Masha and the Bear 2.1.1 - Picture Perfect

This episode was first broadcast on 1st October 2012.

It's a cold day outside. There's too much snow to go for a walk outside, so Bear looks for something to keep himself occupied indoors. He wants to paint pictures! Is there anything Bear can't do? He sets up his canvas.

He arranges fruit.

And he begins to paint.

Have you ever seen such a happy Bear?

But then catastrophe strikes.

The apples are gone.

I think you can guess what happened.

Masha apologises by setting up a different scene for Bear to paint. He's not impressed.

While Bear is cleaning up the mess, Masha starts to paint.

She presents her masterpiece to Bear.

Why doesn't he like it? I think it's quite good.

A wolf is howling outside. Bear suggests that would be a better subject for a painting. Or is he just trying to get her out of the house?

The wolves pose for Masha.

And they're soon joined by all the other animals from the forest.

This is Masha's new masterpiece. That's clever. She's added the animals to her painting of Bear.

The animals complain that the picture doesn't look like them. Don't they understand expressionism? Paintings shouldn't be a photorealistic representation of real life, they should express what the artist sees. But Masha takes their criticism to heart. If the painting doesn't look like the animals, she makes the animals look like the painting.

The wolf is impressed with his new look.

One by one the other animals are painted.

And then the trees.

Back in his house, Bear has created a series of paintings in different styles.

Masha proudly presents her painting. There's just one problem. Bear is the wrong colour.

So Masha tries to paint the bear bright orange. He flees from the house and runs through the forest to get away. So he gets his outdoor exercise after all.

The End.

Song of a Young Artist

Children love to colour

And to paint their world,

White snow looks much duller

Than a rainbow swirl.

Once their dreams will take flight,

They can't be contained,

So let's make our land bright,

Let's be entertained.

Look around and you'll find

The source of inspiration,

You'll be guided in your search

By your imagination.

Even if you won't create

A brilliant masterpiece of art,

Happiness will fill your soul,

Greatest joy will fill your heart.

 

Winter forest is a place

With its doubts and cues,

From the ruby red race

To electric blues.

When you use your gift and

Know your talents work,

You'll leave print of your hand

On the entire Earth.

 

Look around and you'll find

The source of inspiration,

You'll be guided in your search

By your imagination.

Even if you won't create

A brilliant masterpiece of art,

Happiness will fill your soul,

Greatest joy will fill your heart.

 

Happiness will fill your soul,

Greatest joy will fill your heart.
