Long Ago & Far Away: Svatohor (Part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- In this Russian folktale, Svatohor (Saint Mountain) is a young hunter who must complete seemingly impossible tasks to save the czar from his enemies and win the hand of his daughter, Maria.
this was the single most awesome piece of children's television ever made. this program has strengthened my resolve to read folktales to my future children. they'll know all the greats: Svahtohor, Clulichlain, St. George, King Arthur, El Cid.
I miss this show... It introduced me to so many stories from so many different cultures I might not have otherwise experienced. i owe it so much.
THANK YOU! This is such a beautiful story- it was my favorite Long Ago and Far Away episode- I'm so happy it's on the internet now.
Crazy how this program means so much to us! As a kid, I didn't know anyone else who watched this show!
Thanks a million for putting this up. I was raised on this show. It's a shame they never released it on DVD and don't show it anymore. I would love for my kids to be able to see this some day.
OH MY GOD.
I have been looking FAR AND AWAY for this episode since I first saw it at age 5. You have made a grown-up girl's night. THANK YOU!
I want to add my thanks to those already posted - I've been thinking about this episode my whole life and I thought I might never see it again. THANK YOU!! :D This is so great. It really scared me as a very small child, too! XD
Thank you thank you thank you for putting this up! I've been looking for it for a good 15 years off and on ever since my Long Ago... tape broke!
i didn't know anyone else actually watched this show. it is such a integral part of my childhood and family memories, and its neat to see that was the case for so many other people too. "fool of the world and the flying ship" is my family's favorite, i can't even remember not knowing that story.
Wow I almost forgot about this show. I loved it as a kid. I'd Love to see "As Long As He Can Count the Cows" or "the silver cornet". Those were my favorite episodes. Thanks for downloading this one :)
Just another person thanking you for putting this up! I wish Long Ago & Far Away was available on DVD.
I cannot thank you enough for posting this, althor12! You rock!
this show was amazing. simply amazing.
I used to watch this show as kid when it first premierd...and this is how I got to know James Earl Jones
I wish I could see the circus episodes.Those two were my favorites.
He pronounced it "savatohor" lol. It's "Svyatogor" m8
Also someone linked this video to the wikipedia and it didn't get revoked, so well done.
james Earl Jones is simply magic!!!! Why don't they bring this show back!
Quality and inventiveness of this caliber would never be entertained in this era of "reality" tv. Which, in all honesty, is popular because its profitable - cheap and fast to make. Fuck consumer culture.
my god this show was beautiful!!!! I hope it will be on dvd someday!
Sooooo Gooooood. If you have more of these around, please post them. WGBH has the series in it's archives, but, as far as I'm aware, has no plans to re-release them. Been looking for these for ages. Thanks!
That is one of the episodes my family taped on cassette. I still think about it a lot. If I find it, I'll do what I can to put it up!
I wonder if James Earl Jones was chosen to host this show because of his role in "Field of Dreams".
i also remember one about a circus...and the way to the circus was something to do with a subway.....
me too, only (retrospectively speaking) I wish the opening sequence had clips from Silver Cornet, or "As Long as He Can Count the Cows" or Frog/Toad, or Bill och Bolla (Bill and Bunny)
Great I know the intro by heart.
Thank you!
DUDE! you own all for putting this up! do you have any more episodes? i have a couple and am more than willing to trade!
"If you listen closely, you can hear the voice of the centuries."
And if we can't hear the voice of the centuries, Mr. Jones reading the phone book will make for an equally epic substitution.
My favourite story was "The Silver Cornet"
Bill and Bunny wasa good one, though sad. I did not know what autism was
@memoriesoftv those two were my favourites too!
The only episode I remember was about some little boy's dream world or something.... and these puffy dream pink and baby blue dream people had to go into the real world to do some mission but only had so much time to do it...
Get 'Silver Cornet' too
hearing Darth Vader is nice.
Sorry for the shameless plug, but check out my videos for more of the Long Ago and Far Away collection!
Hey isn't James Earl Jones the voice of Mufasa from the Lion King movie? He does sound like him.

Check out that guys channel. He has a lot of Long Ago And Far Away segments, but none of the other circus segments besides that one.
I thought you had much more on here.I might be wrong.
Can you find this online? I can only find it in Russian. And @Zsolt the book is good, too.
Such a travesty what the kids of today miss out on!!

There's a scene in the intro music in which two little mice can be seen (a boy and a girl mouse). What's the title of that film in which they are? A long ago i saw this cartoon but i cannot remember its title. But i know that in that cartoon the boy mouse gets on an island.
Able's Island
Does anyone have the full intro of this show, including the instrument part where a woman talks of special grants and sponsors?
where can I get this Intro music from
Russian peasants really love sunflower seeds... xD
Because they symbolise The Sun in Slavic mythology
What was the episode that you deleted?
huh? im confused. i didnt delete anything.
ditto
That does not help me LOL
'cause some public TV dimwits (Steven Keaton-like moguls) though Barney was a better show.
