Plasticine Crow

The film uses drawings by children
from the animation studio of the
Kiev Central Republican Pioneers' Palace.

About Paintings
(Aleksandr Kushner)

5
00:00:22,540 --> 00:00:26,940
Should you see on any painting
A blue river, moving fast,

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,640
Or a spruce, with white frost covered,
Or a yard, sky overcast,

7
00:00:31,740 --> 00:00:36,510
Or a snowfield, good for sleighing,
Or a field with tent take shape,

8
00:00:36,570 --> 00:00:40,060
Then the name for such a painting
Is undoubtedly...

9
00:00:40,260 --> 00:00:41,240
"Landscape!"

10
00:00:50,490 --> 00:00:54,810
Should a picture framed in amber
Have a coffee mug someplace,

11
00:00:54,910 --> 00:00:59,370
Or juice in a large decanter,
Or a rose in crystal vase,

12
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:04,150
Or a bronzed heavy kettle,
Or a pear, a cake, or pie,

13
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:07,530
Or all of those things together, -
Know that this is...

14
00:01:07,630 --> 00:01:08,830
"A still life!"

15
00:01:18,110 --> 00:01:22,380
If you see that from this painting,
Someone's looking out at us -

16
00:01:22,830 --> 00:01:26,880
Say, a prince in old-time costume,
Or a man high on a truss,

17
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:29,710
Pilot, or a ballet dancer,

18
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:31,900
Neighbour Kolya, your classmate,

19
00:01:31,901 --> 00:01:35,201
Then you may be sure: this painting
Will go by the name...

20
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:36,390
"Buffet!"

21
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,500
"Not buffet."

22
00:01:51,940 --> 00:01:53,230
"Portrait!"

23
00:02:14,070 --> 00:02:18,000
A Game
(Ovsey Driz)

24
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:26,510
Here, I see a...
bush growing my lawn,

25
00:02:26,650 --> 00:02:30,110
Sparrows playing "leapfrog" -
and they've gone!

26
00:02:30,380 --> 00:02:34,480
There's my funny
dog going on a stroll...

27
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,900
Now we don't see anything at all.

28
00:02:39,340 --> 00:02:43,240
Here, I see a... tall pillar of dust -

29
00:02:43,340 --> 00:02:46,860
Lorry 'round the corner,
rushing fast,

30
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:50,790
I can see
a driver in control.

31
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:55,780
Now we don't see anything at all.

32
00:02:56,090 --> 00:02:59,750
Here we see a... moth in yellow frock,

33
00:02:59,850 --> 00:03:03,090
...swinging itself on a thin, green stalk.

34
00:03:03,660 --> 00:03:05,680
We see, through the...

35
00:03:05,780 --> 00:03:07,820
We see, through the...

36
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:10,950
We see, through the
window flies a bumblebee,

37
00:03:11,050 --> 00:03:16,840
And again, again it's all dark around me.

38
00:03:24,640 --> 00:03:28,250
Again, we see:
an armchair is de-dusted.

39
00:03:28,350 --> 00:03:32,470
We see thunder approaching in the skies.

40
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,210
It's so really, very interesting! -

41
00:03:36,310 --> 00:03:39,950
Closing and opening one's eyes.

42
00:03:40,050 --> 00:03:43,620
Closing and opening one's eyes.

43
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Closing and opening one's eyes.

44
00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:52,370
It's so very interesting!

45
00:03:56,571 --> 00:03:58,171
Or Maybe, or Maybe...
(Eduard Uspenskiy)

46
00:03:58,370 --> 00:04:00,770
A simple little fable

47
00:04:01,371 --> 00:04:03,671
Or maybe not a fable

48
00:04:04,169 --> 00:04:06,371
Or maybe not so simple

49
00:04:06,973 --> 00:04:09,573
We'd like for you to hear

50
00:04:10,073 --> 00:04:12,573
We know it from our childhood

51
00:04:12,974 --> 00:04:15,475
Or maybe not from childhood

52
00:04:16,076 --> 00:04:18,275
We might not even know it

53
00:04:18,977 --> 00:04:22,277
So don't be too severe.

54
00:04:23,577 --> 00:04:25,178
Tell us!

55
00:04:28,478 --> 00:04:30,278
We think there was a crow once

56
00:04:31,780 --> 00:04:33,579
Unless it was a doggy

57
00:04:35,081 --> 00:04:36,880
It could have been a moo-cow

58
00:04:38,282 --> 00:04:40,082
Whom fortune one day found

59
00:04:41,582 --> 00:04:43,382
A package from the mailman -

60
00:04:44,884 --> 00:04:46,683
A half-pound hunk of Swiss cheese!

61
00:04:48,185 --> 00:04:49,984
Or was it even bigger?

62
00:04:51,485 --> 00:04:53,285
Perhaps it was a pound.

63
00:04:54,286 --> 00:04:56,086
The crow flew up a pine tree

64
00:04:57,588 --> 00:04:59,387
Unless perhaps she didn't

65
00:05:00,889 --> 00:05:02,688
Perhaps she took a running start

66
00:05:04,190 --> 00:05:06,190
And climbed a big old palm

67
00:05:07,091 --> 00:05:08,890
To have herself some breakfast

68
00:05:08,892 --> 00:05:10,592
Or was it lunch, or dinner?

69
00:05:10,693 --> 00:05:12,143
Perhaps it was a midnight snack

70
00:05:12,193 --> 00:05:13,693
In short, some sort of nom.

71
00:05:14,095 --> 00:05:15,595
Then what happened?

72
00:05:25,795 --> 00:05:27,595
Just then, a fox ran by her

73
00:05:29,097 --> 00:05:30,896
Or tried but didn't make it

74
00:05:32,398 --> 00:05:34,198
Was it an ostrich full of gloom?

75
00:05:35,398 --> 00:05:37,398
Unless it wasn't gloom…

76
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,600
Perhaps it was a janitor

77
00:05:41,601 --> 00:05:43,401
Who went to breathe some country air

78
00:05:45,202 --> 00:05:47,002
And also look for hazel twigs

79
00:05:48,103 --> 00:05:49,902
To make a nice new broom?

80
00:06:10,003 --> 00:06:11,503
"My dear crow, I dare say -

81
00:06:13,104 --> 00:06:14,905
Unless you are a doggy -

82
00:06:16,506 --> 00:06:18,306
But even for a moo-cow,

83
00:06:19,906 --> 00:06:21,707
You are a work of art!

84
00:06:23,108 --> 00:06:24,908
You have such lovely feathers

85
00:06:26,408 --> 00:06:28,209
A massive rack (of antlers)

86
00:06:29,709 --> 00:06:31,509
Such slim and slender tootsies

87
00:06:33,011 --> 00:06:34,811
And such a giving heart!

88
00:06:36,211 --> 00:06:38,012
But caw us a cantata

89
00:06:39,513 --> 00:06:41,313
Or bark for us a ballad

90
00:06:42,813 --> 00:06:44,513
Or simply moo melodiously -

91
00:06:45,614 --> 00:06:47,214
It's what a cow would do

92
00:06:47,316 --> 00:06:49,016
And then a great big saddle

93
00:06:49,116 --> 00:06:50,666
A carpet and a TV

94
00:06:50,717 --> 00:06:52,217
You'd surely be awarded

95
00:06:52,318 --> 00:06:54,119
Without too much ado!

96
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,720
The crow was flattered silly

97
00:07:09,420 --> 00:07:14,420
Unless it was a doggy

98
00:07:14,922 --> 00:07:16,372
It could have been...

99
00:07:16,423 --> 00:07:17,923
A HIPPO!!

100
00:07:20,223 --> 00:07:25,223
And she began to sing

101
00:07:26,725 --> 00:07:28,725
Cock a doodle doo!

102
00:07:32,025 --> 00:07:33,725
Which meant her beak was open

103
00:07:33,827 --> 00:07:35,426
Unless it was her dog-snout

104
00:07:35,527 --> 00:07:37,227
Or else her bovine muzzle

105
00:07:37,228 --> 00:07:38,828
In short, the cheese was dropped

106
00:07:38,930 --> 00:07:40,630
Right on the fox's noggin

107
00:07:40,930 --> 00:07:42,330
Why you throwing stuff?!

108
00:07:42,431 --> 00:07:44,131
Unless it was the ostrich's

109
00:07:45,932 --> 00:07:47,432
Or no, it was the janitor

110
00:07:49,434 --> 00:07:51,133
Who on the head got bopped!

111
00:08:00,734 --> 00:08:03,134
The moral of this fable

112
00:08:04,536 --> 00:08:07,036
Unless it's not a fable

113
00:08:08,836 --> 00:08:11,836
Not just a clever adult

114
00:08:13,338 --> 00:08:16,137
A toddler could decode:

115
00:08:18,238 --> 00:08:20,238
No loitering, no frolicking,

116
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,690
No singing and no dancing

117
00:08:21,740 --> 00:08:23,491
In a construction area

118
00:08:23,541 --> 00:08:25,341
With a suspended load!

119
00:08:25,743 --> 00:08:27,142
That's all!
