Funny / Bartok the Magnificent

Go To

  • The royal guards confront Bartok and ask if that's who he is. Bartok, thinking they're here to arrest him for the ring Ivan gave him, denies that he's the bat they're looking for and poorly crosses out the "A" in the Bartok sign to read Bertok. The guards don't buy it for an instant.
  • Baba Yaga and Bartok’s banter is overall really funny due to both having zero patience for each other. Baba Yaga is disgusted with Bartok’s fast talking and constantly threatens and belittles him, meanwhile Bartok starts out terrified of Baba Yaga, but her habit of speaking vaguely grates on Bartok’s nerves enough to where his frustration overrides his fear and he starts to get passive-aggressive with her.
  • Bartok expressing repeated disgust of the strange soup (actually a potion) Baba Yaga is making, especially after she throws a gem into it.
  • Bartok trying to get Piloff off the iron boulder. The poor bat is subjected to to a lot of physical slapstick, meanwhile Piloff finds everything endlessly amusing. Eventually Bartok gives up on removing Piloff from the boulder and resorts to launching the entire structure across the forest.
  • Ludmilla's villain song constantly teeters between being disturbing and really funny, pulling out a lot of Black Comedy as Ludmilla tortures a bunch of prisoners, all of whom join in on the song and don't seem at all bothered by their predicament. Then there is Ludmilla's infamous transformation, where pieces of her get bigger at a time. The most remembered part is where Ludmilla gets a huge rack.
    Ludmilla: I can feel all my inhibitions molting! (Her breasts suddenly grow huge with a comedic boing sound effect)
    Prisoners: More than just the peasants are revolting. (Ludmilla's hips grow colossal with a similar boing sound)
  • Knowing something is up in Moscow, Zozi wants to accompany Bartok to the castle to keep him safe. Bartok is adamant against this given earlier in the movie Zozi faked his death, the bear is undaunted though and tries to come up with a disguise... His first attempt is a table with a big purple cabbage on it. His deadpan answer to Bartok's confused question on what the heck he is supposed to makes it even better. His second disguise is a peasant woman, which basically amounts to an elaborate dress with a hood and a tambourine. You can easily see Zozi's mustached bear face and clawed feet... Yet the disguise works perfectly.
