Description:

A screen version of Pushkin’s fairy tale about Tsar Saltan, his son - the good and mighty bogatyr (knight) Prince Gvidon, and the fine Tsarevna Swan.

The film was made while the studio was evacuated from Moscow to Tashkent, in Central Asia. It was released Jan 23, 1943. A colour version was also made, released sometime between late 1944-June 1949, but it seems to have been screened very rarely. The colour version is being restored at Gosfilmofond - some images of their work can be seen here. A preliminary version was screened to the public in March 2020.

There are other copies of this film on Youtube that are slightly nicer (here and here, timed 34:36), but these subtitles are very out-of-sync for much of them because those versions have a few seconds of footage cut out of the middle somewhere.

Please note that the Esperanto subtitles are ONLY for the slightly shortened version of the film (so it is selectable only in one of the above 3 videos), and would be out-of-sync for the full-length videos.
