1	''The Scarlet Flower'' (Russian: Аленький цветочек) is a 1952 animated adaptation of [[Literature/TheScarletFlower Sergey Aksakov's fairytale of the same name]].
2
3	!! Tropes featured in the adaptation:
4	* AdaptationalExplanationExtrication: In the fairytale, the enchantress cursed the prince because she had an unspecified grudge against his father. Here, her motive isn't explained.
5	* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the fairytale, the youngest daughter just asks for the most beautiful scarlet flower in the world, which sounds pretty demanding, to say the least. Here, she asks for such a flower because she saw one in a dream.
6	* AdaptedOut: The faithful maidservant of the merchant's daughter who lives with her at the Beast's palace is nowhere to be seen.
7	* BadPeopleAbuseAnimals: Right at the start, we are shown that Nastenka's elder sisters are the antagonists when one of them kicks a cat and the other laughs at that.
8	* {{Bambification}}: When Nastenka arrives in the Beast's realm, she is greeted by a family of friendly deer.
9	* BeastAndBeauty: It ''is'' based on the Russian TropeCodifier.
10	* DeathByAdaptation: The enchantress's fate in the original story isn't stated. Here, the prince explicitly says she is no more. It's ambiguous whether her death was connected to the curse getting broken.
11	* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Nastenka sees the scarlet flower in a dream, hence her asking for it.
12	* FadeToBlack: Frequently, a change of scene is preceded by the previous scene fading to black.
13	* FantasticFlora: The scarlet flower, like in the original story, replants itself after Nastenka brings it back to the Beast's gardens.
14	* GlowingFlora: The eponymous scarlet flower shines very bright, especially before it gets plucked.
15	* NamedByTheAdaptation: The nameless heroine from the story is called Nastenka here (a pet name form of Anastasia), her sisters are called Gordeya and Lyubava, and their father Stepan.
16	* ProudBeauty: Gordeya and Lyubava are very pretty and very vain.
17	* SayMyName: After Stepan is washed overboard, his shipmate desperately yells out his name.
