Description:

There was a little girl who became friends with a hedgehog. The hedgehog often caused trouble for the girl, but she learned to accept his friendship anyway.

A similar Ukrainian folk tale from Poltava region exists, which can be read here. First published in 2008 in a collection by Mykola Zinchuk of late-20th-century Ukrainian folklore, it is quite possible that the folk tale was inspired by the animated film, rather than the other way around (especially since the film does not credit itself as being inspired by a folk tale, as would usually be the case).

The film may have been influenced by The Frog King, or Iron Henry or The Girl and the Dolphin. It represents the physiological development of adolescence.

This film reminds me of a memory. Among the toys my father brought back from Bulgaria was a rubber goose. At that time, all rubber toys were very thin and had to be inflated before they could be used. My cousin and I took it out to play with it. I tried climbing on its back, and its stomach was immediately punctured. Even though it was only a small tear, those were years when life in Vietnam was very difficult, so even simple glue was not available. My grandfather and father tried but could not mend the tear. My father had to keep the goose in the closet for more than twenty years, because after all, it was a memory of my grandfather and the time my father used to live in Bulgaria. However, the tear has followed me throughout my life.
