Piggy good night. Piggy found his new voice

One of the most successful projects in the history of not only Russian, but also world television is the program " Goodnight, kids! In the near future, it will be included in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest-running children's program in the world!

The program has been in existence since September 1964. She almost never stopped going on the air and has always been popular. It is watched by the third generation

The story of the birth of the program "Good night, kids!" Originates in 1963, when the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of programs for children and youth, Valentina Ivanovna Fedorova, while in the GDR, saw an animated series that told about the adventures of a sandman. This is how the idea to create an evening program for children in our country appeared. On September 1, 1964, its first issue was released. The first splash screen was black and white. The screen saver depicted a watch with moving hands. Then the program did not have a constant release time, and the author of the intro, artist Irina Vlasova, each time set the time again

Alexander Kurlyandsky, Eduard Uspensky, Andrey Usachev, Roman Sef and others took part in the creation of the program. The program was conceived as "A Bedtime Story". And right away the program got its own voice, its own unique song “Tired Toys Are Sleeping”, which lulls the kids. The music for the lullaby was written by the composer Arkady Ostrovsky, the lyrics by the poetess Zoya Petrova, and the lullaby was performed by Oleg Anofriev, a little later by Valentina Tolkunova

Screensaver became colored in the late 70s

The screensaver in the form of a plasticine cartoon was made by Alexander Tatarsky

In the late 80s, the intro and lullaby changed for a while. Instead of a TV and toys sitting around it, a drawn garden and birds appeared. New song"Sleep, my joy, sleep..." (music by B. Flis, Russian text by S. Sviridenko) performed by Elena Kamburova

The creators of the program argued for a long time about the name. There were several options: “Evening Tale”, “Good Night”, “Bedtime Tale”, “Visiting the Magic Man Tick-Tock”. But on the eve of the first broadcast, they decided the name of the program was found: “Good night, kids!”

The first releases of the program were in the form of pictures with voice-over text. Then came puppet shows and small plays in which the artists of the Moscow Art Theater and the Theater of Satire played

Pinocchio and Tepa the hare, Shustrik and Myamlik puppets took part in the puppet shows. In addition, the participants of the program were children 4-6 years old and theater actors who told tales

May 20, 1968 happened major event in the history of the Transmission - the first, though Czech, cartoon "NUT" is shown. And then the Nut doll was made. After watching the cartoon the protagonist appeared in the studio. It was a new fairy element. The hero of the cartoon miraculously appears and begins to communicate. However, none of the first heroes did not last long, as they did not receive real adoration from the audience. And only in September 1968, the first, legendary and still existing participant, the dog Filya, joins the line of characters. Its prototype was the BRAVNI DOG, which had been gathering dust in a puppet warehouse for a long time. The first actor to voice Filya was Grigory Tolchinsky. He liked to joke: “I will retire, I will publish the book“ Twenty years under the skirt of Aunt Valya. Today's voice of Fili is actor Sergei Grigoriev

Surprisingly, Filya is not the first dog. A couple of years earlier there was already a character - the dog Kuzya. But apparently the character of Kuzi somehow failed, unlike the good-natured and intelligent Fili. Then, beloved by many, Uncle Volodya appeared on the screens with the bunny Tepa and the dog Chizhik

On February 10, 1971, next to Aunt Valya Leontyeva, a piggy Khryusha appeared in the studio. A naughty piggy child is constantly naughty, gets into different stories and learn from their own mistakes. He owes his charm to Natalya Derzhavina, whose voice he spoke until 2002. Until the moment when a wonderful actress passed away

In 1970, in August, STEPASHKA was "born" - a kind of opposite to Khryusha. Obedient inquisitive bunny, very diligent, polite and reasonable.

Stepashka is voiced by Natalya Golubentseva. The actress in life often uses the voice of her character. Hearing it, even strict traffic cops become kind before their eyes, and forget about the fine. The actress got along with Stepashka so much that she pasted a photo together with him into her certificate of the honored artist

In 1979, KARKUSHA appeared in the program, the only girl who took root in the program and fell in love with the audience. For a very long time they could not pick up the character of Karkusha. Many actresses who auditioned for the role could not get used to the image of a funny crow until Gertrude Sufimova appeared in Good Night. And it was already impossible to imagine another Karkusha ... When in 1998, at the age of 72, the actress died, the crow settled on the hand of actress Galina Marchenko

In 1984, Mishutka was introduced into the main cast of the famous four: Fili, Khryushi, Stepashki and Karkusha.

When peace was restored and issues were resolved, the children were rewarded with a cartoon. So Krzhmelik and Vakhmurka, Lelek and Bolek, the dog Rex and the mole burst into our lives.

When in the early 80s it was decided to replace the dolls with people, there was no limit to the indignation of millions of viewers, and two months later the dolls took their usual places. In its long screen life, Good Night has experienced all sorts of times. Most often, the clouds gathered over Piggy, and for the most unexpected reasons. For example, once the board of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company was asked why all the dolls in the program blink, but Piggy does not.

Attributed to the program and political "sabotage". Allegedly, when the famous trip of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev to America took place, the cartoon "The Traveling Frog" was urgently removed from the air. When Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, they did not recommend showing a cartoon about the bear Mishka, who never finished the job he started. But the broadcasters think it's all a coincidence.

Currently, the hosts are Anna Mikhalkova, Oksana Fedorova, Andrey Grigoriev-Appolonov and Dmitry Malikov

And five friends live in a toy house in Ostankino: Filya, Stepashka, Khryusha, Karkusha and Mishutka. Each of them has its own story.

Our little pig Piggy is the soul of the company. He is very inquisitive: he is interested in everything. Who is the master of asking questions! He is the first inventor: almost all tricks and pranks are the work of Piggy's paws. Not a single prank can do without it. How fun to be a little naughty! Our Piggy does not really like to clean up and put things in order. But together with friends, he is ready to move mountains, and not just clean his room. Piggy loves everything sweet: the best gift for him is a kilogram or two of sweets, a few bars of chocolate and a large jar of jam. Karkusha sometimes gets a little angry with Piggy: after all, eating a lot of sweets is harmful! But Piggy says that sweets help him in his creativity. Our Piggy is a famous poet. Usually inspiration comes to him after he eats sweets. At least that's what he says.

Stepashka
In 1970, small viewers first met Stepashka.

Stepashka has a carrot growing on the window. But only for the love of art. After all, Stepashka loves nature very much and often goes to the forest with Mishutka. And the most beautiful landscapes Stepashka even sketches. He really wants to become a real artist and therefore works hard. Stepashka's drawings are very popular with his friends, especially if he draws their portrait. Stepashka loves to dream. Often all friends gather together in one room and listen to Stepashka. After all, dreaming is so interesting! True, Khryusha and Filya run away, but only in order to immediately begin to act and realize Stepashka's wildest dreams. Stepashka - very good friend: you can trust him with any secret, and be sure that Stepashka will not tell anyone anything

Phil
Filya is an old-timer of the Good Night, Kids! program. Its appearance dates back to 1968.

Here's who is the most well-read! Sometimes you think that Phil knows everything, everything in the world! Or at least wants to know. Fili's room is always in order: books and textbooks lie in an even pile on the shelf, all the toys are in their places. Phil loves music very much. He even considered taking part in music competition, but remembered that he could not play on any musical instrument. But that's just for now. He is a very responsible and serious dog. If he promised something, he will certainly fulfill it. He sings very well. And who knows, maybe soon we will see Filya on stage!

Karkusha
Karkusha became a regular participant in the program in 1979.

The only girl in our company. Karkusha is sure that these boys need an eye and an eye! Look, they'll learn something. This is where it will appear and everything will fall into place. You also need to be able to play pranks so that no one is offended: this is what Karkusha thinks. She loves bright ribbons, bows and jewelry. Well, that's why she's a girl. And Karkusha cooks wonderfully. The favorite dish of all friends is a signature cake. True, Piggy always strives to take a larger piece, but this number will not work with Karkusha. She also loves to be complimented. All friends are happy to tell Karkusha what a wonderful, beautiful and smart crow she is. There are no such places anywhere else!

bear
The little bear Mishutka appeared on the screen in 2002.

Previously, before meeting with friends, Mishutka lived in the forest. He still has a small hut, where he keeps part of his supplies and tools. Mishutka loves sports very much, and every morning she does exercises with our friends. After all, all babies should be strong and healthy. Mishutka loves to craft. There is a special corner in his room where Mishutka spends hours poring over his creations. Oh, what crafts come out of Mishutkin's skillful paws! One day, Karkusha's favorite locker broke down. What do you think, Mishutka instantly made a new one, more beautiful than the old one, and now Karkusha is not overjoyed at him. Mishutka often does not understand many things, because life in the forest is very different from life in the city. The little bear goes to Phil for help, and his friend is always happy to help him. Sometimes Mishutka starts to miss her forest. And then he leaves for a few days. But will definitely come back. Because his friends and kids are waiting for him, who watch the program "Good night, kids!" every evening.

In preparing the post, materials from sites were used.

Transfer "Good night, kids!" - one of the most successful projects on domestic television and the oldest children's program in Russia - celebrates its anniversary on September 1. For 45 years, her leading and main characters have changed more than once, but the love of little viewers for her remains unchanged.

old nursery

The history of the birth of the program for the smallest dates back to 1963, when the editor-in-chief of the editorial office of programs for children and youth in the GDR saw an animated series that told about the adventures of a sandman. Then the idea came up to create an evening program for children in our country. Alexander Kurlyandsky, Eduard Uspensky, Andrey Usachev, Roman Sef and others took part in the creation of the program.

The creators of the program chose a name for a long time, among the options were "Bedtime Story", "Evening Tale", "Good Night", "Visiting the Magic Tick-Tock Man," according to the transmission website. But on the eve of the first broadcast, it was decided to call the program "Good night, kids!".

On September 1, 1964, its first issue was released. At first, the program was broadcast only live, these were episodes in the form of pictures with voice-over text.

"In those early years, along with many prohibitions, it was impossible to give fairy tales with a continuation the next day. Cartoons were banned in our program. Instead, I ordered drawings from the best animators of the Cartoon Studio - Lev Milchin, Vadim Kurchevsky, Nikolai Serebryakov, Vyacheslav Kotenochkin, Tamara Poletika. For a small fee, they made wonderful drawings that went in the frame, and the text was read behind the scenes, "recalled one of the first directors of the program Natalia Sokol.

Then came puppet shows and short plays. In addition, children themselves (4-6 years old) participated in the program, to whom theater actors told fairy tales.

"Guests" began to come to the kids - first Pinocchio and the bunny Tyopa, then the dog Chizhik, Alyosha-Pochemuchka and the Cat, then Shishiga and Enek-Benek, Shustrik and Myamlik joined them. The first hero, familiar to today's little viewer, appeared only in 1968.

The program quickly gained popularity and love not only of "kids", but also of their parents and did not lose them with the collapse of the USSR, despite moving from channel to channel. In addition, she received official recognition: she received the TEFI award three times (1997, 2002, 2003) in the nomination "best children's program" and got into the "Book of Records of Russia" as the oldest television program for children.

TV lullaby

The song “Good night, kids!”, upon hearing which any Soviet child ran to the TV, also appeared in 1963. "Tired toys are sleeping..." actor Oleg Anofriev sang to the kids. The words to this lullaby were written by the poetess Zoya Petrova, and the music - famous composer Arkady Ostrovsky, who also owns the music for the songs "Let there always be sun", etc.

At first, the main lullaby of the country was sung by the actor Oleg Anufriev, who later voiced almost all the characters and the author in the popular Soviet cartoon "The Bremen Town Musicians". Then he was replaced by the singer Valentina Tolkunova. The splash screen in the form of a plasticine cartoon was made by Alexander Tatarsky.

In the late 80s, the intro and lullaby changed for a while - to "Sleep, my joy, sleep ...". Instead of a TV and toys sitting around it, a drawn garden and birds appeared.

Uncles and aunts

For 45 years, not only the intro and songs have changed, but also the presenters. At different times, good night was said to the kids by "Uncle Volodya" Vladimir Ukhin, "Aunt Valya" Valentina Leontyeva (they led the program for 30 years), "Aunt Tanya" Tatyana Vedeneeva, "Aunt Lina" Angelina Vovk, "Aunt Tanya" Tatyana Sudets , "Uncle Yura" Yuri Grigoriev, "Uncle Yura" Yuri Nikolaev, magician Hmayak Hakobyan as the magician Rakhat ibn Lukum, etc.

For many of them, the program for the little ones has become the starting point in a great career. "I "grew up" from Aunt Lina from Good Night, Kids!" into the permanent host of "Song of the Year" ... But I am very glad that I was once "Aunt Lina". Young people now perceive me not as an ordinary TV presenter, but a little whether not as a nanny Arina Rodionovna, "says Angelina Vovk.

Interestingly, while the program "Good night, kids!" Angelina Vovk began to lead, one might say, against her will, when she urgently had to replace the absent Vladimir Ukhin. She did not know either the topic of the program, or which cartoon would be shown later. The red light on the camera lit up: it is on the air. She smiled, said hello, and then failure. She didn't remember what she had said for those five minutes until the cartoon started.

Then everyone congratulated her, saying that she had an excellent broadcast. So she became "Aunt Lina".

Now the program is being hosted by the daughter of the famous Russian film director Nikita Mikhalkov Anna Mikhalkova, Miss Universe 2002 Oksana Fedorova and actor Viktor Bychkov, known to the mass audience for his role as huntsman Kuzmich in Peculiarities of the National Hunt.

According to Oksana Fedorova, in childhood, "Good night, kids!" was her favorite program. The children's program was her first television experience. By the way, with her appearance on the air, the proportion of men in the audience of the program has increased dramatically.

However, her appearance did not affect the fate of another eminent host program - Anna Mikhalkova. With Piggy, Stepashka, Fillya, Karkusha and other heroes, they communicate in turn.

As the newspaper "Life" notes, over time, the style of communication on the program has changed a lot - they stopped addressing the presenters to you and calling them aunts: now just Oksana and Anya visit their favorite characters, but the doll actor Viktor Bychkov is still called Uncle Vitya .

Play with dolls

But the main characters of the program are still "puppet" characters. By the way, Filya was the first known to appear on May 20, 1968. The prototype of the current universal favorite was found by the editor of the program "Good night, kids!" Vladimir Shinkarev, who came up with this name for the dog.

The first actor who gave Phila a voice was Grigory Tolchinsky. He liked to joke: “I’ll retire, I’ll publish the book“ Twenty years under Aunt Valya’s skirt. ” By the way, male puppeteers really had a hard time: until the end of the 70s, female television employees were forbidden to come to work in trousers. Khryusha and Stepashka did not make exceptions, and the puppeteers needed to have strong nerves to control the doll while sitting or lying under the table surrounded by female legs and speak the words of a 5-year-old baby.

“In order to reduce the number of mistakes to a minimum, a special sign language was even invented,” Alexander Mitroshenkov, chairman of the board of directors of the Klass! TV company that produces the program, told Moskovsky Komsomolets. : Colleagues of the famous leading aunt Valya warned her about the moment when she needed to enter into the role or finish the sentence by knocking on her leg under the table.

After the death of Grigory Tolchinsky, Filya was voiced by Igor Golunenko, and now by actor Sergei Grigoriev.

Following Filya, Stepashka appeared in 1970. He is voiced by Natalya Golubentseva, who sometimes uses the voice of her character in real life and, although this is not supposed to be, pasted her photograph with Stepashka into her certificate of a well-deserved artist.

The history of the appearance of Piggy is interesting. His official birthday is February 10, 1971, when Tepa the bunny and "Aunt Valya" were already sitting at the table in front of the viewers.

"Hello guys! Hello Tepa! Oh, someone hit me on the leg. Tepa, do you know who it is?" - "I know, Aunt Valya. This is a piglet. He lives with me now." - "Tepochka, why does he live under the table?" - "Because, Aunt Valya, he is very naughty and does not want to leave the table." - "What's your name, piglet?" - Asked, looking under the table, Valentina Leontyeva. And in response I heard: "Piggy".

It was over Piggy that the clouds most often subsequently thickened. In the 1980s, a new editorial director of children's programs was indignant: why did all the dolls in the program blink, but Piggy did not. The issue was brought to the nearest board of the State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company, which decided to replace the dolls with people. But due to the outrage of millions of viewers, the dolls were returned two months later.

At the beginning of perestroika, Soviet Muslims took up arms against Khryusha, demanding "to remove pork from the frame." To which the editor of the program, Lyudmila Yermilina, replied: "The Koran says that pigs should not be eaten, but Allah does not forbid looking at them at all."

Until 2002, Khryusha spoke in the voice of Natalia Derzhavina. She devoted her whole life to her beloved pig. “He sometimes gets completely out of control,” she said. “When he blurts out something, I even have to apologize. For him - not for myself. I know that I could not say that under any circumstances! Sometimes it seems to me that we just have a common blood circulation. But in general, there is as much foolishness in me as in this scoundrel ... "

After the death of Natalya Derzhavina, Khryusha began to speak in the voice of Oksana Chabanyuk.

For a very long time they could not find the character of Karkusha - a character invented in 1979 in order to dilute the male company. Many actresses who auditioned for her role could not get used to the image of a funny crow until Gertrude Sufimova came to Good Night at a fairly respectable age. In 1998, when she died, the crow settled on the arm of actress Galina Burmistrova.

After 2000, a new character appeared on the screen - Mishutka. The Dwarf Buckeye sometimes joins the main characters. At different times, Pinocchio and the bunny Tyopa, the dog Chizhik, Alyosha-Pochemuchka and the Cat, Shishiga and Enek-benek, Shustrik and Myamlik, Tsap-Tsarapych, the cat Vasil Vasilich, Brownie, Mokryona, Lesovichek, Fedya the Hedgehog and Peas the Rooster also appeared on the screen at different times .

Big transfer policy for the little ones

From the very beginning, the program is educational and educational in nature, it tells cautionary tales teaching kids letters and numbers game form, get acquainted with famous people- children's writers, artists, singers.
According to the "Courier of the White Sea", once the bard Sergei Nikitin was invited to the program "to visit". Everyone sat down in their places - some at the table, some under the table - and the recording began. Nikitin greeted Aunt Lina, Khryusha and Fillya, said something, sang a song. And then Phil asks: "Uncle Seryozha, what else do you do besides songs?"

"I am a biochemist by profession, and songs are my passion," the bard replied. Piggy entered the conversation: "Oh, how interesting! What is a biochemist?" - "Biochemistry is a science that studies the substances from which living organisms are made. Here you are, Piggy, what are you made of?" Natalya Derzhavina, who spoke for Khryusha, thought for a second and cheerfully replied: "From pork!" Shooting was able to resume only after 15 minutes.

And in Soviet time the program was credited with "political sabotage".

"... One of the first broadcasts almost became the last," said Alexander Mitroshenkov. last years For his work, he liked to go on business trips abroad. There were many jokes about this. And here in "Calm" there is a cartoon "Frog Traveler". The scandal was huge. (...) Already under Brezhnev, a program was taken off the air, in which it was told with humor why the dog Fili has a human name. Ironically, at that moment Fidel Castro arrived in the USSR, and one of the politicians came up with the idea that Filya was Fidel. This means that the screenwriters are encroaching on the honor and dignity of the Cuban leader."

At the same time, Mitroshenkov says, Brezhnev himself was a big fan of the Good Night, Kids! program. As the former chairman of the State Radio and Television Sergei Lapin said, once the General Secretary joked to the Politburo: “Yesterday I watched“ Good night, kids! ”- and there the pig said that we still have a lot of boobies left. We need to reduce their number!”.

There is also a story that when Mikhail Gorbachev came to power, they did not recommend showing a cartoon about the bear Mishka, who never finished the job he had begun.

From the very beginning, the program has an educational and enlightening character, it tells instructive stories, teaches children letters and numbers in a playful way, introduces famous people - children's writers, artists, singers.

The idea to release a TV show for children came to the editor-in-chief of programs for children and youth, Valentina Fedorova, after visiting the GDR, where she saw a cartoon about a sandman.

The first releases were in the form of pictures with off-screen text. But over time, the type of transmission has changed somewhat. In it, most of the time was occupied by a cartoon, before which there was an interlude with the participation of leading and popular characters - Fili, Piggy and Stepashka. This trinity was invented by the editor of the children's edition Vladimir Shinkarev.

The first actor to voice Filya was Grigory Tolchinsky. He liked to joke: “I will retire, I will publish the book“ Twenty years under the skirt of Aunt Valya. Today's voice of Fili is actor Sergei Grigoriev.

Khryusha spoke in the voice of Natalya Derzhavina, the program's oldest worker. We can say that she devoted her life to her beloved pig. And the actress's house was literally littered with toy pigs - gifts from friends and spectators. After Natalya Derzhavina died, Khryusha began to speak in the voice of Oksana Chabanyuk.

For a very long time they could not find an actress for the role of Karkusha. Many actresses who auditioned for the role could not get used to the image of a funny crow until Gertrude Sufimova appeared in Good Night. And it was already impossible to imagine another Karkusha ... When in 1998, at the age of 72, the actress died, the crow settled on the arm of actress Galina Marchenko.

Stepashka is voiced by Natalya Golubentseva. The actress got along with Stepashka so much that she pasted a photo together with him into her certificate of a well-deserved artist.

The first screen saver, which appeared in 1964, was black and white. The screen saver depicted a watch with moving hands. Then the program did not have a constant release time, and the author of the intro, artist Irina Vlasova, each time set the time anew. In the late 1970s, the screen saver became colored. Together with the screensaver, the lullaby "Tired toys are sleeping", which appeared in 1963, was performed.

In 1982, a splash screen was made in the form of a plasticine cartoon.

The composer Arkady Ostrovsky wrote the music for it, the words were written by the poetess Zoya Petrova, and the lullaby was performed by Oleg Anofriev, and a little later by Valentina Tolkunova.

Nina Kondratova became the first announcer of the only children's program at that time. Then there were more hosts: Valentina Leontyeva (Aunt Valya), Vladimir Ukhin (Uncle Volodya), Svetlana Zhiltsova, Tatiana Vedeneeva (Aunt Tanya), Angelina Vovk (Aunt Lina), Tatiana Sudets (Aunt Tanya), Yuri Grigoriev (Uncle Yura) , Yuri Nikolaev (Uncle Yura), Yulia Pustovoitova, Dmitry Khaustov. Currently, the hosts are: actress Anna Mikhalkova, TV presenter Oksana Fedorova, actor Viktor Bychkov.

From 1994 to the present, the program has been produced by the KLASS! TV company.

In 1999, the program did not go out, because they did not find a place for it on the air grid; instead, the detective television series “Deadly Force” was broadcast.

Transfer "Good night, kids!" three times became the winner of the TEFI television award (in 1997, 2002 and 2003) in the nomination "Best Children's Program".

Characters

Every evening they come to our house, smile from the TV screens, help the kids to know the world and answer many questions that arise little man. It is almost impossible to imagine childhood without Piggy, Stepashka, Fili, Karkusha and Mishutka. Moms and dads, grandparents of those who are watching the program "Good night, kids!" remember and love the participants of the program no less than small spectators. After all, they also grew up and studied along with the characters of the program. And there were so many of them… (photo sequence) Today, five friends live in a toy house in Ostankino: Filya, Stepashka, Khryusha, Karkusha and Mishutka. Each of them has its own story.

And Stepashka even sketches the most beautiful landscapes. He really wants to become a real artist and therefore works hard. Stepashka's drawings are very popular with his friends, especially if he draws their portrait. Stepashka loves to dream. Often all friends gather together in one room and listen to Stepashka. After all, dreaming is so interesting! True, Khryusha and Filya run away, but only in order to immediately begin to act and realize Stepashka's wildest dreams.

The first TV show screensaver, which appeared in 1964

Screensaver of a TV show in the 1970s

Classic TV show intro used from 1982 to 1986, and from 2002 to the present day

Screensaver "Sleep, my joy, sleep", used in 1986-1994

Drawn screensaver with the participation of the heroes of the program (1997-1999)

Transfer screensaver (1999-2001)

The music for the song "Tired Toys Are Sleeping" was written by composer Arkady Ostrovsky. Poems - poetess Zoya Petrova, performers - Valentina Dvoryaninova, then - Oleg Anofriev. The song used the first, third and fourth quatrains. In 1982, a splash screen was made in the form of a plasticine cartoon, created by Alexander Tatarsky.

In early 1986, the intro and lullaby changed. Instead of a TV and toys sitting around it, a drawn garden and birds appeared on the hat of a kind sorceress. This screensaver was popularly called "dark". Elena Kamburova performed the lullaby "Sleep, my joy, sleep ...", previously sounded in the cartoon "The Sure Way", music by Bernard Flies (English) Russian, previously erroneously attributed to Mozart, to the words of the German lullaby. "Das Wiegenlied" (German "Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein", literally: "Sleep, my the little Prince, fall asleep") from the play "Esther" in 1795 by F. W. Gotter (English) Russian, Russian text by S. Sviridenko

In 1994, the classic plasticine screensaver returned, and it was shown on different backgrounds- red, yellow, orange, pink or blue.

In December 1995, in the New Year's edition of Good Night, Kids! the screensaver changed again: cloudy figures (a horse, a bear, etc.) appeared in the sky, and the song “Sleep Fairy” performed by Svetlana Lazareva was the musical accompaniment at the beginning and end. The appearance of a new intro and song was presented as a New Year's gift to children from the heroes of the program.

The replacement of the song provoked protests from some viewers, and as a result, after a few weeks, the new intro began to alternate with the old one, and in the summer of 1997 it was replaced by a drawn intro with music from Tatarsky’s plasticine intro with the following plot: against the background starry sky clocks appear in which the corner figures serve as bells; then a door opens in the clock and a long room appears, along which a red carpet creeps, and doors open; before the opening of the last door, the crawling of the carpet pauses, and only then Karkusha unties the ribbon and the door opens - here the transmission begins. At the end, a video for the song “Tired Toys Are Sleeping” is shown, which describes how the characters of the program go to bed. This screensaver was also made by the Pilot animation studio, the director of the screensaver is Valery Kachaev.

In the autumn of 1999, another screensaver appeared, in which there was a hare ringing a bell (author - Yuri Norshtein). The change of the screen saver again caused a number of complaints from the viewers - the hare had terrible eyes and teeth.

In September 2001, after the program moved from ORT to Kultura, the 1997 screensaver with a carpet returned to the air, since Norshtein's screensaver was the property of Channel One and could not be used on the Kultura channel.

After moving to RTR in March 2002, the intro with Tatarsky's plasticine cartoon returned (which had not been on the air since 1996), but the intro was slightly modified with computer graphics: the clouds, the month in boots and other details are finished on the computer. This screen saver is shown to this day.

Lyrics of the song "Tired toys sleep"

Tired toys sleep, books sleep,

Blankets and pillows are waiting for the guys.

Even the fairy tale goes to sleep

For us to dream at night

You wish her bye-bye.

Verse missing from the show:

Definitely at home at this hour

Quietly, the slumber walks around us.

It's getting darker outside the window

Mornings are wiser than nights.

Close your eyes, bye bye.

In a fairy tale you can ride on the moon

And ride a horse across the rainbow.

Make friends with an elephant

And catch the firebird's feather.

Close your eyes, bye bye.

Bye-bye, all people should sleep at night,

Bye-bye, tomorrow will be a day again.

During the day we were very tired,

Let's all say goodnight

Close your eyes! bye bye

The words of the lullaby "Sleep my joy, sleep" from the 1986 intro

words by F. W. Gotter (English) Russian, Russian text by S. Sviridenko, music by Bernard Flies (English) Russian.

Sleep, my joy, sleep!

The lights went out in the house;

The bees are quiet in the garden

The fish fell asleep in the pond

The moon shines in the sky

The moon looks out the window...

Close your eyes rather

Sleep, my joy, sleep!

Sleep, sleep!

Everything in the house was quiet for a long time,

In the cellar, in the kitchen it's dark,

No door creaks

The mouse is sleeping behind the stove.

Someone sighed behind the wall - What do we care, dear?

Close your eyes rather

Sleep, my joy, sleep!

Sleep, sleep!

Sweetly my chick lives:

There are no worries, no worries;

Plenty of toys, sweets,

Plenty of fun things

Hurry up to get everything

Just don't cry, baby!

May it be like this all day long!

Sleep, my joy, sleep!

Sleep, sleep!

Lyrics to the lullaby "Sleep Fairy" from the 1995 intro

Lyrics by L. Rubalskaya:

Again the sky became dark, the moon hides in the clouds.

A dream fairy flies into the darkness of the hushed rooms.

It will circle over the pillow, it will say quietly: fall asleep,

Let you, baby, dream, whatever you want, bye-bye.

And a gingerbread house and a tiny dwarf

And in the circus a rider on a white horse,

And a teddy bear, and a good book,

So that you smile in your sleep until the morning.

Criticism

The writer Nikolai Nosov in his essay "On Children's Toys, Silly Jokes, Facilities for Adults, etc."

I would like, for example, to find out who came up with the idea to arrange a television program “Good night, kids!” for children? Yes, have mercy, good aunts! What a good night there, if you watch the upcoming TV for sleep! One of my acquaintances, a kid, becomes terribly excited as soon as he hears the already familiar music that precedes this program.

If someone hesitates and does not rush at full speed to the TV, he grabs him by the arm and drags him. When the transmission begins, he sits with his eyes wide open and glaring at the screen with all his tiny being, taking everything seriously, as if it were real, trying not to miss a single word, not a single movement. When the cherished program ends, he, ignoring the announcer, her wish to the audience good night, her advice to go to bed, starts a game in which he tries to repeat everything he sees on the screen.

Come on, kutto (kutto - in his language it means as if), come on kutto you are the king of the sea, - he says to his father, - and you have such a terrible beard kutto, and I am kutto a fisherman on a boat; I swam into the sea, and you grabbed my boat and dragged it under the water to the bottom. Come on! And he will not calm down and go to sleep until he runs around the room and repeats this game several times. And what a dream there is, when the pictures that struck his imagination loomed before his eyes.

I don't want to say anything bad about the content of these TV shows. They are quite harmless at first glance, but they are watched by five-year-olds, and even four-year-olds, and three-year-olds, even two-year-olds. And at this age, kids are a terribly serious people, for whom the adventures of a field mouse lost in the forest are a true tragedy, because they still do not know other tragedies at all. No, I would not advise any children to watch these programs at night. This is inconsistent with any pedagogical and medical recommendations. After all, not only children, even adults are not recommended to read at night. So then read, you know, chi-ta-at! Reading is not so exciting, though. And then, if you please, watch TV at night.

In short, there is a proposal. Without changing anything in these programs, call them not “Good night, kids”, but “ Good evening, kids ”and show them at least two, three hours before the kids go to bed. It seems that the TV staff will follow this good advice, since they are quite prudent people, able to listen to the voice of reason and do not need any drastic measures of influence.

Banned episodes

In 1969, N. S. Khrushchev went abroad. Then the episode with the cartoon "The Frog Traveler" was banned, since the main character of the cartoon was considered a parody of Khrushchev. The year is probably incorrect, since Khrushchev was retired from October 15, 1964. Such a legend appeared no earlier than 1985 and was by no means associated with Khrushchev, but with Raisa Maksimovna Gorbacheva, who, among the people, really bore the nickname "Traveling Frog".

In 1983, Fidel Castro came to the USSR. The episode where Filya explained why he had a human name was removed from the show. This interlude was regarded as an insult to the guest.

In 1985, after M. S. Gorbachev became General Secretary, the cartoon featuring the character Mishka, who never completed the work he started, was banned.

All three cases were called coincidences by the transmission staff.

“Good night, kids” is a television project, under which all the children of our country went to bed. The legendary program directly taught pranksters to be obedient, and always wash their hands before eating, diluting the educational process with a thematic cartoon. In 2016, a reboot of the TV show was released with new scenery and themes. Naturally, the format of the project is slightly different, but its goal remains the same - to wish everyone sweet dreams. It is certainly interesting for each of the viewers to see photos of the actors of the program and find out who voices "Good night, kids."

Over the entire long period of transmission, the cast has changed quite often, but today even famous figures and stars take part in the new format (for example, Nikolai Valuev took on the role of Uncle Kolya).

Stepashka's voice has long remained unchanged thanks to Natalya Golubentseva, who voiced this role. A wonderful bunny is a role model and an image of an obedient child. The gentle voice of the character's instructive speech makes complex concepts as accessible as possible for the child, explains the role of discipline and moral values. Children perfectly perceive this information because of the correctly selected timbre and voice dynamics.

Piggy is also considered one of the most famous characters. Oksana Chabanyuk gave her voice to this hero. A naughty pig often gets into trouble, but every prank teaches him something new. The voice actress and parody actress was simply superbly able to convey the character of the prankster, noticing his individual characteristics and distinctive features.

Having learned about who voices Khryusha and Stepashka, one should also mention Karkusha. In the TV program Good Night, Kids, the voice of Galina Marchenko was chosen for this role. Clear "Kar!" - this is what we are so used to at the end of the program. It seems that the best voice acting of this character cannot be. The actress is really in her place, she seems to have become a part of her hero, joined his life. But Mishutka is constantly voiced by other people, a specific actor is not assigned to this hero.

The following actors are also working on the new project: Sergey Grigoriev, Grigory Tolchinsky, Igor Kapatov, Galina Burmistrova and others. “Good night, kids” is created by such presenters as: Nikolai Valuev, Sergey Shnurov, Valeria, Anna Mikhalkova, Tatiana Sudets, Valentina Leontieva and others.

The new is the well-forgotten old. Let this project will set your kids up for a calm and carefree sleep, and educational conversations with the characters will bring fantastic results.
