@Nightcreature12 It's a really nice film for a watcher and at the time it is a rude Soviet MISINTERPRITATION caused by Lubarskaya, the famous story-corruptor of 1930th and 1950th. To my regret her 'interpritation for kids' was the basis of this film, not the original collection itself. I have both versions, hers and complete poretic translation, and they are a million times remote as for their contents
Whoa, I don't get it. If the witch kidnapped Anniki just to get Ilmarinen to make the Sampo for her, why would she suddenly confront them with these goofy challenges like plowing the field of adders? You've got Ilmarinen right where you want him: you've got his sister, and you want him to do something for you in return. So why mess around with all these other tasks?
Also, it must have been fun for the actors at 4:05 to pretend to flail around with a snake...!
@CristinaFernandez. I suppose, it's because the poor witch lived in unenlightened times and didn't have a college education. On the other hand, if witches were acting in completely rational manner all those old legends wouldn't be half so interesting to watch and read. It would be more like reading an accountant report at some business meeting.
Dorgan näkösiä galtseja tuol harvahampaan himassa. Koko Pohjolan jengi muutenkin täysin skeidadaijuja. Ihme meininkii ...

Why the Pohjolans being depicted as trolls, all this living in caves wasn't in the book!

Pythons are for the show :D Only poisonous snakes in here (Finland) are vipers.

So all you need to make a Sampo is barley, wool and a goose feather?
Oh and also the northern fire... I guess that's harder to get
I wonder how come Lemminkainen didn't just decide to shoot her after she gave them the runaround
And the snakes were pythons not vipers
Oh and it's spelled acre not acer. One of those French words.
