The Flying Ship
18 min
A poor chimney sweep named Ivan falls for Princess Zabava, but in a kingdom ruled by rank and courtly pressure, love alone is not enough. Zabava declares that she will marry only the person who can build a flying ship, turning their romance into an almost impossible challenge. Ivan sets out to do what no one around him expects, while ambition and scheming at court push against the match. The story follows his attempt to cross the gap between peasant and princess through wit, luck, and determination. Drawn from fairy-tale folklore, the film mixes songs, humor, and adventure as Ivan pursues a dream that could change both their lives.
