How was the cartoon "Well, wait!" (36 photos) Bashny.Net

They are familiar to us from the cradle. The first - disheveled man with the guitar behind his back, in kleshenyh pants and untucked shirt, talking slowly, smoking a cigarette and enjoy life unencumbered duties. Asocial subject. The second - a small but cunning, all his life and makes that runs from the first and fouling him on the sly. Wolf and Hare. Best animated duo in the history of "Soyuzmultfilm»

Initially, "Well, wait!" Was ordered by the state - officials have decided to give an adequate response to Disney cartoons and isolated solid at the time the budget



In the studio "Soyuzmultfilm" invited the young, popular, and fairly well-known humorists of Courland, Hythe, Kamov and the Assumption and was asked to do something funny. Kurland with Haytham invented the story. We decided that it should be a film-pursuit. We choose who for whom chasing, touched different characters: first thought to take the fox and the cock, then - the fox and the hare, and finally settled on the wolf and the hare as the most familiar to our folklore characters. His invention, in their view, was the fact that Wolf - duroshlep not a Disney villain and character, he often falls into a pit, and digged another. Videotryuki helped invent the first Kamov, but then there were only Courland with Hite.




The history of the cartoon began even before the establishment of the first, familiar to anyone release. In 1969, director Gennady Sokolsky was filmed the first series, the main idea which was the basis of the famous series.


But his images of Wolf and the Hare censored. It was recommended to radically change the image of the characters elevate them - thought leadership, Wolf and Hare is too evil, and Soviet children need good heroes. In remaking the artist did not go further and refused to work. Later changed graphics, humor, age and appearance of the characters, however, the main idea was the same.

After Sokolsky many directors rejected the seemingly simple-venture, said: "What is this ?! What's the idea here ?! This finely! ". And Vyacheslav Kotenochkin said: "This is something there!».


"Hare I immediately turned, - said V. Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin - with blue eyes, pink cheeks, generally very positive.


But Wolf did not work for a long time. Then on the street, I saw a guy leaning against the wall of the house. He had long black hair, thick lips stuck to the cigarette fell belly, and I realized what this was supposed to Wolf »


Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin wanted Wolf sounded Vysotsky did sample his voice hoarse. Vysotsky came to business with enthusiasm, even wrote a song for the Wolf. But here intervened censorship - the bard was banned.


Approved incomparable Anatoly Papanova.


As hello Wysocki in the first series of wolf whistles the melody of the song "Vertical" ("If a friend was suddenly ...") - when climbing on a rope to the Hare.


On the role of the Hare without trial took Klara Rumyanova


And already at the show the first series of cartoon tore ovation. Since 1969 every year appears on the screen a new series. The series is firmly joined the epithet "popular". Several times Kotenochkin was ready to say goodbye to the Wolf and the Hare and put an end to the work on the cartoon, but inferior to the numerous requests of the audience.

"Well, wait!" - The story of everyday life, ordinary 70s. That everyday life, which is not documented in official sources and stored only in the memory of the country. Instead of a cartoon about "what is good and what is bad," have turned Kotenochkin socially adapted cartoon-era openly ironic and rebellious.

On the screen - a clear recognizable types. Wolf-peteushniki and now you can meet in the evening in a residential area.

The weakness of his - feigned. Small and modest growth complexion force him to be resourceful, but guided by an innate cunning, and he manages to provoke a wolf, and enough to make fun of him.

Once Rusakov, artist, standing in line for vodka, and before him one man said to the other: "The wolf - that's us, hard workers, and the hare - it is intellectual. As we may try to grab him, he always gets out ».

And things are moving in the background of the Soviet way of life. Around - the atmosphere of "cultural activities" citizens. Aesop animals of "Well, wait!" Fun in the amusement park ...


... Go to the circus ...


... And the museum ...


... Boat ride ...


... Attend pop concerts ...


... And do sports


Living the most that neither is an ordinary life. So after ten series Hare moved into a cozy one-bedroom apartment


Wolf mired in his bachelor lair with peeled wallpaper on the walls


And around - cityscape - five-storey Khrushchev.


In short, the cartoon was very "own" and understandable to every inhabitant of the country. His "folk" from the first series needs no proof

I have been looking for a phrase that not only would be consistent with the story, but would give the audience hope for continuation. They discussed different options, "Well, wait!" "Well, wait!" ... But the point in this dispute put Felix Kamov, saying, "Well, wait a minute!»
When one of the writers - Felix Kamov - went to Israel, which was tantamount to treason, the authorities to be safe and "Well, wait!" Covered. After a while Papanova in the Kremlin presents awards. The then chairman of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet Nikolai Podgorny asked him, how are things with, "Well, wait a minute!". "They have a studio conflict. Someone left it abroad ", - said Papanov. "Well, somebody has to stay! - Said Podgorny, and added: - By the way, I love this cartoon, and my children and comrades, too. " Returning to the studio, Papanov told this dialogue, and soon the cartoon again started up.

Yuri Butyrin took as public service announcements, "window", "crane", "Spring", "elevator", "Bath" (all - 1986) with the same characters, and in 1987 was shot at least nine public service announcements featuring Wolf and the Hare. Alexander Fedulov shot: "I do not know the code ..." "Spite hare", "Restless Night" and "Heat." Vadim Medzhibovsky removed: "Let there be light", "power", "recipe", "Word and Deed" and "Before leaving, extinguish the light."
