Dyuimovchka








Here a really nice example of 50's style Animation. It's lovely. I'd recommend watching the whole thing...This is a Russian fairytale called Duimovochka. I wish it was translated. Just been looking up what it's about...

It's about an old woman who couldn't have children. A fairy gave her a seed that she planted and the seed grew into a flower which opened and inside it was a beautiful little girl. She named her Duimovochka

She got taken away by a toad, which wanted her to marry their toad son... But a fish helped her escape. but then a spider wanted to take her to live with him but she ran away. All summer she lived alone...awww. Through the story there's then a Mole that wants to marry her... Why do they all just want to marry her? Fairy tales are stupid. Anyway, She ran away and saw an elf prince and Married him instead... Oh and they lived happily ever after!! Hurrayyyy
