There once lived a father who had three sons. His two elder sons, Anton
and Agafon, had chosen themselves regular girls for brides, but the
youngest one, Ivanushka, brought to his home a frog from the marshes.
The father was very much surprised, but didn't say anything. However,
the frog was actually a beautiful girl, Vassilisa, over whom Gorynych
the Serpent had cast a spell. Vassilisa refused to marry the monster and
he turned her into a frog. But Ivanushka did not renounce his love. He
had to overcome many obstacles before he returned to Vassilisa her
former appearance and killed the three-headed dragon.

The Russians don't take care of their old films, and this one, even
though short, didn't compress at all well. Plus the R1 NTSC DVD was
blended from a PAL master.

Not all of the subtitles would play correctly. 4 of the languages made a
black screen when they were on. So, I split them and fixed the broken
ones. The Subs1 folder contains English, Spanish, French, Russian,
Italian, German, Dutch, Swedish, and Portuguese, with English as the
default. The Subs2 folder contains Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic,
with Hebrew as the default.
