I am Russian (OK, Belarussian, to be precise), and grew up watching these wonderful cartoons. They are fantastic! Without mindless violence (Japanimation!), fairly slow-paced, no pretentious grandeur (Disney of the 90's!) - they are done in the tradition of Dumbo, Bambi, Snowwhite. The only thing which absolutely devastated me - where is the original dialog in Russian? Why delete it from the original (at an additional expense, I guess)? That's the only reason why I gave it 4 stars.

I was so excited to finally get a copy of Ivan and His Magic Pony on DVD, but ended up disappointed. I own the original on VHS and the DVD does not do it justice. Yes, the animation is the same but the dialog has changed. The songs alone are very different. I wish someone would just make a DVD version that is not different from the original. A childhood dream ruined.

those ARE the stories from my childhood - but why was the russian soundtrack removed???
put it back and i'll buy a copy for everyone i love.

This was really a waste of my time and money. The voice-overs were poor, they couldn't even vaguely sync the english speech. I'd reccomend all viewers to watch the original Russian versions instead. There really isn't anything notable or special about this "collection..."

Story is great but this version has different voices and the songs are changed. Somehow it ruins the whole thing if you loved the 1977 version. Got this as a gift and was immensely disappointed. I hope someday the 1977 version will be made as DVD.

i bought story from my childhood vol 1,2,4. but ,vol 1 and 2 is my favor one of vol 4. it'not rotoscoped like vol4 (beauty and the beast). they needed to clean up it all the dust from old movie . the quality very fuzzy and edited some scent for sure...but i still give 4stars . because i still like it . remember old times

All 4 stores are excellent example of combination of great animation, wonderfull songs and good stories done by very talented people. It will be a great addition to anyone's collection. My child watches over and over again.
