The Return of the Prodigal Parrot is a summary for the reader. Return of the Prodigal Parrot: Betrayal and Reeducation
The prodigal parrot Kesha is a special hero. Just like the Wolf from “Well, wait a minute!”, And “a man in the prime of life” Carlson, he has an absurd, and sometimes, frankly, disgusting character. Kesha is an independent, irresponsible and selfish bird to the limit. In a word, the hero is what you need.
The well-known and loved by the audience parrot was invented by the writer Alexander Kurlyandsky, who is also the author of the series “Well, wait a minute”, a living classic of animation. The graphic design of Kesha is due to the animator Anatoly Savchenko, from whose pen Carlson, who lives on the roof, also came out.
The director was Valentin Karavaev, who started the animated series Return of the Prodigal Parrot. It is to Karavaev that Kesha owes much to the popularity that has fallen on him. The second series of the epic about the adventures of Kesha was filmed by Alexander Davydov. For nothing, that it was she who won Nika: Kurlyandsky argued with the director to the point of hoarseness, mentioning in an interview that he would probably never have such human relations as he had with Valentin Karavaev.
Over the course of three episodes, Kesha either runs away from his friend Vovka, or, overcoming obstacles and enduring hardship, returns to his home. The parrot dreams of travels and adventures, howling at the sirens, watching action-packed detective stories and dreaming of becoming a hero. What is this care of the faithful and boring Vovka to him! There, outside the window, is a real world full of undiscovered treasures and imperfect feats.
The history of literature is full of reports of attempts to get rid of the annoying presence in the lives of the heroes of the so-called "relatives". The story of Kesha's parrot is just one of those. All these adventures and cravings for detectives are actually a convenient excuse for liberation from a controlling and all-seeing society. Kesha can be safely accused of self-centeredness and hypertrophied craving for independence. In short, he does whatever he wants.
Not surprisingly, The Return of the Prodigal Parrot is much more appreciated by adults than by children. All my conscious childhood I hated Kesha. despised. Neither the brilliant idea of the author, nor the amusing misadventures could bring this disgusting parrot closer to me. The amazing expressions put into the mouth of Kesha by the unique Gennady Khazanov were not heard to the end. At the sight of the company of the main character - a fat cat in jeans with suspenders and a crow in beads - the cartoon was instantly replaced by some other program. Kesha is a hero with character. And so it happened that the main audience of the cartoon is the parents who are thrilled with delight in front of the TV screens.
The author of The Return of the Prodigal Parrot does not forget his offspring. Kurlyandsky admits: “Children have certainly changed. In the age of computers, a colossal amount of information falls upon them. But I do not notice significant differences between generations. A child is like a musical instrument: how you tune it is how it plays. Nowadays, the animated series has received a second life, just in the name of today's children. Last year, the parrot Innokenty became the hero of a computer game - the quest "Free the parrots!". The protagonist of the animated series did not lose his cool temper and, having collected a suitcase, went to rescue parrots in Brazil.
But that is not all. Alexander Kurlyandsky came up with a developing textbook for elementary school students. It was a shame for the writer that in foreign textbooks, the heroes of the Disney cartoons fuel interest in learning. Why are our Hare, Wolf and prodigal parrot Kesha worse than Mickey Mouse? Through the efforts of Kurlyandsky, the attention of schoolchildren in the new textbook is kept by familiar characters and a twisted plot that makes them read the book to the end. Now, together with the Lomonosov School, the author plans to create a whole series of 22 books on all basic subjects from the first to the seventh grade. From now on, Kesha is immortalized in history and plays an important social role - he actively participates in the educational process, no more, no less.

"Return of the Prodigal Parrot"
Trilogy
Return I
The popular eighties animated trilogy Return of the Prodigal Parrot features funny stories about a wayward parrot named Kesha.
The first part, created at the dawn of perestroika in 1984, made a splash. Soviet animation has not yet known such cartoons - comedic, multifaceted, with an actual parodic socio-political note: a capricious parrot, a fugitive and a returnee.
Formally aimed at a children's audience, The Return was wildly popular with the older generation. The cartoon was taken apart for quotes. The notorious animation "for adults" - drawn "Wicks", denouncing drunkenness, then parasitism - faded next to "Return of the Prodigal Parrot". The labor morality that set the teeth on edge lost out to the subtext, the existence of which the creators hardly guessed - director Valentin Alexandrovich Karavaev and screenwriter Alexander Efimovich Kurlyandsky.
But why didn't you think of it? If Karavaev and Kurlyandsky had limited themselves to one issue of The Return, then one could speak of unintentional luck and stray subtext. But over the course of several years, two more parts were created by these same people, so consistent and deep that it is not necessary to speak of “accidents”.
Kurlyandsky and Karavaev certainly understood how close the little capricious parrot was to the Soviet audience, how recognizable it was. After all, it was the image, harmoniously voiced by Gennady Khazanov, and the dramaturgy that ensured the success of the cartoon, and not the hackneyed visual technique (the boy Vovka, the owner of Kesha's parrot, is like two drops like the Kid from Carlson).
Yuri Norshtein was an innovator, back in 1975 he released the philosophical "Hedgehog in the Fog". Karavaev and Kurlyandsky were able to rise to the level of ideology.
By 1984, the censorship apparatus of the Soviet Union was already weakened, but not so much as to overlook how ambiguous The Return was. But the fact of the matter is that this second meaning suited the official ideology. The cartoon wittily branded the eternal fifth column - the dissident community and its national flavor.
Therefore, the clearly provocative title "Return of the Prodigal ..." was left. The parodic context immediately began to work on the "image".
From the first glance at Kesha, it became clear that the nationality of the parrot was "biblical": the eastern type - that's what the "parrot" is for, round bulging eyes, a Semitic nose-beak. Parrots are known to be long-lived. Kesha was supposed to be perceived as Ahasuerus, a kind of eternal Parrot.
Kesha's speech is a media "organ", a brainless warehouse of television and radio quotes for all occasions. Kesha is dominated not by the mind, but by the temper. And pretty bad. The cartoon shows in every possible way that the owner of Kesha - the boy Vovka (read, power) - does not have a soul in a parrot (Jew), and Kesha is always dissatisfied with everything.
The first "flight" of the parrot parodies the so-called "internal emigration". The plot develops as follows: Vovka refuses Kesha to take "spiritual food" - the parrot watches a crime drama on TV - something like "Petrovka, 38", with chases and shooting.
The boy Vovka does not watch an empty film, but diligently does his homework. And he asks the parrot to make the sound quieter. The parrot perceives these requests as an infringement of its rights and freedoms. The switched off TV puts an end to the relationship between Vovka and Kesha. The parrot jumps from the balcony. This blatant simulation of suicide is meant to highlight the gap. Vovka personifies the state and power, with which Kesha can no longer have any relationship. He kind of died for them.
At first, the clownish flight scares Kesha. He understands that he was Vovka's favorite. In fact, his act is nothing more than hysterical acting. But it's impossible to return home. Kesha is lost and cannot find his window.
The dissident parrot is saved by the public, the inhabitants of the yard: a fat cat, a crow, sparrows. Kesha "acts" - reproduces all the verbal garbage that has settled in his head after listening to "voices". This is ridiculous, inside-out information that amuses both the cat and the crow.
“I’m flying to Tahiti somehow ... Have you been to Tahiti?” - this is how Kesha begins his speeches. "Tahiti" should sound like "the promised land" - the historical homeland of Keshi, an exotic place.

Parrot Kesha
The main character of the cartoon.
Egocentric, requiring increased attention, capricious and wayward. In all habits and external color, it most of all resembles a parrot of the macaw family.
The plumage is bright. Raspberry head. There are large white circles around the eyes. Lush green tuft. On the neck is a white "collar", resembling a jabot. The wings are green at the base, with a purple stripe. Pink feathers at the ends in many cases serve as fingers. The body is pink. Paws are yellow, with three fingers (two in front, one behind). The tail consists of three green feathers with pink tips.
Often wears clothes:
- In Issue 2, in the new owner's apartment, he wears a blue Mickey Mouse T-shirt.
- At the beginning of the third issue, he appears in Vovka's white T-shirt. Then he changes into striped shorts with suspenders, a T-shirt and beach goggles. Further, in several episodes, he walks in Vasily's sweatshirt and his cap.
Favorite pastime: watching television films and programs - judging by the vocabulary, completely different topics - from crime series to concert programs:
- the phrases “She robbed the savings bank”, “Shurik, be careful, the criminal is armed”, “Major Tomin tells me” - perhaps a reference to the series “Investigation conducted ZnatoKi”;)
- the mention of "Mrs. Monica" is a clear reference to the TV show "Zucchini " 13 "chairs"";
- the phrase “I am a pitiful, insignificant person” is a reference to the replica of the character of the story by I. Ilf and E. Petrov “The Golden Calf” - Panikovsky (in the original “You are a pitiful, insignificant person”);
- in addition, in monologues, the parrot talks about the “kalinary technical school” (a famous miniature performed by Gennady Khazanov), quotes Mikhail Zhvanetsky’s feuilleton “Figure in the Museum” (“In the Greek hall, in the Greek hall ... a white mouse”), sports reports by Nikolai Ozerov, weather forecast (“fog in the region”), mentions the names of some television and radio programs (“Village hour”, “Up to 16 and older”, “Before and after midnight”, “Good morning”, etc.).
Quotes popular songs.

Review of the fairy tale "The Return of the Prodigal Parrot"
I liked this tale, despite the fact that Kesha acted very badly. He was a terrible egoist who did not care about the opinions of others. And he deservedly suffered. It is a pity that Kesha did not draw any conclusions from what happened, but that's why he is a parrot.
Proverbs to the tale "The Return of the Prodigal Parrot"
Self-lover loves no one.
Every toad praises itself.
Glory comes in spools, and leaves in pounds.
After us, at least a flood.
Its cute, albeit rotten.
Read the summary, a brief retelling of the tale "The Return of the Prodigal Parrot"
That evening, Vovka was preparing his lessons, and some detective was watching Kesha on TV. The loud sound of the TV prevented Vovka from concentrating. He tried to put a hat with earflaps on his head, but the mischievous Kesha added a sound.
Vovka walked over to the TV and lowered the volume. Kesha added. Vovka turned off the TV, saying that he had a test tomorrow.
Kesha became indignant and fainted. He moaned that he was ill and asked for water. Vovka filled his mouth with water and splashed Kesha.
This finally pissed off the parrot, and he jumped off the balcony upside down.
Having flown so several floors, Kesha spread his wings and made a circle. He looked around. All around were identical houses with hundreds of identical windows. The parrot had absolutely no idea from which balcony he had fallen and how to find his way back.
Meanwhile the night had come. Kesha was sitting on a branch frowning and lonely.
In the morning the yard began to come to life. A fat cat came out of the entrance, sparrows jumped near him, a crow fashionista admired her reflection.
Hungry Kesha, homesick, began to sing the song "Parental House". He did a very soulful, and when he finished, there was applause. Pieces of biscuits and fruit fell at Kesha's feet.
Kesha perked up and began to tell funny monologues.
But time passed, autumn approached. Kesha's monotonous performances soon got tired of the inhabitants of the yard, and the parrot had to find it more and more difficult to get his own food. The fat cat openly laughed at Tahiti, saying that he was well fed here too.
Hunger set in, followed by cold. The yard was covered with snow.
Kesha with a small sparrow hid under a straw hat, the two of them were warmer.
Once, Kesha snooped around the balconies in search of food and suddenly saw Vovka in one of the windows. He sat at the table and did his homework. And a puppy was sitting next to him.
The puppy saw Kesha and rushed to the window barking. Vovka looked around, and soon Kesha flew into the open window and fell into the boy's warm embrace.
And after a while, Kesha again watched TV loudly, and did not listen to Vovka's objections. He was incorrigible.
