in the film. Educationists, parents, and delegates of social organisations take part in discussions on these problems.
However, the broadest 'parliament of opinions' for all these practical problems the children's film finds amongst its vital, lively and sensitive audience, amongst the children themselves. As a rule, every completed film is discussed critically by children in schools, in 'Young Pioneer' clubs, and at children's conferences which the studio 'Sojusdetfilm' calls in. Thus, in Moscow alone, such consultations, for instance about the fairy-tale By Command of the Pike, took place in the 'Palace of the Young Pioneers'; at a children's meeting a thousand strong, in the First Children's Cinema, and in the central office of the journalists, as well as in several schools. In other cities, too, such consultations with children about the same film took place.
In the speeches of the young critics an astounding earnestness and great sense of responsibility can be felt. Apart from the individual judgment — T like it' — T don't like it', we often notice rather touching efforts, on the part of the children, to express themselves on certain general principles.
Here are a few extracts from the minutes of the discussion on the film, By Command of the Pike, held at the 'Palace of the Young Pioneers'.
A schoolboy, Oranowski, finds the film interesting. He has only a few remarks to make about the somewhat unsatisfactory sound performance. But he also takes into consideration some other points such as: is the director's conception of the hero of the film, the peasant's son, Temelja, correct?
'Perhaps I am wrong, but Temelja did not emerge as I know him in the fairy-tale. Temelja appears in many fairy-tales — I have read them all — and he is always a simple, lazy peasant boy. But with you he is such a cultured person, just like a scholar. He immediately knows who the Czar is and what the Czar intends to do. Possibly it is more correct to regard Temelja like that, but then it isn't the same as in the fairy-tale. It isn't like that in the fairytale.5
Werschinin, an older schoolboy, disagrees with Oranowski:
T don't agree at all with the way in which Oranowski judges Temelja. Hasn't he noticed that in Temelja simplicity is coupled with cunning, when he blinks his eyes and whispers his magic word, 'By command of the Pike', in the presence of the Czar? What is so odd about Temelja being clever enough to use the magic power which has been given to him? Temelja is a peasant, and the peasant
