The Scarlet Flower (Russian: Аленький цветочек) is a 1952 Soviet feature animated film directed by Lev Atamanov. It was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow and is based on the story of the same name by Sergei Aksakov.
A merchant father, after a successful overseas trip, retrieves a beautiful scarlet flower for his daughter Nastenka. However, a monster on an island demands one of his daughters in exchange for the flower. The father refuses and is given a magic ring to return to the island if his daughter doesn't come willingly. Nastenka overhears, puts on the ring, and goes to the island.
There, she's initially scared of the monster but eventually sees his kindness. She's allowed to visit her family, but her jealous sisters turn back the clocks, making her return late. The monster is near death, and Nastenka promises never to leave him again. Her words restore the flower and transform the monster into a handsome prince, who explains he was under a spell and needed to win a lady's heart as a monster to break it.
