A Wilful Princess (1969)
A Wilful Princess (1969)
Overview
A Wilful Princess is a 20-minute Soviet animated fairy tale from 1969, directed by the Brumberg sisters, in which a capricious princess mocks her suitors until her father punishes her by marrying her off to a beggar, who turns out to be one of the rejected princes in disguise. The story follows a classic folk tale arc: female defiance is framed as a character flaw, royal authority goes unchallenged, and marriage to a man of good standing is the resolution. There are no modern social themes, no religious framing, and no political angles. The label Leans Traditional fits cleanly. The film is a straightforward product of its genre, era, and source material.
