THE IRON WOLF

4
00:00:16,150 --> 00:00:20,640
Once, a very long time ago,
lived a fellow named Mishko.

5
00:00:21,180 --> 00:00:24,410
This is what he looked like!
He was a tsar's son.

6
00:00:25,310 --> 00:00:29,540
And he had a horse, too.
What's a man without a horse?

7
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:37,150
One day, he rode off into the forest...

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:38,340
...and fell asleep.

9
00:00:41,140 --> 00:00:44,770
Fell asleep,
and missed seeing a rock by the road.

10
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:51,230
On that rock, it was written

11
00:00:51,890 --> 00:00:58,330
that in this forest
lived a scary, scary wolf!

12
00:01:00,580 --> 00:01:04,580
Oh, was he ever fierce,
bad-tempered,

13
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:07,040
and most importantly - made of iron.

14
00:01:07,420 --> 00:01:10,830
So nobody could bite him.
Only he bit everyone else.

15
00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:13,510
He'd meet someone and
bite, bite, bite...

16
00:01:14,170 --> 00:01:15,530
That's the sort of wolf he was.

17
00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:24,880
The tsar's son was all...

18
00:01:29,170 --> 00:01:30,500
Mishko was terrified.

19
00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:34,530
- I'm gonna eat you up
right here and now!

20
00:01:39,170 --> 00:01:42,000
Mishko went and started teasing him:
- I'll escape! I'll escape!

21
00:01:42,170 --> 00:01:43,500
And the wolf went chasing after him!

22
00:01:45,170 --> 00:01:47,500
He was growling and
getting slobber everywhere!

23
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,430
- Wait!

24
00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:58,650
Wait, I'll catch up! If I get you,
I don't know what I'll do first!

25
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,300
But afterwards, I'm gonna eat you!

26
00:02:00,401 --> 00:02:02,951
Or at least nibble you a bit!

27
00:02:10,420 --> 00:02:13,830
So they ran on and on, and suddenly
came upon a hole in the ground!

28
00:02:14,270 --> 00:02:15,220
Mishko dived in!

29
00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:19,360
The wolf wanted to get in after him,
pulled on the nail...

30
00:02:19,850 --> 00:02:22,580
...and everything fell apart!

31
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,180
20 YEARS LATER

32
00:02:30,180 --> 00:02:34,200
Mishko fell near a hut where
a witch lived with her daughter.

33
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,750
And the iron wolf was the father.

34
00:02:37,230 --> 00:02:43,050
- Ah, help me, lady! The iron wolf
is after me, he wants to eat me!

35
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:49,120
He's got big claws and sharp teeth!
But I'm so soft and fat...

36
00:02:49,230 --> 00:02:50,250
The witches were all:

37
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:53,350
(rather maliciously)

38
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:56,420
- Aha! Here I am!

39
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,200
- Oh, help! Save me!

40
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:14,200
- Enough! - yells the daughter -
stop this!

41
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:18,440
Let him first marry me,
and bring me some magic water,

42
00:03:18,620 --> 00:03:20,430
And then we can eat him.

43
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:24,810
- Hurrah! - they all yelled.

44
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:27,000
- Oh-oh, no, please don't!

45
00:03:27,230 --> 00:03:30,140
So Mishko had no choice but to marry.
What could he do?

46
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,080
20 YEARS LATER

47
00:03:43,390 --> 00:03:49,200
- Well, how's married life?
Give me the scoop, man-to-man.

48
00:03:50,950 --> 00:03:52,980
- Aw, nuts to married life!

49
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,890
You'd better not even ask.

50
00:03:56,230 --> 00:03:59,450
And besides, I need to search
for that water now...

51
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:05,890
You call this living? Really puts
a damper on the whole marriage thing...

52
00:04:07,690 --> 00:04:08,890
Phooey!

53
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,960
Now, that water was so magical
that a single drop was enough

54
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,570
to turn any ugly female into a beauty.

55
00:04:29,780 --> 00:04:30,970
Caw!

56
00:04:33,580 --> 00:04:34,970
Shh! Quiet!

57
00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:52,550
And Mishko went back to his villains.

58
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,580
Suddenly, he heard
somebody crying in the fog.

59
00:05:00,270 --> 00:05:02,290
- What are you crying about, old man?

60
00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:06,300
- How can I not cry, you idiot?

61
00:05:07,101 --> 00:05:09,301
You've killed my wife!

62
00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:12,780
- What, for real? - asked Mishko,

63
00:05:13,630 --> 00:05:16,340
- You're a real comedian, old man!
That's just a crow!

64
00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:23,950
- What crow, you idiot?
That's my wife, my beloved beauty!

65
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:26,970
- These women all look alike to me!

66
00:05:27,470 --> 00:05:31,900
Don't you grieve, old man.
I'll fix everything.

67
00:05:33,460 --> 00:05:35,700
He poured a bit of water on her -
drip, drip!

68
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,760
- Mother of God!
That water's really something!

69
00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:48,150
Too bad there's not enough left
for the old stump himself, too.

70
00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:52,740
- For lifting the enchantment on my wife,

71
00:05:53,310 --> 00:05:56,900
I'm giving you a magical chain

72
00:05:57,340 --> 00:06:00,950
and a magical cat's tail.

73
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,420
The chain can break through metal.

74
00:06:05,110 --> 00:06:09,160
And the tail, if you attach it behind you,
will turn you into a cat.

75
00:06:09,630 --> 00:06:13,010
As soon as you pull it away,
you'll return to your old self.

76
00:06:15,100 --> 00:06:20,210
- Thank you, old man, - said Mishko,
- in that case, I'll go and kill the wolf.

77
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:24,620
What a polite young man. In that
royal palace, they were all like that.

78
00:06:24,721 --> 00:06:25,971
20 YEARS LATER

79
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:34,520
- Well? Have you brought the magic water?

80
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:36,480
- Naturally!

81
00:06:37,890 --> 00:06:40,180
And he hit him with the chain
across his spine!

82
00:06:49,070 --> 00:06:52,150
- What have I done? This is even worse!

83
00:07:08,730 --> 00:07:10,040
- Now that's what I call a strike!

84
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:12,660
- Stop slicing like that!

85
00:07:14,030 --> 00:07:15,080
- Oh, mommy!

86
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:18,540
- It's always the same...

87
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,090
The witches saw that Mishko had chopped
up the wolf, and went chasing him!

88
00:07:23,220 --> 00:07:25,470
He, thinking quickly,
got right back on his horse!

89
00:07:29,030 --> 00:07:30,990
- Help me now, cat's tail!

90
00:07:32,591 --> 00:07:33,641
- What about me?

91
00:07:42,492 --> 00:07:44,000
- Take this... hooah!

92
00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:10,840
- Ah, you won't get away!
We've got you!

93
00:08:12,041 --> 00:08:13,541
- Where d'you think you're going?!

94
00:08:15,770 --> 00:08:18,700
- I'll just attach this tail to you...

95
00:08:32,820 --> 00:08:38,740
Then everyone yelled: "Hurrah! Hurrah!",
"Awesome!", "Praises be!"

96
00:08:39,590 --> 00:08:41,730
"Awesome!", "Praises be!"

97
00:08:42,030 --> 00:08:46,050
And those didn't know what to yell
just yelled like mad.

98
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,830
And that's why you should never
pull cats by their tails.
