You can have a different attitude to the USSR. But one cannot be denied - amazing fairy tale films were shot in this country. Each of them has a hidden morality, a vivid image of a positive hero and a positive ending. And in these films famous and talented actors starred.

Popular blogger Vitaly Dubogrey conducted a survey in his LiveJournal to find out which Soviet fairy tale films are the best. Readers of the blog chose from 160 movie titles the most popular and favorite. Most of the films were related to children's cinema, but among them were fairy tales designed for teenage and adult audiences.

A full list of finalists can be found in LJ "Positive from the City of the Sun." And we present to you the top 10 of the best Soviet fairy-tale films selected by the results of voting on the blog dubikvit.livejournal.com.

10. Three Fat Men (1966)

The story, shot by Alexei Batalov based on the story of the same name by Yuri Olesha, opens the rating of favorite Soviet fairy tales. She talks about the three cruel rulers who rule the city until Tutti's young heir reaches adulthood. The gunsmith Prospero, tightrope walker Tibul, Dr. Gaspar and the circus girl Suok, who are very similar to Tutti's favorite doll, are fighting against the tyranny of three fat men.

Interesting tricks, combined shooting, excellent acting and catchy songs make Three Fat Men a favorite fairy tale for several generations of Russians.

An interesting fact: for the sake of the role of Tibul, Alexey Batalov learned to walk the rope for several months and performed tricks in the film himself, without an understudy.

9. The Old Man Hottabych (1956)

Once a schoolboy Volka found an ancient jug, opened it and thereby freed from captivity the wise and good genie Gassan Abdurahman ibn Hottaba. For brevity - Hottabych. In gratitude, the genie is ready to fulfill the boy’s wishes and goes with him on an exciting journey on a carpet-plane.

Not all viewers liked the game of Alexei Litvinov (Volka), it was called "lethargic" and "mechanical." However, in most reviews, only in excellent expressions speak of the performer of the role of Hottabych - Nikolai Volkova. It is also worth noting the magnificent musical accompaniment in the film and the absence in it of the "main villain", characteristic of most fairy tales.

8. Cinderella (1947)

A sweet, naive and kind fairy tale about poor Cinderella, who, thanks to the fairy godmother, went to the ball and charmed the prince, was shot back in 1947. But, thanks to the excellent play of Ioannina Zheimo, Erast Garin, Faina Ranevskaya, this film is pleasant and interesting to watch even in our days.

7. About Little Red Riding Hood (1977)

The Old She-Wolf, having decided to take revenge on Little Red Riding Hood, instructs her two sons to catch the girl. And Little Riding Hood, unaware of the danger that threatens her, again hurries through the forest to her sick grandmother.

In this fun Soviet musical, everything is fine - from the plot and songs to the actors. Yana Poplavskaya, who played the role of Little Red Riding Hood, at the age of 11, received the USSR State Prize for her brilliant work.

6. Wizards (1982)

This fantastic comedy, scripted by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, can not be called the best children's fairy tale since the USSR. This would be unfair to adult viewers, because "Wizards" are equally good for people of all ages. And it is not in vain that this film is shown annually on New Year's Eve, it is very kind, bright, and the songs in it are wonderful.

In the center of the plot is Ivan Pukhov (Alexander Abdulov), who is preparing for the wedding with his bride Alena Sanina (Alexandra Yakovleva). But Alena is a difficult girl, she is a sorceress and works at the NUINU Institute. Thanks to the intrigues of an insidious admirer - Apollo Sataneyev (played by Valentin Gaft) - Alena from a sweet and kind girl turns into a cold and ruthless witch. And now, on New Year’s Eve, Ivan urgently needs to go to Kitezh-grad to free his beloved from evil spells.

5. Morozko (1964)

Director Alexander Rowe made many good fairy tale films for children. They included the film about the good girl Nastya and the evil stepmother, who planned to get rid of her stepdaughter, sending her to freeze in the winter forest.

This tale shows a striking difference between positive and negative characters. Nastya is kind, hardworking, smart and welcoming. And her half-sister Marfushechka and stepmother absorbed all the negative qualities - from greed and envy to cruelty and stupidity. Thanks to this, “Frost” is not only an interesting, but also an instructive movie.

4. Mary Poppins, bye (1983)

Many parents dream of a perfect nanny. However, such a nanny chooses a suitable family for herself. She will teach children impeccable manners, and will introduce you to the magical world where porcelain cats come to life, you can fly in balloons and drink tea, hovering in the air.

Dances, songs and humor - these are the three whales on which the popularity of this good children's fairy tale filmed in the USSR rests.

3. Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors (1963)

One of the best Soviet children's films made by Alexander Rowe will introduce children to the wonderful world of the Looking Glass, where the ordinary schoolgirl Olya gets. Together with her double, the girl Yalo, she will save the boy Gourde from prison, defeat the villains and destroy the crooked mirrors.

2. An ordinary miracle (1978)

This is a picture that can be safely called a fairy tale for adults. It starred such stars of Soviet cinema as Oleg Yankovsky, Evgeny Leonov, Andrei Mironov, Yuri Solomin and Alexander Abdulov.

The film is distinguished by its excellent musical accompaniment and is full of witty dialogues that have long been stolen into quotes. And his whole atmosphere is saturated with romance with a touch of drama. After all, the main character performed by Alexander Abdulov must turn into a bear if he kisses the beautiful princess. This is the condition made by the eccentric wizard. And he is not going to cancel his decision, because only brave people ... or bears deserve a happy ending.

1. The Adventures of Pinocchio (1975)

They recognize him everywhere. Tell me, what's his name? These are the words of a song about the hero of one of the most popular movie tales of the USSR. The adventures of the impudent, fearless and resourceful Pinocchio were invariably collected from children by the screens, and today this fairy tale has not lost its cheerful charm. The secrets of the frantic success of “The Adventures of Pinocchio” - in a great selection of actors, in wonderful songs, in colorful scenery. But the main thing is in the unique atmosphere of a fairy tale, which cannot be reproduced using the most modern computer special effects.
