Overview

Animated adaptation of a Ukrainian folk tale. Forest thieves — a bear cub, a hare, and a fox — keep sneaking onto a grandfather’s homestead, causing trouble for him and his granddaughter. To teach the little bandits a lesson, the grandfather builds a straw bull and covers its sides with tar. He sets the bull out on a clearing. The curious thieves gather around the strange creature, and one by one get stuck to its sticky, tar-covered sides…
