hundreds of steps going down.
14:23When they were going down the stairs,
14:25at one point the young man accidentally stepped on one of the princesses skirts.
14:29Oh, somebody stepped on my skirt.
14:32Oh, nonsense. It was probably you.
14:37When the stairs had finished, they came into a forest.
14:41They went past tall trees with beautiful silver branches.
14:45The young man took a branch and kept following the princesses.
14:49After another long walk, they stopped on the edge of a river.
14:55In the river, there were twelve boats in the shape of swans.
14:59And in them, there were twelve princes waiting for the princesses.
15:04They got on the boats, and the young man got on the last one.
15:09The boat seems heavier than usual today.
15:12As if another person is on it.
15:14Strange.
15:16Oh, come on. Stop dreaming.
15:19When they crossed the river, they came across a big shiny castle.
15:23And they could hear music coming from inside.
15:28When he looked through the window, the young man saw many people dancing.
15:34As soon as they entered the castle, the princesses started to dance.
15:39They would never get tired and just kept on dancing.
15:44Of course, their shoes started to wear out.
15:47The young man could not bear his hunger anymore.
15:51So he took a slice of cake on the table and started to eat.
15:56The youngest princess saw this.
15:59Hey, my cake. My cake is floating as if someone invisible is eating it.
16:04Come on. Stop it with this nonsense.
16:07The young man took a golden cup from the table without anyone noticing.
16:12The princesses danced till the morning.
16:16Then they got on the boats, crossed the river,
16:20walked through the forest, walked up the very long staircase
16:24and finally they came back to their castle.
16:27But their shoes were all worn out.
16:29Once again.
16:32The young man was very happy that he had finally solved the mystery of the worn out shoes.
16:43A while later, the king came next to the young man.
16:47Your time is up today. Did you solve the mystery of the shoes?
16:51Yes, your highness. I did.
16:53And so he told him everything.
16:56The king didn't believe him at first.
16:59But when the young man showed him the silver branch from the forest
17:02and the golden cup from the shining castle,
17:05the king knew he was telling the truth.
17:10And so he kept his promise and granted him the right to marry whichever princess he chose.
17:16The young man said that he wanted to marry the youngest one.
17:22The twelve dancing princesses were clearly not happy because their secret was out now.
17:27But the young man and the youngest princess got married and lived happily ever after.
17:34One eye, two eyes and three eyes.
17:38In a land far far away, there was an old woman who lived with her three daughters.
17:45The eldest daughter was one-eyed,
17:48the middle daughter had three eyes,
17:51and the youngest daughter had two eyes.
17:55Their mother, the old woman, loved the oldest two the most.
18:02She would do whatever they wanted.
18:04Thank you so much, mother.
18:07The youngest daughter was always given the chores and housework.
18:13Even while they told her she was useless and incompetent.
18:21And they didn't even invite her to their dinner table.
18:27Mom, two eyes doesn't deserve to eat at this table with us
18:31because she can't do anything right.
18:35But I'm...
18:36So, the mother did not let her two-eyed daughter eat with them at the table.
18:43She was given only the leftover food after everyone left the table.
18:51Nevertheless, she kept her heart kind and helpful.
18:58One day, her one-eyed and three-eyed older sisters came to the girl with two eyes.
19:06They insulted her and threw dirty laundries on her.
19:11You didn't wash these clothes well.
19:13Wash them again.
19:19Two eyes left the house crying.
19:23She went to the river to wash the laundry again.
19:29Why are my sisters treating me like this?
19:32What did I ever do to them?
19:35While the two-eyed girl was weeping, a fairy appeared before her.
19:40The fairy dazzled the two-eyed girl with her shining outfit.
19:46But she kept her face hidden from her.
19:50Why are you crying, two-eyed beautiful girl?
19:53Because I'm the youngest in the house.
19:57My mother and sisters say I'm useless and they hate me.
20:02And only give me scraps from the dinner table.
20:07Oh, don't be sad, pretty girl.
20:10Look, I have a present for you.
20:13This is a magic wand.
20:15If you make a wish and wave the magic wand three times, it will come true.
20:22When the two-eyed girl made a wish, a dinner table appeared.
20:28A dinner table appeared.
20:30The table was filled with delicious food.
20:35Ah, look at these dishes, all warm and fresh.
20:41Two eyes had been hungry for days,
20:45so she started to eat from the food on the table.
20:49When you're done eating, you only need to wave the wand twice,
20:53beautiful two-eyed girl.
20:55Remember, only twice.
20:58The fairy disappeared without showing her face.
21:03The two-eyed girl, after having a good meal, waved the wand twice.
21:10And the table vanished.
21:15Oh, I'm finally full. I'm so happy.
21:19But I have to hide this wand from my sisters and my mother,
21:23or they will destroy me for it.
21:25The two-eyed girl returned home using the wand as a walking stick.
21:32She noticed the leftover food on the table,
21:35but she didn't eat it because she was full.
21:40Two eyes took her walking stick and went out again every day.
21:46She went to the water's edge, waved her wand,
21:50and ate as much as she wanted.
21:56But one day, when she returned home,
21:59her older sisters, One-Eye and Three-Eyes,
22:02noticed a change in their younger sister, Two-Eyes.
22:07Why does Two-Eyes smile every time she goes out and returns?
22:13And she doesn't eat the scraps we leave her.
22:16The next day, the jealous sisters followed her when Two-Eyes went out.
22:24After a while, Two-Eyes came to the water's edge.
22:30She made a wish, and waved the wand three times.
22:39And a table full of delicious food appeared.
22:43Seeing this, the sisters were astonished.
22:47Ah, so she fills her stomach with delicious food every day,
22:52and she doesn't share it with us either.
22:55One-Eye and Three-Eyes ran home and told their mother what they saw.
23:02The mother could not believe what she heard,
23:05and she was very angry.
23:10Everyone hid before Two-Eyes returned home.
23:13As soon as the girl entered the house,
23:16her mother came up to her,
23:19and took the wand in her hand,
23:22and broke it in half.
23:26No! Why did you do that?
23:30You were feasting on delicious food,
23:34while we sat at home starving.
23:36No more food for you in this house.
23:39Two-Eyes was so upset,
23:41that she took the broken wand,
23:43and went outside crying.
23:46At that moment, the mysterious good fairy appeared before her again.
23:52Don't cry, Two-Eyed beautiful girl.
23:55Take the pieces of the stick,
23:57and bury them under the moonlight.
23:59You will smile again.
24:02The mysterious fairy disappeared,
24:05before the Two-Eyes could see her face.
24:09Two-Eyes went and did what the fairy said.
24:16The next day,
24:18a tree with silver leaves and golden fruit,
24:21grew where she had buried the pieces of the stick.
24:25It was so majestic and bright,
24:28that everyone could see it.
24:30Two-Eyes' mother and sisters,
24:32wanted to go to the tree,
24:34and collect some fruit from it.
24:38But whenever the sisters reached out for the fruit,
24:41the tree branches were lifted up.
24:44Seeing this,
24:46Two-Eyes came to them immediately.
24:50Maybe I can pick a fruit from this beautiful tree.
24:54Huh, we couldn't even get it.
24:56How will you succeed?
24:58Two-Eyes stretched out her arms,
25:01towards the tree.
25:03Give me some fruit,
25:05and some joy tree of glitter.
25:07After the kind words,
25:09the tree bent its branches,
25:11in front of the Two-Eyes,
25:13so that she could easily take the fruit.
25:16Two-Eyes wanted to give some of the fruit,
25:19to her mother and sisters.
25:21But they were crazy with jealousy.
25:25Oh well, I can do that.
25:28Watch.
25:29Give me some fruit,
25:30and some joy tree of glitter.
25:32Give me some fruit,
25:34and some joy tree of glitter.
25:37But the tree did not respond,
25:40to what one eye,
25:42and three eyes had said.
25:45How is it that this tree,
25:47only obeys Two-Eyes' orders?
25:50At that moment,
25:52a handsome knight approached,
25:54galloping on his horse.
25:56Get out of here Two-Eyes.
25:58Hide behind the bushes.
25:59Do not embarrass us with your selfishness.
26:02Poor Two-Eyes obeyed,
26:04and hid behind the bushes,
26:06with the fruit in her arms.
26:10When the knight came near the silver-leaved,
26:12and golden-fruited tree,
26:14he stared in amazement.
26:18Wow!
26:19If the owner of this magnificent tree,
26:21would give me a silver branch,
26:23I would make her the happiest person in the world.
26:26We are the owners of this tree, sir.
26:28I can give you a silver branch.
26:31One eye,
26:32and three eyes,
26:33jumped and jumped,
26:35to pluck a branch from the tree.
26:37But,
26:38in vain.
26:40They couldn't even touch a leaf.
26:43You said this tree belongs to you?
26:45Then why can't you,
26:47pluck even a single fruit from it?
26:49Two-Eyes wanted to come out,
26:51and share her fruits with the knight.
26:53But she was afraid of her mother,
26:55and sisters.
26:56So she stayed put,
26:57and started to cry.
27:01And then,
27:02the mysterious fairy appeared again.
27:05Beautiful Two-Eyed girl,
27:07take the leaf of the tree,
27:09and put it in your heart.
27:11Then,
27:12face the knight,
27:13without any fear.
27:16The Two-Eyed girl,
27:17did as the fairy told her.
27:19And her worn-out outfit,
27:21turned into a bright,
27:23sparkling dress.
27:25She immediately came out of the bush,
27:27where she was hiding,
27:28and faced the knight,
27:30with the fruit in her arms.
27:33The knight,
27:34was fascinated by the beauty of Two-Eyes,
27:37and he couldn't take his eyes off her.
27:42I can give you a silver branch,
27:43with golden fruits, sir.
27:47I want to make you,
27:48the happiest woman in the world,
27:50Beautiful-Eyed girl.
27:51Will you marry me?
27:53Two-Eyes,
27:54immediately accepted,
27:55the knight's marriage proposal,
27:57and they embraced each other.
27:59Seeing this,
28:00the jealous sisters and mother,
28:03apologized to Two-Eyes.
28:06We thought you were incompetent,
28:08because you were younger than us.
28:11But you are pure-minded,
28:13and kind-hearted.
28:15Sorry sister.
28:16Two-Eyes,
28:17forgave her sisters,
28:19and mother.
28:21The silver tree is now yours.
28:23You can get as many fruit,
28:25as you want from it.
28:29After these beautiful words of Two-Eyes,
28:31the mysterious fairy appeared,
28:33on the top of the silver leaf tree,
28:36and showed her face,
28:38for the first time.
28:42Two-Eyes,
28:43was very surprised to see,
28:45that the fairy,
28:46had three eyes.
28:50And realized,
28:51that people only need a good heart,
28:54to do good.
28:56No matter how different they look.
29:01Then,
29:02Two-Eyes,
29:03and the knight,
29:04got on a horse,
29:05and rode off,
29:06to eternal happiness.
29:19Once upon a time,
29:21in a land,
29:22far, far away,
29:24there was a very cute girl,
29:26named,
29:27Karen.
29:28She lived in a tiny house,
29:30with her mother,
29:31and was a very happy girl.
29:34She would ask her mother about,
29:36everything she was curious about.
29:38Mom,
29:39what are these tiny lights in the sky?
29:42They are stars, Karen.
29:44Everyone who lives on earth,
29:46eventually turns into a star,
29:48and shines in the sky forever.
29:51Karen only had one toy,
29:54one dress,
29:55and a pair of wooden slippers,
29:57she wore on the street.
29:59The wooden slippers,
30:00her mother made for her,
30:01were not very comfortable,
30:03but,
30:04they were the only ones she had.
30:08One day,
30:09Karen's mother got very sick.
30:13So Karen went to town,
30:14to buy medicine for her mother,
30:16and along the way,
30:17she found a pair of red shoes,
30:19in a box,
30:20on the roadside.
30:23The shoes shone so beautifully,
30:26that Karen couldn't help,
30:28but bring them home with her.
30:31Look mommy,
30:32I found these by the roadside.
30:34Aren't they beautiful?
30:36Just right for me.
30:39These,
30:40may belong to someone else, Karen.
30:42You should immediately take them back.
30:44But if they had an owner,
30:45she wouldn't have left them there with the box.
30:48Maybe the owner dropped it,
30:50accidentally.
30:51Then they shouldn't have dropped it.
30:53I found them.
30:54They belong to me now.
30:55They're mine.
30:56Baby,
30:57listen to me carefully.
30:59I may not be able to buy you new shoes right now,
31:02but I don't want you to wear someone else's shoes,
31:05just because of that.
31:07Please,
31:08don't be stubborn.
31:09Promise you won't wear these red shoes.
31:13Karen sadly promised her mother,
31:15not to wear red shoes,
31:17and hid them,
31:19under her bed.
31:22Months passed by,
31:24until one day,
31:25Karen came home,
31:27and couldn't find her mother in the house.
31:29She looked all over,
31:31until she realized,
31:33that her mother,
31:34had become a bright star.
31:38The next day,
31:39on her way to her mother's funeral,
31:41Karen put on,
31:43those red shoes.
31:44Those who came to the funeral,
31:46couldn't take their eyes off Karen's shoes.
31:50How dare she wear red shoes,
31:52disrespectful!
31:54But Karen,
31:55did not care,
31:57because she loved her shoes.
32:02A good-hearted old woman,
32:04passed by the cemetery.
32:06This old woman learned,
32:08that this little girl,
32:09was now an orphan,
32:11and wanted to adopt her.
32:14Come with me,
32:15pretty girl.
32:17I will do my best,
32:19to make you successful,
32:21and beautiful,
32:22when you grow up.
32:25So Karen went,
32:26to live with the old woman,
32:28for many years.
32:31Karen,
32:32you've been wearing these shoes,
32:34since your mother's funeral.
32:36You need to take them off now.
32:38They're so dirty.
32:41No!
32:42I love my red shoes.
32:45Oh Karen,
32:46don't be so stubborn.
32:49Come on,
32:50change your shoes.
32:51I'll buy better shoes,
32:53I promise.
32:55Karen did not want,
32:56to offend the old woman,
32:58who had been so kind,
32:59to adopt her.
33:00So,
33:01she finally took off,
33:02her red shoes,
33:03and threw them away.
33:07Days passed,
33:08until one day,
33:10Karen was playing,
33:11in her new room,
33:12with her new clothes,
33:14and toys,
33:15and the old woman,
33:16brought her a new pair of shoes.
33:20But Karen didn't like,
33:21these shoes at all.
33:23But these are blue,
33:25very ugly.
33:26I don't like them at all.
33:29So for years to come,
33:30Karen missed her red shoes,
33:32a lot.
33:34She grew into a beautiful,
33:35young lady.
33:37But her stubborn attitude,
33:38never changed.
33:41Even,
33:42when the old lady,
33:43brought her gifts.
33:45I don't want to wear this thing,
33:48but,
33:49I knit this for you.
33:52I'll never eat this food.
33:54Make me french fries.
33:56At least,
33:57take a little bite darling.
33:59The old woman,
34:00was very upset,
34:02when Karen got up from the table,
34:04without having a meal.
34:05She made french fries for her,
34:07and took them to her room.
34:10At that time,
34:11Karen was taking off,
34:12her blue shoes.
34:14Look,
34:15see,
34:16all my things are so small now.
34:18I've grown up.
34:20Well,
34:21come on then.
34:23Let's buy you new clothes,
34:24and shoes.
34:27Then,
34:28the old woman and Karen,
34:29went to the store.
34:32Oh,
34:33look,
34:34just like my favorite red shoes.
34:36I must have them.
34:37Let's get these.
34:39Karen,
34:40you don't need,
34:42fancy red shoes.
34:44You need shoes,
34:45that you can wear respectfully.
34:48Like,
34:49if we need to go to a funeral.
34:51I can only buy you,
34:52one pair of shoes.
34:54Let's buy those black ones,
34:56and go home.
34:58I am very tired.
35:00I don't care.
35:01If you don't buy both shoes,
35:02I'll walk barefoot,
35:03everywhere from now on.
35:06Little girl,
35:07I wish you weren't so stubborn.
35:11The old woman,
35:12bought the black shoes for Karen,
35:14and spent the last of her money,
35:16to appease her,
35:17with the red sparkly shoes too.
35:20They had to walk home,
35:21on foot.
35:23The old woman's feet,
35:24hurt a lot along the way,
35:26and she could not keep up,
35:27with the spoiled Karen.
35:29And Karen,
35:30didn't care.
35:31She walked on home,
35:32with her new red shoes.
35:37One day,
35:38the old woman told Karen,
35:40that they needed to attend,
35:41a funeral in town.
35:44Karen,
35:45be sure to put on,
35:46your black shoes.
35:48Otherwise,
35:49it will be disrespectful,
35:50at the funeral.
35:52Karen looked at the black shoes,
35:54in her room.
35:55And then,
35:56at the bright red one,
35:58she chose,
35:59to put on the red shoes.
36:01When they left the house,
36:02she covered them up,
36:03with her skirt.
36:05So the old woman,
36:06would not see the shoes.
36:09However,
36:10at the funeral,
36:11everyone,
36:12saw Karen's shoes,
36:14shining brightly,
36:15under her skirt.
36:18They spoke amongst themselves,
36:20about Karen's red shoes,
36:22at the funeral,
36:23and about how disrespectful,
36:25it was.
36:26And about how disrespectful,
36:27the shoes were.
36:29When what was said,
36:30came to the old woman's ear,
36:32she got very angry.
36:36You didn't listen,
36:37to what I told you,
36:39and you put on,
36:40the red shoes again.
36:42You're so stubborn, Karen.
36:45Show some respect.
36:48A handsome young lord,
36:50passing by at that time,
36:52was struck by Karen's beauty.
36:56He came to her,
36:57and went down on his knees,
36:59and gave her compliments.
37:02How beautiful you are,
37:04and so delicate,
37:05in these beautiful shoes.
37:07Ah, my lord,
37:09you make me blush.
37:11You must be,
37:12a very good dancer.
37:13I invite you,
37:14to the dance night,
37:15in the palace tonight.
37:16Please come.
37:18With the happiness,
37:19of the lord's offer,
37:20Karen started dancing,
37:22with joy.
37:23But after a while,
37:25Karen couldn't stop dancing.
37:28Ah, ah,
37:30why can't I stop my feet?
37:32What is happening?
37:34Oh, oh.
37:36Karen started walking away,
37:37from the old lady,
37:39and the lord,
37:40while she was dancing.
37:42Karen, come back.
37:45Even though the lord,
37:46chased Karen for a while,
37:48he lost her.
37:51Karen's red shoes,
37:52turned out to be more stubborn,
37:54than Karen.
37:56They took her,
37:57until top of the mountain,
37:59and made her dance,
38:00day and night,
38:01for three days.
38:03Karen's feet,
38:04hurt so much,
38:06that she screamed,
38:07at every step.
38:09Ah, ah, oh.
38:13Even though they got,
38:14into the mud,
38:15and prickly needles stuck,
38:16the shoes kept dancing.
38:20Enough,
38:21I'm very tired.
38:23I won't be so stubborn,
38:25from now on.
38:26I promise.
38:27Please stop.
38:29Shoes,
38:30please stop.
38:32Stop.
38:33And when Karen said,
38:34she'd give up,
38:35all her stubbornness,
38:37the red shoes,
38:38jumped off her feet,
38:40and Karen too,
38:41fell to the ground.
38:43And the red shoes,
38:44kept on dancing,
38:46without her.
38:49Karen found a stick,
38:50and managed to limp home,
38:52in pain.
38:53Her legs hurt,
38:55a lot.
38:59She started to cry,
39:00with happiness,
39:01when she saw her house.
39:03The old woman,
39:04greeted her at the door.
39:06They hugged each other.
39:09I know I was,
39:10very stubborn girl,
39:11but I promise,
39:12I won't be like that anymore.
39:15After Karen,
39:16gave up her stubbornness,
39:18things started to get better.
39:23One day,
39:24someone knocked on the door.
39:27It was the young,
39:28and handsome Lord.
39:31There you are Karen.
39:33I tried to keep up,
39:34but you dance so fast.
39:36How did you do that?
39:38Karen was glad,
39:40to see the handsome,
39:41and young Lord.
39:42That was the day,
39:44the Lord and Karen's love,
39:46began,
39:47leaving stubbornness behind.
39:49Karen,
39:50lived a happy,
39:51and peaceful life.
39:59Once upon a time,
40:01in a land,
40:02far, far away.
40:04There lived,
40:05two best friends.
40:08Their names were,
40:09Kay and Gerda.
40:13During the cold winter nights,
40:15Kay and Gerda's biggest fun,
40:17was the fairy tale time,
40:19with Gerda's grandmother.
40:24Where does the snow,
40:25and the cold come from?
40:27Asked Gerda.
40:29From far away.
40:31Her grandmother answered,
40:33and started to tell her story.
40:36There was a kingdom,
40:38covered with ice and snow.
40:41The snow queen lived alone,
40:44in the ice castle,
40:46made purely,
40:47by her own magic.
40:49The snow queen,
40:51was very beautiful,
40:53and pure as ice.
40:55But the snow queen,
40:57was evil hearted,
40:59and a lot of miracles,
41:00were hidden,
41:01in the magical,
41:02and cold ice castle.
41:05The icy mirror,
41:06was one of them.
41:08It was through the icy mirror,
41:10that the snow queen's evil eyes,
41:12watched everything,
41:13that happened in the world.
41:17Right at that moment,
41:19Gerda saw the snow queen,
41:21watching them behind the window.
41:24Kay, grandmother,
41:25look, it is the snow queen,
41:26watching us through the window.
41:28I'm sure it is just a cat,
41:29frozen from the cold.
41:30Grandmother,
41:31can the snow queen really come here?
41:33Let her try.
41:34I would throw her in the chimney so fast,
41:36she would melt,
41:37and turn into the water queen.
41:42Watching through the ice mirror,
41:44watching through the ice mirror,
41:46the snow queen heard,
41:47what Kay said.
41:50So you will throw me into the chimney,
41:52and turn me into the water queen?
41:56Ha!
41:58Ice sparkles,
41:59fly with my powers,
42:01find this boy,
42:02make his eyes and heart mine,
42:05let his sight,
42:07be evil for everything around him,
42:10and let the love in his heart,
42:11be gone forever.
42:15Ordered the snow queen,
42:16to her ice sparkles.
42:20Suddenly,
42:21a snow storm started to blow,
42:23in front of Gerda's house.
42:25The ice sparkles,
42:26were moving fast towards Gerda.
42:29Curious about what was going on,
42:31Kay opened the window.
42:33Gerda screamed right away.
42:35Kay, stop!
42:38But it was too late.
42:39Ah, my eye!
42:40Something stung my eye!
42:42Ah, my heart!
42:43What is going on?
42:48And at that moment,
42:49the snow queen's curse was carried out,
42:51by the ice sparkles.
42:53His eyes and heart were struck,
42:55and Kay had transformed,
42:57into another person.
42:59Gerda asked him,
43:00what had happened,
43:01but Kay yelled at her.
43:03Nothing!
43:04I'm fine!
43:05Leave me alone!
43:06This was weird.
43:07Kay was never rude to Gerda like this.
43:09She just couldn't understand,
43:11why all of a sudden,
43:12he started to behave this way.
43:14Kay's rude behavior,
43:16continued to the next morning.
43:20When Kay was taking his sleigh,
43:22out of the garden,
43:23Gerda asked him,
43:24where he was going.
43:26He snapped at her again.
43:28He jumped on his sleigh,
43:29and moved away.
43:30Gerda ran after him,
43:32but could not reach him.
43:35Suddenly,
43:36on her sleigh,
43:37the snow queen appeared from nowhere,
43:39and Kay started to follow her.
43:45Gerda was stunned,
43:46and couldn't do anything,
43:47as they both disappeared from sight.
43:49The snow queen was taking him,
43:51to her ice castle.
43:57Gerda spent days in front of her window,
43:59waiting for Kay to come back.
44:02Days and months passed,
44:04and the winter was over.
44:06But still,
44:07there was no sign of Kay,
44:09couldn't stand waiting anymore.
44:11Gerda made up her mind,
44:13taking only the mirror,
44:15her grandmother gave her.
44:18She head out,
44:19to start looking for her dearest friend,
44:21Kay.
44:26Brave Gerda,
44:27passed many roads,
44:28and asked everyone she met,
44:30on her way,
44:31if they had seen Kay.
44:33Finally,
44:34she reached the shore of a river.
44:37She looked around,
44:38and there was no one to be seen,
44:41that she could ask about Kay.
44:44She asked the river,
44:45but could not get a reply.
44:48At that moment,
44:49a seagull came next to her.
44:53The river would definitely have an answer for you.
44:55But first,
44:56you have to give her a gift.
45:02Gerda took out her dearly beloved necklace,
45:05and placed it on the water of the river.
45:08Suddenly, a miracle happened,
45:10and from nowhere,
45:11a small boat appeared,
45:13right in front of her.
45:15Gerda thought,
45:16that the river liked her gift,
45:18and was returning the favor.
45:21As soon as she hopped on,
45:23the boat started to move on its own.
45:28At that moment,
45:29a crow started to fly over her head.
45:32It was as if he was trying to tell her something.
45:35So Gerda started to follow him.
45:38She followed the crow for a while,
45:40until they reached the icy seas.
45:43Right in the middle of the ice,
45:45there was a pirate ship from some time ago,
45:47where the crow flew and landed.
45:49Gerda followed him on her boat,
45:51and made her way to the ship.
45:55So,
45:56is this how I get to the queen's castle?
45:58With this pirate ship?
46:00Pirates appeared on the deck,
46:02and one of them,
46:03a pirate girl,
46:04approached Gerda.
46:08You go wherever we go,
46:10and that is...
46:12nowhere!
46:13Ha! Ha! Ha!
46:16Right at that moment,
46:17the Snow Queen was trying to make Kay forget about everything in his past.
46:22She succeeded,
46:23up to some point.
46:24But whatever she did,
46:26Gerda would not leave Kay's memory.
46:29Gerda!
46:31Oh, Gerda!
46:33Soon your heart will turn into ice,
46:35and you will not remember...
46:37a thing!
46:39Finding out about her friend Kay being held captive
46:42in Snow Queen's castle,
46:44the pirate girl told Gerda to better forget about him,
46:48because there was no way to get him out of there.
46:52I won't forget!
46:53He's my best friend!
46:54I have to find him, replied Gerda.
46:57The pirate girl could not really understand Gerda's persistence.
47:01Actually,
47:02she wanted her to stay there and become her friend.
47:05But Gerda was determined to find Kay.
47:10I'll do whatever it takes to rescue him!
47:13Because she had no friends,
47:14the pirate girl really admired Gerda's attitude,
47:18and decided to help her.
47:21The next day,
47:22at sunrise,
47:23the pirate girl brought Gerda a reindeer.
47:27This was the fastest reindeer in the whole Snow Kingdom,
47:31and she was going to show Gerda the way.
47:38Promise me that you will get that icy witch!
47:41You will also save our ship!
47:43I promise I'll return your favor,
47:47answered Gerda.
47:50Riding the reindeer, Gerda was on her way.
47:54First, she had to find out how she could defeat the Snow Queen.
47:58The reindeer was going to show her how.
48:01After a long journey,
48:03they had reached the North Pole.
48:06An old wise man welcomed them.
48:09So, you finally brought the mirror, huh?
48:13Gerda could not understand how the wise man knew about her mirror.
48:17But nevertheless, she knew she came to the right place.
48:20So she took out her mirror and showed it to the man.
48:26So I'm going to finish the Snow Queen with this?
48:29This is a magic mirror.
48:31It shows the truth, nothing but the truth,
48:35even if it is hidden deep inside.
48:41Because nothing was stronger than true love,
48:44Because nothing was stronger than true love,
48:47the real strength in all of us was love.
48:51Gerda found out who the Snow Queen was thanks to the wise man.
48:56If she could reveal the truth, she could beat her.
49:00Because actually, in the past,
49:03the Snow Queen was a good girl, full of love.
49:07Wherever she touched, flowers blossomed
49:10and her smiling eyes shined brighter than the sun.
49:14She was a unique and happy girl named Lila.
49:18But everyone thought she was a little witch
49:21and did not play with or even talk to her.
49:24Left all alone, Lila wasn't a happy girl anymore.
49:29She started to hate everything and everyone around her.
49:33Until one day, she made a wish.
49:38Everyone mean to me shall turn to ice.
49:43And then she built a castle made out of snow
49:47and lived in it, far away from anyone,
49:50all alone and without love or joy.
49:53Gerda arrived at the Snow Queen's castle and entered inside.
49:57She saw Kay in one of the corners, making an ice sculpture.
50:02You're here! I found you!
50:05Kay! It's me, Gerda! Don't you remember me?
50:09Kay looked at Gerda, but he did not recognise her.
50:14Ha!
50:16His heart, like everything else here, has turned into ice.
50:21Gerda did not pay any attention to what the Snow Queen was saying.
50:25Let him go. He belongs to me now.
50:29I will turn you into ice as well.
50:32No, you won't make it.
50:34Kay, I love you.
50:37Kay slowly started to remember.
50:41Gerda, yes, I remember now.
50:48Furious, the Snow Queen shook her wand as fast as light
50:53and out came the curse of ice.
50:55Right at that moment, Gerda took out her mirror and held it against the curse.
50:59Hitting the mirror, the curse disappeared.
51:04And the moment had come.
51:06The Snow Queen looked at Gerda's mirror,
51:08only to see that it wasn't her reflection she saw on the mirror.
51:12It was the face of a little girl, the face of Lila.
51:19Suddenly, the Snow Queen returned to her little and loving self
51:23and became Lila again.
51:26Thank you very much.
51:28Now I know who I really am. I'm free again.
51:32Goodbye.
51:34Kay and Gerda looked at each other and smiled.
51:38From now on, they would never part and they would grow together.
51:44Just like the roses they had planted in their front yards.
