Roles are reversed in this colorful adaptationof the Russian folk tale. Queen Natasha is tired and wants to turn over thethrone to one of her three sons. But which one? Each of them has some, but notall, of the qualities needed to be a good king, and the queen reveals that thedifference between a good king and a great king is the woman behind the throne.So she sends her sons off to find wives, using an arrow to guide them. Theyoungest son Sasha’s arrow pierces Natalia ... a frog! Though the ladies andgentlemen of the kingdom laugh, Sasha proceeds with the marriage to fulfill hisduty.
