Does anybody remember these beautiful gems being shown in the seventies? I think most were made earlier,but i saw them mostly in the seventies.

The Little Mermaid - Russia

Aladdin's Magic Lamp - Russia

You may recognize some of the screen shots of Aladdin's Magic Lamp better.

I do remember a foreign Cinderella drama that was brilliant. I wonder if it was one of these? It was in a snowy country and I remember a scene where she cracked open a walnut and her dress was magically inside it. She wore one of those hooded cloaks like in the Scottish widows ad.

Re: European and Russian Fairy Tales

Could it be the 1974 television adaption of the Brother's Grimm Fairy Tale: Allerleirauh,which translates as: All Kinds Of Fur?
This particular adaption was French,and spoken in French.Here is a clip of it for you Ann.
It is called: Donkeyskin

Ah thanks Moonvisage, that was class. I enjoyed watching that(what a creep twas that King?!) but no, I'm convinced this was a version of Cinderella.I remember her going to the ball wearing one of those cloaks in the snow.

Re: European and Russian Fairy Tales

Could this be the one you remember Ann?
It is a 1973 or 1975 Czechslovakian re-telling of the Cinderella story.In the Czechslovakian title is: Three Oreshka Dlja Zolushki.Which,translated to english is: Three Nuts for Cinderella.It has been released on DVD.

Be Warned,the next clip below is the Happy Ending.

Here it is in the German Language.Three Wishes for Cinderella

The different countries seem to change the name of it slightly,from: Three Nuts for Cinderella,to Three Gifts for Cinderella and Three Wishes for Cinderella.

If anything Ann,the version you probably saw was this one,with the English Narration: Three Gifts for Cinderella.

I hope this is the one you remember,and it brings back lovely memories for you Ann.

Re: European and Russian Fairy Tales

i remember The Little Mermaid well particularly the beautiful scene at the end. when she dies she turns in to sea foam.

Does anyone remember an eastern European fairy tale series which featured 2 poor farm boys who dream about touching the moon?. they put a ladder on the roof and climb it.
it was shown in the late 70's.
