Wolf and Calf

One day, the Wolf stole the newborn Calf and brought him home to eat, but regretted it and decided not to eat it, but wait until he grows up. The Wolf becomes attached to the Calf, takes care of him, feeds milk, sings lullabies, reads books. For the sake of the Calf, the Wolf keeps cleanliness - "children - they can not grow in the mud." And the Wild Boar, which smokes a cigarette, the Wolf literally drives a rag. Gradually, the Wolf and the Calf are so used to each other that they began to live like a father and son.

Directed by Mikhail Kamenetskiy, Wolf and Calf leans on a strong ensemble — Vsevolod Larionov, Oleg Tabakov, Vladimir Vinokur — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1984.
