00:00Oh
00:33In the magnificent winter palace of his majesty Tsar Nikolai,
00:38emperor of all the Russias, a grand ceremony was about to begin.
00:43There was a ceremony in the palace every day of the year
00:46because the Tsar Nikolai, mightiest of the mighty,
00:50most feared among the feared, enjoyed ceremonies.
00:57He enjoyed the glittering robes and the sound of trumpets.
01:01He loved to see his subjects bowing on the ground before him.
01:06But what he liked most of all was to be given rich and extravagant presents.
01:12And he knew that today's present would be very extravagant indeed.
01:18For today, a royal prince from a far-off kingdom
01:21had come to ask if he could marry the Tsar's daughter, the Princess Alexea.
01:30We present to the person of your imperial majesty
01:34the captain of the Anatolian Royal Guard.
01:42The commander of the Anatolian Royal Household.
01:55The crown prince of Anatolia.
02:02Leader of the Anatolian Royal Circus.
02:06The prince has a magnificent present for your majesty.
02:12Let him approach the throne.
02:32Begin the ceremony.
02:36Oh, mighty Tsar, emperor of all the Russians,
02:39whose dominion extends from...
02:40Yes, very good.
02:41Move to the matter of importance.
02:44The princess?
02:45The present.
02:47Oh, the present, yes.
02:52Chamberlain.
02:53Your majesty,
02:55his royal highness asks me to say
02:57that if you will give him the hand of Princess Alexea in marriage,
03:01the renowned craftsman of Anatolia
03:03will build for you the finest, fastest ship in all the world.
03:08A golden ship.
03:11A ship like this one?
03:14Hmm.
03:15A present worthy of a princess, your majesty.
03:19Yes.
03:21Alexea, come and see the...
03:22Alexea!
03:24Yes, father?
03:25Come now.
03:27What do you say?
03:28It's very beautiful.
03:30What can it do?
03:31Do?
03:32Why, it will sail swiftly across our lakes and seas.
03:37Shouldn't the Tsar's ship do something more?
03:41More?
03:42Yes.
03:44What else can it do?
03:46Um, it, um, can do nothing else, your majesty.
03:51Ha!
03:51Your majesty.
03:52Let the crown prince know
03:54only what you would have the ship perform
03:56and it shall be done.
03:58Very well.
04:00I shall give the hand of the Princess Alexea in marriage
04:03only for a ship that will...
04:06that will...
04:08a ship that will...
04:10Fly.
04:11Fly?
04:12A ship.
04:13Fly.
04:15Fly?
04:16Like a bird.
04:18Fly.
04:18Yes, that's good.
04:20Fly.
04:20Fly.
04:21A ship to fly in like a bird.
04:24Ha!
04:24Let the command be sent forth.
04:26The Tsar will marry his daughter Alexea
04:28to the man who will bring him a ship that will fly.
04:32But your majesty...
04:34Uh, but...
04:35but your majesty...
04:36Silence!
04:37The mighty Tsar has spoken.
04:41The mighty Tsar had spoken.
04:44And his words went out into corners of his empire
04:47that he had never visited.
04:48And it was a land so distant
04:51that their very existence was unknown to him.
04:54But all who lived there knew well enough
04:57that they were the subjects of Tsar Nikolai
04:59and that their duty was to do his bidding.
05:15wherever the Tsar's command was heard
05:17there were men and women who saw their opportunity to serve him
05:21although there were others
05:22who saw only the opportunity
05:24for idleness and a life of riches.
05:34Sergei, look here!
05:36It's gold.
05:38Quick, pull them out before somebody comes.
05:44Here, give them to me.
05:47They must be worth 20 rubles.
05:50We'll keep them hidden.
05:52Don't tell anybody, eh?
05:54Mm-hmm.
06:00What is it?
06:05The Tsar demands a flying ship.
06:12This is it, Boris.
06:14This is what we've been waiting for.
06:18But, um, how can we make a ship fly?
06:22Oh, we won't make a ship fly.
06:25But we will get our hands on that money at last.
06:29Listen to me.
06:30This is what we're going to do.
06:55Thank you, Bird.
06:57It's very kind of you to come and sing to me.
06:59I'm sorry, I've no crumbs for you.
07:01But my brothers have been to the village.
07:03Perhaps they'll bring me a piece of bread for my lunch.
07:05And you can share it with me.
07:08Shh.
07:09Oh, I'm glad you've come at last.
07:11This old saw is hard work for one person.
07:16Did you have a nice time in the...
07:18village?
07:20Yes.
07:21Yes.
07:24Yes.
07:24Yes.
07:25Yes.
07:30So, you see, dear father and mother,
07:33although it will grieve us to leave you,
07:36this is our great chance.
07:38Our chance to make a fortune.
07:40And bring it back here to you
07:43as soon as we've built the flying ship for Tsar Nikolai.
07:55And, um, some food and drink for our journey.
07:58Yeah.
08:08To serve the Tsar Nikolai,
08:10as I once served in his majesty's army,
08:13is a noble and honourable thing.
08:17But, eh?
08:18Will you not take your brother, Peter?
08:20Oh, he's too much of a fool, father.
08:23He would disgrace us.
08:25Just now, in the forest,
08:27we saw him in conversation with a bird.
08:30And you'll need him here when we are gone.
08:33Yeah, maybe so.
08:36Well,
08:37you have our blessing.
08:50Your brothers are going on a great adventure, Peter.
08:54Hmm.
08:56There is all I have, my sons.
08:59Except for this.
09:00Your brother's share.
09:02Oh, they can have my share too, father.
09:07Here, you'll need it.
09:09And you'll soon be back with more, won't you?
09:12Oh, yes.
09:13We'll soon be back with more.
09:20I served the Tsar with this gun.
09:23Take it, my boys.
09:25And let it take care of you.
09:29They say the Tsar's commands are fixed with golden nails, you know.
09:33You should go and look where you found it.
09:36Golden nails, indeed.
09:39You're the fool of the world, you are.
09:42You see what you've done, Alexei, by your foolish demand?
09:46Now you will never be married.
09:48All because you wish for this impossible ship as a wedding gift.
09:53Father, I don't want any ship.
09:55What?
09:56I was trying to make it difficult, don't you see?
09:59I don't want to be married to someone just because he brings you the best present.
10:03It is the custom.
10:05But at least let me meet somebody and love him first.
10:10Please.
10:10No, Alexei, my command has been given.
10:14You may marry only the man who brings me a flying ship.
10:19Even if I can't love him, even if he's the crown prince of Anatolia.
10:27Even so, a man with such a gift will be a worthy bridegroom.
10:33But I fear there is no such man in all the rushers.
10:44If only your brothers would come back.
10:47Don't worry, mother.
10:48I expect they're in the Tsar's palace now in fine clothes with purses of gold to bring back to us.
10:53Do you think so?
10:55Oh, yes.
10:56They'll soon be here.
11:01But Boris and Sergei were not in the Tsar's palace.
11:04They had spent all their money on food and wine and were still only a few miles from home.
11:12If they could see us now, eh, Boris?
11:16Better than black bread and soup, eh?
11:19Yeah.
11:24What do you want, eh?
11:26Hey, get on away.
11:28Yeah.
11:29Masters, I'm hungry.
11:32Can you spare a little for me?
11:35Get your own food.
11:36This is ours.
11:37Go on out.
11:41Oh.
11:43Oh.
11:45Oh.
11:47Oh.
11:48Oh.
11:50Oh.
11:50Oh.
11:52Oh.
11:52Oh.
11:52Oh.
11:52Oh.
11:52Oh.
11:53Oh.
11:55Oh.
11:56No soup for me today.
11:58Thanks, Mother.
12:15Suppose they've been eaten by wolves.
12:18No, Father.
12:19They have your gun with them.
12:21Remember?
12:21Oh, yes.
12:23My good old gun will look after them.
12:26But Sergei and Boris had not looked after the gun.
12:29It had gone to pay for their gambling.
12:32And the golden nails had gone to buy rich food and fine wine.
12:37Soon, the brothers were left with nothing except their clothes.
12:41And before long, they would have to sell those, too.
12:46Don't worry.
12:47I'll find them.
12:47And I'll find us some food, too.
12:49You'll see.
12:52Now, you be careful not to lose your way.
12:55Come back to us safely, son.
12:58As soon as you can.
13:00We'll all come back together in the flying ship.
13:10The wind blew cold and fiercely as Pieter set off on his search.
13:36For two whole days and nights, he walked with little rest until he came to where the great forest was
13:44suddenly calm.
13:45And strangely quiet.
13:48Although Pieter did not know it, this was the way his brothers had passed.
13:53And there, in his path, lay the fallen feathers of the snowbird.
14:02Hmm.
14:11Hello, bird.
14:12How are you today?
14:14Oh, are these your feathers?
14:18I'm sorry, but I don't know how to give them back to you.
14:21I'll leave them here anyway.
14:24Good day, master.
14:26Good day, sir.
14:28Have you journeyed far?
14:28Oh, very far, master.
14:31Very far.
14:32Would you like some food?
14:34It's not much, I'm afraid, but you're welcome to share it.
14:39First, let me guess what's in your bag.
14:47Oh, not much.
14:50I can feel a good fat chicken in here, and two big round apples, and a loaf of bread, and
14:58a flask of beer.
15:00I wish you could, but all I've got is a...
15:15Oh, my parents are so good to me.
15:19They must have put them in as a surprise.
15:21But I wonder where they got them from.
15:24Yes, I wonder.
15:30There's something else in your bag?
15:32Hmm.
15:33It's about the flying ship.
15:34Hmm?
15:35My brothers went in search of it, and now I'm looking for them.
15:38Oh, they came this way.
15:40You may have seen them.
15:41Fine, handsome fellows.
15:42I expect they shared their food with you, too.
15:44Hmm.
15:45Hmm.
15:45I've seen no one of that description.
15:51What I'd really like is to find a flying ship myself.
15:55And marry the princess, and be rich?
15:58Oh, I don't mind about that.
16:00But it would help me look for my brothers, and then we could all get back home to mother and
16:04father.
16:05They'd been very worried.
16:07Well, when you find your flying ship, you know, you must remember one thing always.
16:13No.
16:14What's that?
16:14The captain of a flying ship must never, ever refuse to let someone ride in it, if they ask him.
16:24No matter who they may be.
16:26I'll remember that, sir.
16:33Do you think I really might find a flying ship, then?
16:37Oh, yes.
16:40Yes, I think you really might.
17:10Yes, I think you really might.
17:19I'm sorry.
17:20Yes.
17:42No matter who I am.
17:53Oh, my God.
18:18Oh, my God.
18:52Oh, my God.
19:13Oh, my God.
19:37Never, ever refuse to let someone ride in it, no matter who they may be.
20:09Oh, my God.
20:12Oh, my God.
20:14Oh, my God.
20:14Oh, my God.
20:47Oh, my God.
21:00Oh, my God.
21:05Oh, my God.
21:43And then...
21:45Oh, my God.
21:51Oh, my God.
21:57Oh, my God.
22:12Oh, my God.
22:13Oh, my God.
22:41Oh, my God.
22:47Oh, my God.
23:52Oh, my God.
24:00Oh, my God.
24:11Oh, my God.
24:40Oh, my God.
24:57Oh, my God.
25:02Oh, my God.
25:28Oh, my God.
25:42Oh, my God.
25:45Oh, my God.
26:05Oh, my God.
26:08Oh, my God.
26:15Oh, my God.
26:24Oh, my God.
26:27Oh, my God.
26:28Oh, my God.
26:35Oh, my God.
26:47It's landed in the courtyard.
26:49It has been observed, Your Royal Highness.
26:52His Majesty has commanded me to welcome our distinguished visitors.
26:57I couldn't really see the people in it.
27:00You will see them soon enough, my dear Alexei.
27:03We shall have a great banquet in their honor.
27:09It's the mighty Tsar himself.
27:11It's the mighty Tsar himself.
27:12Oh, it's Tsar Nikolai.
27:17You may rise.
27:20Where is your master?
27:22It's Pieter what's in charge here, Your Majesty.
27:26I have the honor to be the humble chamberlain to His Majesty, Tsar Nikolai.
27:32He wishes to give audience to your master.
27:36Pieter?
27:40You are master here.
27:47What are you?
27:49A woodcutter, my lord.
27:50And you?
27:51Oh, a poor farmer, my lord.
27:53Come to bring me straw to the Tsar.
27:56He has no need of straw.
27:58You.
27:59Marksman, my lord.
28:00Come with my bow to serve the Tsar.
28:02He has bowmen enough.
28:04You.
28:05I am but a forester, my lord.
28:07But I have saplings here that will grow so fast.
28:11His Majesty will marvel at it.
28:13And my wife...
28:15Silence.
28:16Where did you steal this ship?
28:18My lord, it's our ship.
28:19Or at least...
28:21Well, why have you not brought these royal personages before us?
28:26Your Majesty, I have to inform you with regret that the ship is full of peasants.
28:34Peasants?
28:35Peasants.
28:36With straw and sticks and all manner of ugly things.
28:40Oh, bring them in, Father.
28:42Please.
28:44They might be princes in disguise.
28:47May I speak privately to you, Your Majesty?
28:53As you see, Your Majesty, it is a fine vessel.
28:59Mmm.
29:00Give them gold for it and send them on their way.
29:03But since they have stolen it...
29:06Yes?
29:07And since they say they have come to serve Your Majesty...
29:11Will?
29:12You could set them a task.
29:14What task?
29:15A task so difficult, they could not perform it.
29:20Go on.
29:21And then, as is the custom, they would be banished.
29:25Or beheaded.
29:27And the ship would be forfeit to me.
29:30Precisely, Your Majesty.
29:32An excellent idea.
29:33I shall leave you to think of the task.
29:36You will make it very hard.
29:39Hmm?
29:42Excessively, Your Majesty.
29:50Lord Chamberlain?
29:51What were you talking about with my father?
29:54Nothing important, Your Highness.
29:57We were simply discussing arrangements...
29:59for the banquet.
30:04Task?
30:05What task?
30:06He says that a great banquet is going to be spread out for us here in the courtyard.
30:10Told you, sir.
30:11Good, good.
30:11Spend it.
30:12Only, if we don't eat up every scrap and leave every plate clean,
30:16the task won't be complete and we'll all be banished.
30:25I'm not feeling very hungry.
30:28I wish I hadn't eaten that cake.
30:30I don't think it matters whether we're hungry or not.
30:33We'll never finish all that.
30:58Oh, good Lord, we thank thee for what thou hast spread before us.
31:03However little these poor morsel's be.
31:06Huh?
31:14Oh, lovely.
31:16You are hungry.
31:19Hmm?
31:22Mm?
31:23Mm-hmm.
31:25Mm.
31:27Oh!
31:29Mm-hm!
31:32Mm-hm.
31:34Mm-hm.
31:35Mm-hm!
31:36Mm-hm!
31:36Mm-hm!
31:37Mm.
31:37Mm-hm!
31:39mucha lot!
31:43Yeah!
31:44Yeah!
31:44Mm-hm!
31:55Oh, my God.
32:25Oh, my God.
32:47Oh, my God.
33:15Oh, my God.
33:32Oh, my God.
33:46Oh, my God.
34:02They say this boy who leads them is a fool.
34:06See, he doesn't make a fool of you, Lord Chamberlain.
34:09Oh, my God.
34:40Oh, my God.
34:42Well, I must say, a bath will be most welcome.
34:45Ah, that does make you a bit dusty, is that, flyer?
34:50Why must we wait until tonight?
34:52They have to stoke up the fires first to make the water hot so hot that we can't bear it.
35:00What?
35:01I can hear him, I can hear him, he's ordering the furnace men to stoke up the fires.
35:08Oh, he's saying that we're all be trapped inside and boiled alive.
35:17Like lobsters.
35:23You understand what you have to do, the furnace men were not happy at the orders the chamberlain had given.
35:30They knew that Peter and his friends had done nothing to do, but they were too frightened to disobey, and
35:37soon the flames were leaping and crackling under the darkening sky.
35:42Oh, my God.
35:43The chamberlain looked down grimly from his window.
35:47Now we'll see who are the fools.
35:51But neither he nor the guards had noticed that in the proud little party under escort, there were only six
35:58people, when there should have been seven.
36:35The ice-cold straw almost put out the fire completely, and the furnace men had to hurry for more logs.
37:07Oh, my God.
37:36By the time the old farmer had used his last piece of precious straw, the furnacemen were too exhausted to
37:43continue.
37:44But Peter and his friends were still enjoying a warm and luxurious bath.
37:56So we'll all enjoy a scrub in his private royal tub.
38:02For the chamberlain has made it plain.
38:05We can't go as we are to the presence of his majesty's arm.
38:12I say, it's getting rather cold in here.
38:16Could you chaps open the doors?
38:18Eh?
38:22You were going to sell that straw to the Tsar, weren't you?
38:25I'm sorry.
38:26Oh, flinty more of where that come from, don't you fret.
38:29Ha, wish I could have seen that little chamberlain's face.
38:33Well, friends, thanks to our farmer here, we've shown ourselves as good as any of the Tsar's men.
38:39Splendid.
38:40Yes, quite right.
38:42And now, if he's truly the mighty Tsar, he's nothing to fear from us, and he'll welcome us into his
38:49service.
38:50But whatever happens, we'll stand firm together.
38:53Hear, hear.
39:01Oh, hello, miss.
39:04Hello.
39:05It's a beautiful ship.
39:08Could I come and see?
39:12Well, yes.
39:15Can you make it fly?
39:17I wish I could.
39:18It only seems to fly when it wants to.
39:20But it is your ship.
39:21Well, yes, it is.
39:23But, look, if you'd like to sit down, I'll tell you what happened.
39:54Oh, hum, hmm.
40:01To see.

45:29ha
45:31ha
45:34ha
45:38Oh, my God.
46:04Huh?
46:07Peter, don't walk. Run. Go on, run.
46:26Your Majesty, we have performed all the tasks you have set us.
46:31Yes. Now we ask you to take the ship, but let us go. I want to see my parents and
46:38my brothers. My friends who came here to serve you but were rejected also want to go back to their
46:44homes.
46:45As for the princess, I could not marry the daughter of so fierce and terrible a father. I would rather
46:51wish to marry someone simple and kind, like her serving maid.
46:57Serving maid? What serving maid?
47:00That girl there. We talked together.
47:02Serving maid, indeed. That is my daughter, the Princess Alexia. And you will never have her as your wife. How
47:10dare you speak so to the mighty Tsar? To the dungeons with him.
47:17No. No, no, no. Please.
47:25What have you done with Peter?
47:27You can forget about that, foolish boy.
47:30Now go on. Be off with you. And don't come back.
47:36Tell your master, the Tsar and I, that tomorrow we come at the head of an army mucher than his
47:43own to rescue our friend Peter. Let him look to his defenses.
47:51That was a brave thing to say, Forrester. But how can we raise an army?
47:57Friends, I told you about this bundle of saplings I brought for the Tsar. He had no need of them.
48:04But no tree will grow faster anywhere in the world. Tonight, let's plant them.
48:24The friends did as they were asked, and began to plant the saplings one by one into the soft snow.
48:32Hmm.
48:33Although they could not understand how trees would help them when they needed soldiers.
48:49They could not know how trees would build themselves.
48:52They could notちゃん to develop.
49:21Mmm.
49:48Oh, my God.
50:43Your Majesty, their leaders are at our gates.
50:48What are their demands?
50:49First demand, release Pieter.
50:51Second demand, marry a princess.
50:53Third demand...
50:56Third demand?
50:57Our third demand, Your Majesty,
51:00is that we all should remain here to serve you
51:04and Prince Pieter and Princess Alexia.
51:09With all the many powers we possess.
51:13What should I say?
51:17I should say yes.
51:23And so Pieter and Alexia were married.
51:27And Pieter was reunited with his parents.
51:30And even Boris and Sergei,
51:33who had come home and asked forgiveness,
51:35joined the grand ball that followed the wedding,
51:38and danced with the prettiest ladies of Tsar Nikolai's court.
51:43As for the Lord Chamberlain,
51:45he had to learn that the life of a woodcutter
51:49was a hard one.
51:57Pieter!
52:00Prince Pieter,
52:02what's going to happen to your flying ship now, eh?
52:05Your Highness.
52:06Oh, the ship. I'd quite forgotten about it.
52:10Well, it belongs to the Tsar now.
52:14I have my Alexea.
52:17He has his ship?
52:19Yes, of course. It's my ship now.
52:22I shall go for a ride in it immediately.
52:26I think you may be too late, Father.
52:29Too late?
52:32Farewell, young prince. Farewell.
52:36Farewell.
53:36Farewell, young prince.
