On the bank of a tranquil English river, a girl named Alice gets tired of her older sister's retelling of the history of William I of England. When her sister chastises Alice's daydreaming, Alice tells her cat Dinah that she would prefer to live in a nonsenscial dreamland called Wonderland. Alice and Dinah spot a waistcoat-wearing White Rabbit passing by, and Alice gives chase as he rushes off claiming to be late for an unknown event. Alice follows him into a rabbit hole and falls into a labyrinth. Her dress balloons out and she begins to float. She sees the White Rabbit disappear into a tiny door and tries to follow, but the door's talking knob advises her to alter her size using a mysterious drink and food. Alice eventually manages to shrink and passes through the door's keyhole and into Wonderland. She meets several strange characters including the Dodo and Tweedledee and Tweedledum who recount the tale of "The Walrus and the Carpenter."
Alice eventually finds the White Rabbit in his house, but before she can ask what he is late for, she is sent to fetch some gloves. She eats a cake and grows into a giant again, getting stuck in the rabbit's house. The White Rabbit, the Dodo, and chimney sweep Bill the Lizard believe Alice to be a monster and plot to burn the house down. Alice escapes by eating a carrot and shrinking down to the size of an insect. She meets and sings with some talking flowers, but they chase her away upon accusing her of being a weed. Alice is then instructed by the hookah-smoking Caterpillar to eat a part of his mushroom grow back to her original size. Alice decides to keep the remaining pieces of the mushroom on hand.
Alice meets the Cheshire Cat who advises her to visit the Mad Hatter, March Hare and the Dormouse. The three are hosting a mad tea party and celebrate Alice's "unbirthday", a day where it is not her birthday. The White Rabbit appears, but the March Hare and Mad Hatter destroy his pocketwatch and throw him out of the party. Alice gives up on her pursuit of the White Rabbit and decides to go home, but gets lost in the Tulgey Wood. The Cheshire Cat appears and leads Alice into a giant hedge maze ruled by the tyrannical Queen of Hearts and her smaller husband, the King of Hearts. The Queen executes anyone who enrages her, and invites Alice in a bizarre croquet match using flamingoes and hedgehogs as the equipment.
The Cheshire Cat appears again and pulls a trick on the Queen which she accuses Alice of doing, and Alice is put on trial. However, she eats the remains of the Caterpillar's mushroom and grows to an enormous height which the King claims is forbidden in court. Tired of Wonderland, Alice openly insults the Queen until she shrinks to her normal size and is forced to flee after the Queen orders her execution. Alice becomes pursued by most of Wonderland's characters until she finally reunites with the Doorknob. The Doorknob tells her she is having a dream, forcing Alice to wake herself up. The film ends as Alice and her sister head home for tea.

Why was Merlin glad to see Arthur king of England?
A long time ago in England a good king died without leaving an heir to the throne. The knights couldn’t decide who would be the king and were at war with each other. Only a miracle could save the country and it appeared in London – the Sword in the Stone. On it was written, “Who pulls out this sword of the stone, is the right wise king of England”. For many years a lot of knights tried to do it but failed. By and by everybody forgot about the Sword in the Stone.
In one of the castled of England there lived Sir Hector, his son Key and his adopted son Arthur whom everybody called the Ward. Arthur was an orphan and could only dream of becoming Key’s squire. But the great wizard Merlin knew that a bright future was awaiting Arthur so he decided to be his tutor because he wanted him to be a well-educated intelligent ruler. Merlin did his best to develop Arthur’s brain, to enlarge his knowledge, to make him think and solve problems when he was on his own in an unknown situation. For the purpose he turned him into a fish, a squirrel, a bird whose lives were full of dangerous problems. Arthur solved the problems because he had great spark, lots of spirit and he put his heart and soul into everything he did.
Then came the day of the Tournament to the winner of which would go the Crown of England. Key was to take part in it and Arthur was his squire. Unfortunately he forgot Key’s sword and couldn’t find another sword anywhere except in the churchyard. He pulled out the sword and brought it to Key. When Sir Hector read the inscription, neither he nor the other knights could believe it. But no matter how hard the other knights tried to pull out the sword of the stone, they failed. So they proclaimed Arthur the King of England.
JUNGLE BOOK
WALT DISNEY, 1967
Interesting facts:
It was the last film observed by Walt Disney. He died during the production of this animated movie.
Walt Disney insisted on not reading the original book by R. Kipling while filming, because its main conception was dark and rather dramatic. That’s why there are so many mismatches with the original literary source.
Words and expressions:
The silence of the jungle was broken by an unfamiliar sound
This man cub would have to have nourishment and very soon
without his mother’s care he’d perish
a family of wolves was blessed by a litter of wolves
thanks to maternal instinct
to see how Mowgli was getting along
he would have to go back to his own kind
Are we all in agreement as to what must be done?
He’s entitled to the protection of the pack
Even the strength of the pack is no match for the tiger
the boy can’t survive alone in the jungle
You wouldn’t last one day
delicious man cub
There’s no use arguing
Just you wait till I get you in my coils
Don’t talk in the ranks! It’s against regulations
a dusty muzzle
Soldier, remember in battle that trunk can save your life. Take good care of it!
Let’s have a better spit and polish!
a new recruit
treason, sabotage
You have the word of Bahgeera
That does it! From now on you are on your own
Loosen up! Give me a big bear growl
Shiftless stupid jungle bum
After you’ve knocked your pupil senseless, how do you expect him to remember the lesson?
Right on the button!
I can’t stand the tickle
It’s just what he needs – more confidence
I give up
How about scratching that left shoulder?
Just try and relax
How about flicking a fly off your Papa Bear’s nose?
They ambushed me
Old king Louis can fix it for you
Have we got a deal?
I’ll lay it down for you
Don’t try to kid me!
It’ll take brains not brawn. – you’d better believe I’m loaded with both
While you create disturbance, I’ll rescue Mowgli
Mowgli seems to have the men’s ability to get into trouble
I’d like to have a word with you
What’s up, Bahgeera?
You can’t adopt Mowgli as your son
Birds of a feather flock together
What’s he got to do with him?
As long as he remains with you, he’s in danger
That’s going too far!
If anything happens to this little guy, I’ll never forgive myself
What beastly luck! Confound that ridiculous Colonel Hathi!
You help find the lost boy or I’ll take over giving orders
You don’t trust me
I can see to it that you’ll never leave the jungle
I thought you were entertaining someone in your coils
I’m searching for the man cub
He gives me the shivers
What’s coming our way?
Let’s have some fun with this little fellow!
I think we overdid it
He must be down on his luck
Leave me alone
Thank you for detaining my victim
You don’t scare me
You have spirit for one so small. And such spirit is deserving a sporting chance
You’re trying my patience
Greater love has no one than he who lays down his life for his friend
This part of the jungle where Baloo fell will always be the holy place
He’s cracking me up
There lies the noblest creature
She did it on purpose. – Obviously
He’s hooked
The boy couldn’t help himself
I still think Mowgli would’ve made one swell bear

Незнакомый звук нарушил тишину джунглей
Этого человеческого детёныша надо было кормить, и скоро
без материнской заботы он бы погиб
бог наградил волчью семью выводком волчат
благодаря материнскому инстинкту
посмотреть, как живёт Маугли
ему пришлось бы возвращаться к себе подобным
Мы все пришли к соглашению, что нужно делать?
Он имеет право на защиту стаи
Даже вся стая не может победить тигра
мальчик не может один выжить в джунглях
Ты бы и день не прожил в джунглях один
вкусный человеческий детёныш
Нет смысла спорить
Только подожди, пока не попадёшься ко мне в кольца
Не разговаривай в строю! Не положено по уставу
грязное дуло
Солдат, помни, в бою хобот может спасти тебе жизнь. Заботься о нём!
Давайте проведём тщательную чистку!
новобранец
измена, саботаж
Даю слово Багиры
Хватит! С сегодняшнего дня ты сам по себе
Расслабься! Зарычи, как большой медведь
Ленивый глупый бродяга джунглей
После того, как ты вышиб у своего ученика мозги, как ты можешь ожидать, что он запомнил урок?
Как раз в точку!
Я не выношу щекотки
Это как раз то, что ему нужно – побольше уверенности в себе
Я сдаюсь
Как насчёт того, чтобы почесать левое плечо?
Просто расслабься
Как насчёт того, чтобы смахнуть муху с носа папы-медведя?
Они устроили мне засаду
Старый король Луи может это устроить для тебя
Договорились?
Я изложу тебе условия нашего договора
Не пытайся меня обмануть!
Для выполнения этого дела нужны мозги, а не мускулы. – Можешь поверить, у меня полно и того, и другого
Ты отвлечёшь их внимание, а я спасу Маугли
Кажется, Маугли обладает человеческой способностью постоянно попадать в беду
Я бы хотела с тобой поговорить
В чём дело, Багира?
Ты не можешь усыновить Маугли
Свояк свояка видит издалека
А он какое к нему имеет отношение?
Пока он остаётся с тобой, он в опасности
Ты заходишь слишком далеко
Если что-нибудь случится этим маленьким парнишкой, я никогда себе этого не прощу
Чертовски не повезло! Будь проклят этот нелепый полковник Хати!
Ты поможешь найти потерявшегося мальчика, или командовать буду я
Ты не веришь мне
Я могу позаботиться о том, чтобы ты никогда не покинул джунглей
Я ищу человеческого детёныша
Он заставляет меня трепетать
Кто это к нам идёт?
Давайте немного повеселимся с этим маленьким парнишкой!
Кажется, мы переборщили
Должно быть, ему не везёт
Оставьте меня в покое
Спасибо, что задержали сою жертву
Я не боюсь тебя
Для такого маленького ты слишком смел. Ты заслуживаешь того, чтобы тебе дали шанс выжить
Ты испытываешь моё терпение
Никто не испытывает большую любовь, чем тот, кто отдаёт жизнь за друга
Эта часть джунглей, где погиб Балу, всегда будет священным местом
Он меня расхваливает
Здесь лежит благороднейшее создание
Она сделала это специально. – Несомненно
Он попался на крючок
Мальчик не мог поступить по-другому
А я всё-таки думаю, что из Маугли мог получиться замечательный медведь
