Masha and the Bear 1.5.1 - Laundry Day


This episode was first broadcast on 26th April 2011.

It's a really beautiful episode. It could be called "Masha's Fashion Haul". It starts with Bear hanging sheets on his washing line.


Then we see the railway station where Masha lives. This picture is so beautiful that I could frame it and hang it on my wall.


The dog and the goat are relaxing in the sun.


The pig is listening to his Walkman. I wonder what sort of music he listens to.


But the pig isn't left alone. Masha comes and waves a dummy at him. In America dummies are called pacifiers, which definitely doesn't fit this image. This dummy brings the opposite of peace.


The dummy/pacifier goes in the pig's mouth. He's Masha's little baby, complete with a nappy (in American called diapers).


She takes the pig for a ride in the push-chair. What are push-chairs called in America? As you can see, the baby is bigger than the mother.


Masha pushes her baby all the way to Bear's house. She's filthy from falling in a puddle.


Bear picks her up and examines her. He knows what to do.


Step One: He puts her in the shower.


Step Two: He washes her clothes.


Step Three: He hangs her clothes on the line.


Step Four: He sews new clothes for Masha from one of his sheets. Wow! Bear has many talents!


And Masha's new dress is ready!


Just look how beautiful she is!


Now she can go and fetch some milk for her baby.


Carefully, carefully.....


Oops!


So it's back into the shower with Masha.


Her new dress is washed and hung up to dry. Masha even had new shoes. Did Bear really make them as well?


He takes another sheet and sews more clothes for Masha.


She looks good. She's a fashion queen.


But then she finds jam that Bear has been cooking.


She sneaks away with it.


And she's in a mess again.


So repeat Steps One to Four, and here's her next dress.


Maybe it's safer to eat jam from a jar. Or maybe not.


As a result she gets a new yellow dress. She remembers that her baby still needs milk.


But she's distracted by the sight of raspberries.


Bear makes her a beautiful orange dress, but she falls in the lake and wades in the muddy water.


Her next dress is red with white polka dots.


It doesn't stay clean long. Bear is furious.


And he has no more sheets left on the washing line.


There's only one solution. He dresses her up like a baby.


And Pig can push her home.

The End.



Song about Cleanliness

You won't ever see a kitty
Who will start to eat its food
If its muzzle is not pretty,
Licked to be all clean and good.

Mother takes her piglets out,
Teaches them to wipe their hooves,
Saying when they wash their snout,
Then their appetite improves.

If the children
Brush their teeth and wash their hands,
Then the Sun smiles,
Shining brightly on our lands.

If the children
Brush their teeth and wash their hands,
Then the Sun smiles,
Shining brightly on our lands.

You can get so sick that you'll cry,
That's another point to stress,
If you make your room a pigsty
And forget the cleanliness.

All the children have to know,
Rules of personal hygiene,
To be neat from head to toe,
To be radiantly clean.

If the children
Brush their teeth and wash their hands,
Then the Sun smiles,
Shining brightly on our lands.

If the children
Brush their teeth and wash their hands,
Then the Sun smiles,
Shining brightly on our lands.

If the children
Brush their teeth and wash their hands,
Then the Sun smiles,
Shining brightly on our lands.

If the children
Brush their teeth and wash their hands,
Then the Sun smiles,
Shining brightly on our lands.
