I wrote a poem about this so here's the begening: The door has opened, and in comes the boy, Running so fiercely to great all his toys. Twenty five soldiers in a box in his closet, How he would cry if he ever lost it. Julius the brave; and Dave the wise; Hugo, his muscles were larger in size; Dean, Sam, Dan, Thomas, Bill, and oh! It’s famous old Nathan, who everyone knows. .
In case anybody who speaks english here is wondering, the thing that the writer said at the end was:
"As the woman was looking through the logs in the fireplace, she saw what looked like a tin heart from the one-legged tion soldier. And from the ballerina was only a little sparkle, which didn't shine anymore.
disney was outstanding as always. their music was so awesome and it fit well with the animation. this is also outstanding. the beautiful ballerina and the soldier. it has more tragedy and yielding to it. the design was amazing. Troll in the box over here is just jealous now he has no one to love. they both burned, but they were together, it's romeo and juliet. two people love each other at first sight, they can't be together, but when they do, they die together. i love this story.
OMG!! I nearly cried when the ballerina jumped into the fireplace!! This is more deeper than the disney version.While the disney version focuses on happy endings,this version is the best.Wonderful art and the music suits it very well. Brava,Soviet Union!!! Brava!!!Two thumbs up for the artists as well!!!
Narrator's Text in the end is: "In the next day when housekeeper was cleaning the fireplace, she found between the ashes small piece of tin that looked like a heart. All that was left from the ballerina(dancer) was a sparkle, but it didn't shine(sparkle) anymore, it got as black as the coal." The end.
Go figure that the Russian's would be, like the only ones to actually do a Tin Soldier animation that actually follows the story. I really don't see why America needs to have a happy ending all the time in their kids stories. Life isn't full of rainbows and sunshine.
Когда мой маленький сын поделился своими переживаниями по поводу финала сказки, я поняла, что такие истории учат детей сопереживанию. И это очень важно. Мне не нравится, когда эту сказку "адаптируют" и переписывают с хеппи-ендом. Именно авторская версия имеет право на существование. Андерсен все-таки очень... и очень... Читать и читать его, короче.
@lysuha Это точно - подогнать хеппи-енд, это... Да разве жизнь под него подгонищь?! Солдатик вернулся, чтоб умереть вместе со своей любимой. Это жизнь, которой надо учить детей. Такие истории учат детей сопереживанию - Вы правильно сказали.
At the end he says that the next day when the houseworker was cleaning the fire she found a lil piece of tin looked like a heart-shape, from the ballerine there was only a spangle left but she wasn't shining anymore but was as dark as coal
Конечно красивый, светлый и трагичный фильм о вечной любви, но наверное мои дети слишком ранимы и чувствительны, чтобы показывать это сейчас. Все же это взрослый фильм, и до конца прочувствует тот, кто имеет счастье быть любымым и любить.
The most beautiful Russian cartoon ever... That's what makes me proud. I cry every time I watch this that's why I don't do it very often. The moment when the soldier is singing and crying is just heart-breaking...
Да, лучше этого ничего нет. Вечная история и вечный мультфильм.
oh ! the end's so sad ! when the soldier has fallen into the fire, and the way he looks around (poor guy !), when he starts singing (it's pity I don't understand what he says) and crying, and the girl 's crying too, and goes with him. Then they both disappear... really sad.
I love this - The steadfast Tine soldier is one of my favorite stories, and this my favorite animated version of it. The ballerina is so pretty! But I don't get why the narrator says at the end that nothing was left of her but a burnt spangle. That ending doesn't suit this version, since she jumps in the fire by herself. Anderson ended it that way because in the original version, the ballerina had no soul (she was just made of paper), and she didn't love the tin soldier. So she couldn't live on.
zizi24816 -- I don't remember any mention of the ballerina not having a soul? She was made of paper, yes, but the soldier was only made of tin, after all. Her feelings were left ambiguous, but she seemed just as conscious as him. (She looked at him at one point, anyway.)
I happen to be a fan of disney and I agree with what they did with the little mermaid, but this story was better left alone. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet, it wouldn't be the same if they both lived :(
ya. this proves disney sucks. happy endings my ass. what really moves people is tragedy. meaning, they gotta let the main character in their next movie die, or it's gonna get girlly up there. --_--
well their not togetter naw thay died ad forever, thars no hope for them thay gone naw live with it!!!! and that what macing it to so biutiful, she dident care to live or die she just cared about him he was the one, and she was happy that way, I AM SO SO SO LOVE IT
lol I completely know what theyre saying. aww i love this story. so sweet how at the end the tin melts into a heart and the balerinas necklace thingy (you cant see it) melts onto it. aww theyre together forever now
what a wonderful work of Russian animation school masters...love the music, the video, the message...everything about the movie...keep watching it all over and over again. finally i found it - THANK YOU LOTS for posting it. let's treasure what we have and be proud of such masterpieces!!
masterpic i rinember this cartoon. finaly i found it, when i was a little cid i used to wach it every day i olwaise cryed in the end the only russion good movie all the rest are shit!!!
i can remember my self waching that video when i was 4 years old, and i alweis was rilly sad in the end,i hate russian cartoons, but anderson is great, and that cartoon is art work, if you like taht stile watch the anderson mermaid

hei i just saying my opinion about russian cartoons, most of them (almost all of them) are suckk, bout this one is rilly Rilly good, and that surprized me, this cartoon is like some sort of art, a masterpice, anderson is briliant, and the russians who disainted this cartoon,
in this version the Soldier and the ballerina remind me so much of Edward and Kim from Edward Scissorhands....and that evil wizard is like Jim.... I wonder if Tim likes Andersen fairy tales.
