ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Console best movie i've ever seen.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

carlmarxsocialclub Well, it's a Russian-Romanian movie or Romanian-Russian as you like, produced by Romanian television and Mosfilm. I neither not know who and how much has contributed in it, nor I'm going to ponder on this, because Romanian television and Mosfilm did together a mega-work. If you want to have the authorship for individual strokes on the masterpiece canvas,go ahead, but I prefer to enjoy the canvas and to praise Mosfilm and Romanian television, may they both long live. As Russian I see our all-time mega-actors in the leading roles of wolf, mama goat, bears, one of the wolf's sidekicks, and I enjoy their acting as well as I enjoy the entire movie as one great piece of story telling, artistry, music, ballet, costumes, setting, you name it. All actors in the movie are up to their roles and do a fantastic performance. The original story is obviously Romanian, because Russian story of "Mama goat and seven bucks" has a different ending without gold ransom episode, leaving this alone the story is almost the same - bad wolf ends his life in fire pit. The Romanian ending of wolf's following the sack of gold into the icy river creates richer allusions, I think. They say Romanian television made the character's costumes,so I'm interested was it on purpose they added some gay details in the wolf's costume ? When wolf Suru sings in Russian "Grey wolf is innocent like a child" this makes me think it is more than a well-rhymed line. BTW I normally don't recognize such thing as musical, and I think rock'n'roll is not an appropriate music. And first I was prejudiced against this movie for much rock music is there. But giving myself a time to watch it to the end I found that this rich and deep mega-work is somehow an exception. How they did it ? Аsk Romanian television and Russian Mosfilm.

Ad Maar Wonderful movie, but...Why is this considered a Russian movie?The producers are Romania Film, Mosfilm and Ralux Film, The story is based on the fairy tale „Capra cu trei iezi" by the Romanian author Ion Creangă, the music is composed by Temistocle Popa, the costumes designed by Florina Tomescu are based on the Romanian traditional clothes, Maramureş type, also the setting is based on traditional villages from Maramureş and the director is Romanian: Elisabeta Bostan. Cinematography, Film Editing, Production Design in all of these the Russians had a minor role if any at all. Yes, the leading roles are played by Russian actors and the movie was somehow distributed to the west by the Russians but I think those that created the movie deserve at least some credit.I think for most of the Romanians who saw this decades ago as well as for those that saw this today will be quite confusing that this is considered a Russian movie.

henkelman What this movie make one of the finest is that the tunes and scenes are staying for years in your brain. When I see the movie last month after 25 years, it was like I have seen it a week before. So it did a lot to me in those days when I looked with my children at the musical. You can almost not believe that the leading actress and actors are now at the age of 70. So time flies. I almost looked for 25 years. I once had that movie on beta max tape but I lost it. Now Ihave the English version and the Russian one. I always though the voices were dubbed on the English movie, but that's not true, it are two complete different movies, with a different camera view. Does anyone know if there is a soundtrack for sale of this great musical? The English version I have is not one of the best, so I still am looking for a VHS with a better quality. Maybe someone knows a store? I hope that someday a DVD will be for sale. And, I found the movie "Godspell" after 25 years again.

kimrog03 This musical sure brings back some childhood memories! The classic song "Mom is home" is the one that I remember best, but I quickly recognized the other songs when I watched it again at the age of 27. The only thing that bugs me about the movie is that it's not always clear what's happening on the screen: the editing could have been better. But who cares, the visuals are stunning, the make-up and the sets are really cool, and so is the dancing and singing. I don't know if the movie is available to buy or rent, I've only seen it on television (dubbed in English).
