00:00ANNA! ANNA! ANNA! ANSWER ME!

00:26Stop screaming, Misha. Can't you see I'm busy?

00:29Really? Too busy to talk to Mother?

00:33Oh, that's different.

00:36Anna, I need you to go into the woods and gather mushrooms, or we'll have no soup tonight.

00:42Yes, Mother. I'll go right away.

00:46I want to go too. May I?

00:48Yes, but don't go past the black oak. That part of the woods is enchanted and evil.

00:53I'm not afraid. I'll take Father's sword.

00:56Don't be silly, Misha. You have to carry the basket.

00:59But we might run into the evil witch Griselda.

01:05You can just stay here, then.

01:09All right. Give me the basket.

01:12Stay together, children. And watch your little brother, Anna.

01:21Anna, do you really think the forest is enchanted?

01:24I'm not going past the black oak to find out.

01:28I'm going to bring home the biggest mushroom of all.

01:30You!

01:36You haven't captured a mushroom at all. You've captured a silly little nut.

01:40Look! Mushrooms!

01:43Those are bad ones, Misha. Poison.

01:47Oh! One is running away.

01:49Don't be silly. Mushrooms can't run. Now come on.

01:54It's a magical mushroom.

02:00I bet it came from the other side of the black oak.

02:05Of course I did.

02:08And you'll never catch me, little man.

02:10Misha! Come see the mushrooms I found.

02:12Come see my mushroom.

02:19You can catch me.

02:21You can catch me.

02:24Hello. Here I am.

02:30Come back here, mushroom.

02:34Try and catch me.

02:46The black oak. I shouldn't go near it.

02:49I shouldn't go near it.

02:52Come and get me, little boy.

02:57Gotcha!

03:03Who's got who?

03:06Another stupid little boy for my mistress, witch Griselda.

03:13How lovely. Now to take him back to my castle.

03:19Misha! Misha! Help me carry these.

03:24Misha! Misha! Where are you?

03:29Misha! Stop fooling with me.

03:34The black oak. It went into the enchanted woods.

03:43Misha!

03:46Misha!

03:56Goodness. It's an enchanted tree.

04:02Enchanted tree, are you ill?

04:07I am dying.

04:10One of Griselda's evil worms is gnawing at my roots.

04:14Then Griselda does exist?

04:18Yes. And her evil servants are destroying our beautiful woods.

04:24I must kill the worm.

04:30Hey! What do you think you're doing?

04:34Stop it. Don't make me angry.

04:38Griselda has crowned me King of the Worms.

04:41You can't hurt me.

04:56Thank you, child. You have saved my life.

05:01But witch Griselda will be angry.

05:06Take this switch and know that it has power.

05:09Take this switch and know that it has power thrice its size.

05:13Use it very wisely when troubled authorize.

05:16One touch of the narrow end and things grow small and tiny.

05:20A touch again from the other end and things grow tall and mighty.

05:27But I would trade all the magic switches in the world to find my lost little brother.

05:33Dear girl, do you hear the babbling of the brook nearby?

05:37Yes, I hear it.

05:39Follow that brook. It will lead you to a small ravine.

05:42Above the ravine you will find an ancient tree.

05:45In that tree sits a very wise crow.

05:48He knows everything that goes on in the forest.

05:50Perhaps he will know where to find your lost brother.

05:53Hello? Hello, crow? Hello up there?

05:57Hello? Please answer me. I need your help.

06:00Stop screaming, girl. He'll never hear you.

06:04Why not?

06:05When wise old crow has his nose buried in a book,

06:09you have to practically scream in his ear to get him to notice you.

06:14His ear? But how will I ever reach his ear?

06:18This tree is so tall.

06:22But I can make it small, of course.

06:25Please, wise old crow, can you help me find my brother?

06:29So, evil Griselda has done it again.

06:33No child is safe while she lives in these woods.

06:37You must ask for help from the gentle giant Farrar.

06:41Friend Bunny there will lead you to him. He'll know what to do.

06:46Wait! I would like to ask you to help me find my brother.

06:51Friend Bunny there will lead you to him. He'll know what to do.

06:55Wait! I would like you to return my home to normal.

07:04Thank you again for all of your help, wise crow.

07:07Goodbye now.

07:10I hope you like my lovely castle, boy.

07:15Because you will never leave here again.

07:18Now, while I'm napping, you clean up around here.

07:22No, I want to sleep too.

07:25Silence, boy.

07:27You can sleep when you're dead.

07:30For now, you will clean all the ashes from my fireplace.

07:34Then you will brush the mane of my beautiful horse.

07:39What beautiful horse?

07:41Over there.

07:43That's not a horse, it's a broom.

07:45Shut up.

07:46Shut up.

07:48And keep those wretched mice quiet too.

07:53Why are they caged?

07:55They were eating my sour cream. That's why they're caged.

07:59Well, I like sour cream too.

08:01Must I throw you into a cage too? You stay away from my food.

08:07I'm going to bed.

08:09And when I awaken, I think I'll eat you.

08:14For dinner.

08:16Little boy.

08:18I think I'm not such a little boy.

08:21Yes, you are. You're a stupid little boy.

08:25You'll see when I escape.

08:28Never. No one escapes from here.
