The story of the Bremen Town musicians was retold in a Soviet cartoon of the 60s. The names of the characters did not change, but their characters began to correspond to images from popular magazines or Russian artists. The name of the Bremen Town musicians and their prototypes is now reliably known.
Instructions
Step 1
Troubadour. This is the main character of the famous fairy tale. He is distinguished by courage, tenacity and lack of despondency. The troubadour tries to reunite with the royal daughter throughout the cartoon. Its prototype was a certain dude from a fashion magazine. In 1969, when the cartoon came out, the image of a young man in flared
trousers and hairstyle like all Beatles fans was the most appropriate. The musician was voiced by Oleg Anofriev. He sang most of his parts.
Step 2
Donkey. The name of the Bremen musician does not reflect his character traits. The donkey had no other nickname other than the designation of an equid-hoofed animal. However, in the cartoon, he showed himself as a bright and creative rock performer. The famous singer and musician Alexander Gradsky became its prototype. His genius as a master of the stage was expressed in the episode with a concert at the court of the king. A lullaby cover was shown there.
Step 3
Cock. The name of the character also matches the name of the bird. He did not have a creative prototype, and he himself showed himself as a silent hero, only occasionally leading himself actively. But if the heroes got into trouble, the Rooster always rescued them, using the ability to fly and cunning.
Step 4
Cat. The hero of the Cat from Bremen, who was called that in the cartoon and the book, is somewhat reminiscent of the Soviet animation of Puss in Boots. He is just as energetic and cheerful. It immediately shows that he is a vagabond who knows how to stand up for himself. This is a vivid and memorable character.
Step 5
Dog. Few Bremen Town musicians had a special name. The dog also did not have a nickname. He was the saddest cartoon character. But despite the depressing events in his life, he found loyal friends and associates with whom he was not so sad. This hero plays the guitar masterly throughout the entire animation.
