For the no russian people: Ekh, in russian, is a standart Sigh sound, like Oh, but eh, which expresses inner troubles, sadness, or tiredness. The main villain could be translated as Sigh or Huhh

at first I was like "screw this why am I watching this I don't understand a thing", but OMG I'm so glad I stayed, the ever-changing demon monster guy alone makes it all worth it
It’s definitely a very memorable & visually stunning film But it should br said that ek-ho(the evil wizard) is supposed to look like a türkish soldier, the Armenian symbol of evil
There is also in Greece the saying: "Do good and throw it in the water". It's like saying that God is watching and will do good to you even if the other person doesn't appreciate it.
I love how the reaction of the fisherman isn't stupefaction at a talking fish, but cynical skepticism at its promise to return on the fisherman's act of kindness. How much more Russian can a fucker get?
Soviet cartoons were simply on another level. It's insane just how quickly they can change its whole narrative and do a bizarre 180 on the story, because they simply didn't care about the western standards for a plot. It starts out as an old man letting a talking fish go and one second later it's about a bizarre phsychedellic eldritch wizard monster giving that man a magic table.
@@Artuuur_005 he was an Armenian by nationality, but a citizen of the USSR. According to your logic, then there is nothing American, it's all Poles, Jews, Germans and British who moved to America by nationality. The film was made with Soviet money. He was born there, lived and worked there.
The main story line is that when you do a good deed you shall throw it into water, which means to forget about and not expect anything in return, then and only then it will come back. Armenian people have a custom that if you miraculously escaped something horrible or if something really good happened to you, you should thank God by making a sacrifice, but what sacrifice a Christian God can accept? Only a mercy to your neighbour. So people prepare food and use salt that was blessed in the church and feed their neighbours in need, but the sacrifice would be accepted ONLY if they wouldn’t know who was the donor and only if the donor wouldn’t get anything in return. So people if you do a good deed as a thank you to God make sure that nobody but you and God know about it. Make a good did and throw it into water
A quick fact: the "Ekh" and "Echo" here is due to censorship. The original version of the tale had Devil instead. Because a fisherman would not just sadly sigh "Eh", he would angrily curse (in Russian language the most common swearing back then was "chort" that meant "a demon"). So a fisherman said something like "Ah, Devil!", and the Devil appeared. But since Chort was a word unsuitable for kids, it was replaced with Ekh.
ONCE UPON A TIME there was a poor man who worked for a fisherman, in return for a few fish a day. This was all he and his wife had to live on. One day the fisherman caught a very pretty little fish, and telling his help to put it away, waded back out into the river. As he turned it over in his hands, the man thought, “Poor little fish! After all, it’s a living creature too. It must have parents and friends, and it surely has its joys and its sorrows, like we humans do.” Suddenly the fish spoke to him, in a human voice, “See here, brother Man! I was playing with my companions so happy that I forgot to be careful and got caught in your net. Now my parents and my playmates are probably searching and grieving for me, and here I am, suffering and dying on land! I so want to go back into the river and live and grow in the cool, clear water. Please have pity, and throw me back into the water!” it gasped. The man pitied the little fish, and threw it back into the water. “All right, my pretty little fish, go along and play again-I don’t want your parents to grieve any more!” The fisherman was furious. “You fool,” he cried. “How could you let that fish get away? Begone with you, I don’t ever want to see you again. You can die of hunger for all I care. “What shall I do now?” lamented the poor man, as he trudged sadly homewards. He was walking along the road plunged in his unhappy thoughts, when suddenly he saw a Monster in human shape coming towards him. The Monster was driving a very fine cow before him. “Good day, brother,” said the Monster. “Why do you look so sad?” The man told him his story, and lamented that he didn’t know how he was going to earn a living or how he was going to break the news to his wife. “See here, my friend,” said the Monster. “You see this cow? I’ll let you have her for three years. She’ll give you a lot of good milk every day, and you and your wife will never go hungry. But only on this condition: when three years have passed, I will come and ask you some questions. If you can answer them, the cow will be yours. But if you can’t, then I’ll take both of you along with the cow, and do whatever I want with you. Do you accept?” The man thought a bit. “Better to take the cow than go hungry. We’ll be able to live for three years, and then we’ll see what happens. Perhaps we’ll be lucky, and be able to answer those questions. He accepted, took the cow and went home happily. The three years passed quickly. The cow gave enough milk to feed the poor man and his wife. Yet they would both sit at their door in the evenings, thinking that soon the Monster would come for them. They sighed and worried about it, while the fateful night came closer and closer. One evening, as they sat there, a very handsome youth came up to them. “Good evening,” he said. “I’m very tired, and it’s getting late. May I spend the night under your roof?” “Of course you may, only tonight something terrible is going to happen to us! We took a cow from a Monster, on the condition that if we used its milk for three years, he could come and ask us questions at the end of that time, which is tonight. If we answer those questions, then the cow is to be ours, but if we can’t, then we will become the Monster’s prisoners. So take care that no harm comes to you. “That doesn’t matter. Whatever happens to you, will happen to me too, said the youth, and stayed there with them. On the stroke of midnight there came a loud knocking at the door. “Who’s there?” “It’s me, the Monster! Three years have passed. Now answer my questions!” “We’ll never be able to answer them, wailed the poor man and his wife. But the youth said to them, “Don’t worry, I’ll answer for you,” and he went to the door. “I’m here, waiting,” growled the Monster outside. “And I’m here too,” the youth answered calmly from behind the door. “Where are you from?” “From over the Sea!” “How did you get here?” “Riding a lame flea!” “Then the Sea must have been very small?” “Not at all. Even an eagle couldn’t fly across it.” “Then that eagle must have been a fledgling?” “Not at all. The shadow of his wings covers a whole city!” “Then the city must be very small?” “Not at all. A hare couldn’t run from one end of it to the other!” “Then that hare must be a very small one?” “Not at all. Its hide would be large enough to make a fur coat for a grown-up man, and a warm cap as well.” “Then the man must be a dwarf?” “Not at all. If a cock were to crow at his feet, the sound of the cock’s crowing would not reach the man s ears, he is so tall!” “Then the man must be deaf?” “Not at all. He could hear a deer grazing on a blade of grass, far away in the mountains." The Monster was taken aback. He didn’t know what other questions to ask. He stood there silently at the door for some time, then disappeared into the darkness. The poor man and his wife were overjoyed. When dawn was breaking, the youth prepared to take his leave. “No, no, we can’t let you go,” cried the couple. You’ve saved our lives. Tell us what we can do to thank you. “You don’t have to thank me. Well, I must be on my way,” replied the youth. “Then at least tell us who you are,” begged the man. “Do you remember the proverb that says, ‘Do good, and even if you throw it into the water, it will return to you some day?’ I am that little talking fish that you pided and threw back into the river!” said the youth. And before the couple had time to recover from their amazement, he had vanished.

@@TheVictoryofGod_1 в природе не существует добра и зла, есть только сила. Рыбка - это сила во благо людей, помощник, Божий посланец (ангел). Дъявол (в оригинале он именно "Дъявол", чъе имя заменили на "Эх" для детей в мультике) - это деструктивная тёмная сила, которая использует человеческие пороки (жадность, гордыня) для достижения своих целей. РАЗНЦА - для Ангела (рыбка) человек и его благо это первостепенная, высшая цель!!! Для Дъявола (Эх) - человек это средство достижения собственных целей и задач. Добро заставляет делать людей хорошие поступки - старик отпустил рыбу и ничего не попросил взамен. Зло - обнажает худшие качества человека, человек начинает думать желудком, а не головой. Добро побеждает зло при помощи РАЗУМА!!! Эта сказка аллегория на Категорический Императив Канта.

Yeah, I heard a variation of this story as a kid as well but way less trippy Edit: there TONS of fairly tales in Europe alone that have a magic fish & a poor/humble fisherman
Based on the story of the Armenian fable teller Tumanyan, who famously uses a lot of metaphor as a fable teller. There are a lot of Armenian cultural attributed in the cartoon, though the production is in Russian and was intended for the whole Soviet Union audience.
Yes, in the stories of the brothers grimm theres a tale about a man who catches a talking fish and throws it back; it later comes back to him to grant him wishes. He wishes at first for a bigger house, then his wife pressures him into wanting an even bigger house and being a lord, then having a castle and being a king, then living in the heavens and being God. Upon asking for the final wish, the fish reverses all of them and they go back to being a poor fisherman and his wife. I might be retelling it slightly off, just look up brothers Grimm fisherman story
Сегодня волшебно-июльское лето .. Сегодня волшебно-июльское лето! Привычное солнце ласкает село. Деревня наполнена сладостным светом. Тут всё плодоносит, что прежде цвело. Поют и молчат разнопёрые птицы. Травинки и листья везде шелестят. По руслам течёт молодая водица. За горкой из мела раскидистый сад. Мелькают пролёты седых паутинок. Великая Флора дарует шитьё. Повсюду сюжеты для ярких картинок. На вязаных струнах сухое бельё. Прозрачные лучики ласково сеют. Сельчане с животными в райском родстве. Избушка под шляпой соломенной млеет. Дома, как грибы на священной горе. Эдемские выпасы, рощи, луга. Пруды, облачка, озерца и речушки. А род человечий - их вечный слуга. Светло, хорошо, и я грею веснушки.

He was walking along the road plunged in his unhappy thoughts, when suddenly he saw a Monster in human shape coming towards him. The Monster was driving a very fine cow before him.
“Good day, brother,” said the Monster. “Why do you look so sad?”
The man told him his story, and lamented that he didn’t know how he was going to earn a living or how he was going to break the news to his wife.
“See here, my friend,” said the Monster. “You see this cow? I’ll let you have her for three years. She’ll give you a lot of good milk every day, and you and your wife will never go hungry. But only on this condition: when three years have passed, I will come and ask you some questions. If you can answer them, the cow will be yours. But if you can’t, then I’ll take both of you along with the cow, and do whatever I want with you. Do you accept?”
The man thought a bit. “Better to take the cow than go hungry. We’ll be able to live for three years, and then we’ll see what happens. Perhaps we’ll be lucky, and be able to answer those questions. He accepted, took the cow and went home happily.
The three years passed quickly. The cow gave enough milk to feed the poor man and his wife.

One evening, as they sat there, a very handsome youth came up to them.
“Good evening,” he said. “I’m very tired, and it’s getting late. May I spend the night under your roof?”
“Of course you may, only tonight something terrible is going to happen to us! We took a cow from a Monster, on the condition that if we used its milk for three years, he could come and ask us questions at the end of that time, which is tonight. If we answer those questions, then the cow is to be ours, but if we can’t, then we will become the Monster’s prisoners. So take care that no harm comes to you.
“That doesn’t matter. Whatever happens to you, will happen to me too, said the youth, and stayed there with them.
On the stroke of midnight there came a loud knocking at the door.
“Who’s there?”
“It’s me, the Monster! Three years have passed. Now answer my questions!”
“We’ll never be able to answer them, wailed the poor man and his wife.
But the youth said to them, “Don’t worry, I’ll answer for you,” and he went to the door.
“I’m here, waiting,” growled the Monster outside.
“And I’m here too,” the youth answered calmly from behind the door.
“Where are you from?”
“From over the Sea!”
“How did you get here?”
“Riding a lame flea!”
“Then the Sea must have been very small?”
“Not at all. Even an eagle couldn’t fly across it.”
“Then that eagle must have been a fledgling?”
“Not at all. The shadow of his wings covers a whole city!”
“Then the city must be very small?”
“Not at all. A hare couldn’t run from one end of it to the other!”
“Then that hare must be a very small one?”
“Not at all. Its hide would be large enough to make a fur coat for a grown-up man, and a warm cap as well.”
“Then the man must be a dwarf?”
“Not at all. If a cock were to crow at his feet, the sound of the cock’s crowing would not reach the man s ears, he is so tall!”
“Then the man must be deaf?”
“Not at all. He could hear a deer grazing on a blade of grass, far away in the mountains."
The Monster was taken aback. He didn’t know what other questions to ask. He stood there silently at the door for some time, then disappeared into the darkness.
The poor man and his wife were overjoyed.
When dawn was breaking, the youth prepared to take his leave.
“No, no, we can’t let you go,” cried the couple. You’ve saved our lives. Tell us what we can do to thank you.
“You don’t have to thank me. Well, I must be on my way,” replied the youth.
“Then at least tell us who you are,” begged the man. “Do you remember the proverb that says, ‘Do good, and even if you throw it into the water, it will return to you some day?’ I am that little talking fish that you pided and threw back into the river!” said the youth. And before the couple had time to recover from their amazement, he had vanished.
Thank you,! Never knew this fact.

Cómo se llama la serie?
Помню в детстве посмотрел его и не мог заснуть, так сильно в голове отпечатался Э-э-эх

Не знаю что курили армянские мультипликаторы, но мне до сих пор нравится "Ээх". Ещё есть такой мультик, который называется "Три синих-синих озера малинового цвета". Дичь ещё та, но прикольно!
У "Трёх озёр" тот же режиссёр.
Qué dicha tener un recuerdo de esa manera
Добрый Э-э-эх
Посмотрел, встал из-за стола, подошёл к окну, закурил... Много думал... Плакал...

Художники круче чем сегодняшний ИИ переплюнули все возможные образы в доли секунды .Но это понять может настоящий мозг человека. Да подсуньте этот мульт для учения ИИ. Вот хохма будет результат.
успокойтесь вы с вашим ии, и сделайте что-то оригинальное уже, САМИ
Этот мультик с большим, глубоким смыслом,борьба добра и зла, в конечном итоге зло было побеждено, делай добро, оно не пропадёт, добром к тебе вернется!
Сделайте добро, бахните пару казарм на России, что бы чмобики не ехали в Украину
Да только образ этого морского чудища напоминает облик сатаны в разных сущностях
Мало кто понял, что рыбка и волшебник Эх, это одно и то же существо.
@@TheVictoryofGod_1 в природе не существует добра и зла, есть только сила. Рыбка - это сила во благо людей, помощник, Божий посланец (ангел). Дъявол (в оригинале он именно "Дъявол", чъе имя заменили на "Эх" для детей в мультике) - это деструктивная тёмная сила, которая использует человеческие пороки (жадность, гордыня) для достижения своих целей.
РАЗНЦА - для Ангела (рыбка) человек и его благо это первостепенная, высшая цель!!! Для Дъявола (Эх) - человек это средство достижения собственных целей и задач. Добро заставляет делать людей хорошие поступки - старик отпустил рыбу и ничего не попросил взамен. Зло - обнажает худшие качества человека, человек начинает думать желудком, а не головой. Добро побеждает зло при помощи РАЗУМА!!!
Эта сказка аллегория на Категорический Императив Канта. Я боюсь даже представить себе - как же сильно вас зазомбировали, если вы не видите разницы между добром и злом 😳
@@TheVictoryofGod_1 почему?
- Кто там?
- Это я, добpый Э-Эх. Я здесь.
- И я здесь!
- А ты кто такой? Откyда взялся?
- С того беpега моpя.
- Hа чем пpиехал?
- Оседлал хpомyю блохy, сел и пpиехал.
- Моpе что - лyжа?
- Может, и лyжа, да только тy лyжy оpел не пеpелетел.
- Значит, оpел - птенец?
- Hавеpное, птенец. Hо тень от его кpыльев гоpод закpывает, в гоpоде ночь настает.
- Гоpод, небось - кpо-охотный?
- Чеpез тот гоpод заяц бежал - не пеpебежал.
- Выходит, заяц - ма-аленький?
- Заяц как заяц. Из его шкypы тyлyп вышел.
- Кyда вышел?
- Вышел из того гоpода, где заяц бежал, на котоpый тень от оpла yпала, и пошел, кyда глаза глядят.
- Чьи глаза?
- Глаза того тyлyпа, котоpый из шкypы зайца вышел в гоpоде, где ночь настает, когда над ним птенец пpолетает веpхом на хpомой блохе.
- Чего-о?!
- Чего-чего. Hа хpомой блохе с того беpега моpя, котоpое зайцy не пеpелететь, оpлy не пеpебежать, хоть моpе - не моpе, а так, лyжа посpеди гоpода, где тень от блохи на зайца yпала и насмеpть yбила, а из шкypы зайца тyлyп вышел и пошел, кyда глаза глядят. Тyт заяц ка-а-ак пpыгнет!
- Какой заяц!???

I hadn't noticed, she rides a broom, is she a witch?
Как здорово мультипликаторы придумали с этим Эхом. Такая бурная фантазия и красиво, свежо, нешаблонно получилось.
А персонаж в общем не очень-то и оригинальный. Это дэв - мифическое существо, традиционный злодей в армянских сказках (близкий "родственник" персидского дива).

Так вот из какого мультика этот запутанный отрывок кто от кого и откуда бежал 😂. Анимация, как и звуковое сопровождение с озвучкой, отличная.
Спросить куда тулуп вышел, для Ээха было большой ошибкой))
Now that's a proper folk tale superbly animated 🎉
Urss animation is the best thing ever , in college my animation teacher shows a tons of animation from the soviet union, damn thwy were crazy and tripping back then , omg the high level of art in every photogram , they were genius, I love the way ekh used the adidas set sweatpants and jacket in red color, like every russian baddie

interesting to finally see it with subtitles, but as a visual piece its still amazing.

Любимый мультик моего сына в Италии 😊. Он как его увидел - офигел просто! Смотрел раз 5 подряд, пока наизусть не выучил😅 И чуть что теперь - цитирует 😊
Редчайший случай,когда умение заговаривать используется не для мошенничества,а для добра.
I like how it captures the concept of Ekh being a higher being seen through the limited senses of a human
Только сейчас заметил, что одежда у Ээха, когда он ночью пришёл, как у турка. Мультик сделан в Советской Армении, видимо, связано как-то с этим.
Animation quality and attention to the details are excellent. Thanks for the upload 🎉

This was based off an old fable, right? This story seems familiar from my distant childhood.
Yeah, I heard a variation of this story as a kid as well but way less trippy
Edit: there TONS of fairly tales in Europe alone that have a magic fish & a poor/humble fisherman
Not too old. This is based on Tumanyan's "The talking fish", written in 1908
Based on the story of the Armenian fable teller Tumanyan, who famously uses a lot of metaphor as a fable teller. There are a lot of Armenian cultural attributed in the cartoon, though the production is in Russian and was intended for the whole Soviet Union audience.
Yes, in the stories of the brothers grimm theres a tale about a man who catches a talking fish and throws it back; it later comes back to him to grant him wishes. He wishes at first for a bigger house, then his wife pressures him into wanting an even bigger house and being a lord, then having a castle and being a king, then living in the heavens and being God. Upon asking for the final wish, the fish reverses all of them and they go back to being a poor fisherman and his wife. I might be retelling it slightly off, just look up brothers Grimm fisherman story

Сегодня волшебно-июльское лето!
Привычное солнце ласкает село.
Деревня наполнена сладостным светом.
Тут всё плодоносит, что прежде цвело.
Поют и молчат разнопёрые птицы.
Травинки и листья везде шелестят.
По руслам течёт молодая водица.
За горкой из мела раскидистый сад.
Мелькают пролёты седых паутинок.
Великая Флора дарует шитьё.
Повсюду сюжеты для ярких картинок.
На вязаных струнах сухое бельё.
Прозрачные лучики ласково сеют.
Сельчане с животными в райском родстве.
Избушка под шляпой соломенной млеет.
Дома, как грибы на священной горе.
Эдемские выпасы, рощи, луга.
Пруды, облачка, озерца и речушки.
А род человечий - их вечный слуга.
Светло, хорошо, и я грею веснушки.
