Svein Olav Nyberg This movie is one of my all-time greats with a gripping tale, actually rather good music and fine performances. And anyone who's seen it even once will sing at least part of "Momy's home" and get tears in their eyes. Technically it had a few flaws in the English version, so I jack my rating down to 9 for that. Those flaws should be easy to fix on a DVD release, though.But most of all, this is a movie I would love to show my children. A real movie (as opposed to what TV is showing too much of these days) yet with appeal to kids both in my time and in the present. If you like (and remember) this movie, you should also have a look at "Three nuts for Cinderella" (http://imdb.com/title/tt0070832/), a far superior version of the Cinderella tale.
Nicolas_ouellet I have seen that movie twice in my early years and my souvenir are quite sure. It was an incredible movie. Music, costume... and all!I'm now looking to buy that movie but I can't find it anywhere. any format would to DVD, vhs, svcd, vcd....etc. English or French.Do any of you can help me?
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).
thepts This is not my typical film at all; a baltic/russian musical movie for children, with rock'n'roll music..I don't like musicals much, and I grew up with everything being rock/pop, so I don't like rock much either. But this movie is great.. maybe it's because I watched it as a kid? The movie has got that magical touch, and a strange, mystical tone to it. It was certainly scary the first time I saw it. And the music is gripping, even though it's, as said, not my style at all. I would like to see/hear it again to see if it is as special as I remember it. Also, I see other people are interested in seeing it again. It's important in the DVD era not to let old movie gems disappear before they can get into DVD print, so I decided to see if it was possible to trace it.After some searching on the web, eventually using the name of the guy playing the wolf, Titi Suru (Mikhail Boyarsky), I found a contact address (seemingly a friend of his) which I tried, and luckily, this person got me in contact with the russian television company TVIN which are now distributing the rights (and are interested in making a DVD, depending on interest).
