A lobster! He looks like a boiled lobster!
Oh! Stop it now! He can hear it!
[Always ahead]
Is this your motto?
Yes!
Does it look funny?
Not at all.
My clown amused me. His name is Carlos.
Come sing your song for this Knight!
How miraculous!, How miraculous!
The cat jumped to heaven!
The dog began to crow like a rooster!
The fish that swims in the lake, began to shout!
"Always ahead" is a phrase on the shield of the lobster
Mr. Knight, I hope you understand, this song was only a joke.
Do not worry, Princess.
This song weighs only on your own conscience.
Oh!
- How terrible! - Shame!
Royal messengers galloped to all parts of the country.
To all his neighbors and friends, the King sends greetings and wishes for a long life.
The king hints that he wants his daughter to marry.
King says that he is ready to consider any nominations for a groom.
The princess is very capricious. It is not known who among them she would like.
Well, what's your opinion, Carlos?
"I swear by my stupid forehead!"
Do you find yourself right on target?
with this one you'll kill two birds with one stone,
You acquire a husband...
But at the same time: a barrel of wine!
Please do not be mad at this fool.
He says what he sees.
Damn it! This is a very sassy princess!
Well, what do you think, Carlos?
I swear by my stupid forehead!
He is thinner than all!
He is slim and tall!
He looks like a tree in the wilderness.
Set him on the roof
and attach a weathercock to his nose!
Please do not take offense at the poor fool.
He can not conceal my thoughts.
Are you kidding?
Absolutely not, Princess!
I do exercises.
You are a "hard nut to crack."
Tell me, Carlos, what does this arrogant man look like?
You should not joke with him, sis!
He can crack any nut.
This man looks like a husband for the King's daughter!
Do not be surprised, my friend ...
You got a slap in the face. I got the humiliation.
Until we meet again, Princess!
What can you say about the behavior of your daughter?
It is not just my daughter. It's your daughter too!
Impudence and arrogance...
...she inherited from you!
- Really? - Yes!
But rudeness and insolence,...
...of course, she inherited from you!
She does the most impermissible things!
If I was her fiance, I would have her killed!
You? Yeah, you certainly would not be ashamed for that!
I'll give her in marriage to the first beggar who comes to the gates of our castle!
So, brothers, the king made ​​a wise decision!
To give his daughter to marry a beggar!
- Hurrah! - Wait before you shout!
He will marry her to a single beggar, not to all of us!
However, if one of us will be the husband of a princess,
Then all of us will profit!
So, we must choose a candidate for applying as groom.
Me! Me! Me!
Brothers! The groom must be smart,
He must be young and good looking!
So, we need to choose me!
But, you're lame!
Not at all!
You have only one eye!
Not at all!
And how about your intelligence?
The smartness is there!
And how about your youth?
I'm young enough!
Now we only need to get some decent clothes.
and then I can go to the princess, to offer her my hand and heart!
Scoundrel! How dare you!
Well, the costume is modest, but quite decent.
Brothers, help the noble lord to take off his pants.
Hey!
We are ordered to let only beggars pass!
But I am a beggar!
I will not get fooled around with! Who are you?
Who I am?
I'm an ass, I'm a sheep!
I am a brainless idiot! That's who I am.
Frowning his eyebrows, the king decided the fate of his daughter.
And thus, the princess became the wife of a beggar.
- Where are you dragging me to? - To my cave!
I do not want to go into a cave! I want to go home! Let me go, you fool!
As you please, you can go. I thought I married a decent girl.
However, you swearing like a street vendor! You insolent!!
Hey, princess!
In this forest are bears!
If you hear a growl, then fall to the ground and pretend to be dead.
Very cunning, he made the princess frightened.
Now he waited, until the princess, by her own accord, would come to him.
Help me!
What happened?
Take this muck off from me!
And I thought that you were attacked by a bear.
A bear, too.
But perhaps it was a very kind bear. He stroke me on the head, then he licked me.
Yeah!
I want to eat.
Take this!
I do not wont to eat dry bread.
You see, the good woman there? Why don't you ask her for a cup of milk.
Old woman! Hand me a cup of milk! Quickly now!
My dear girl! Is that a way to ask for something?
But how then?
Like this: First you bow to the old woman,
then you say in a polite voice:
"Dear grandma! Be so kind to treat me on a glass of milk!"
Grandma! Be so kind to..
You did not say "dear."
Dear Grandma!
Be so kind as to treat me on a glass of milk!
You forgot to say "please!"
Please...
- That's all? - That's all.
Here's a bucket. There's the cow. Milk her as much as you need.
Do you have ant salt?
Salt there is.
The Beggar and the Princess walked not a day or two, but many days.
The grass was yellowing, the foliage became red and the nights were getting colder.
Stop this idiotic laughter!
Drive away those geese!
If you only knew who I was!
But I know! You the fields scarecrow!
Oh, you miserable girl!
You scarecrow!
Do not be angry at her. She is still small.
She only says what she sees with her eyes.
Yeah..
- Well, we finally are at home. - Home? ..
But you must not discover the way to my cave.
There you go!
-Attention! - Ah!
- There's a deep ravine to your right! - Oh!
To the left there is a precipice!
The path is very narrow! Do not stumble!
Now jump over the pit!
Bend down! Here, lower, even lower!
- Oh! - I told you to bend down deep.
Don't take off the blindfold until I get back!
Well, here I am, my wife.
Well, how do you like our cave?
Not bad, pretty decent.
Only here, please throw this mirror in the trash.
Why?
In the past it affected everyone for a long time.
This is my last whim.
- The last? - Yes!
And do not worry about the future.
I swear by my stupid forehead!
We watched this cartoon,
Not just for fun.
We are very interested to penetrate into the depth of its meaning.
A princess is a collective image, and certainly enlightening!
At the beginning of the film, the image was negative.At the end of the film, it was positive.
What we like in this movie is the fact that the proud beauty wanted to get rid of her bad traits.
She has become better than before.
I swear by my stupid forehead!
