The Grasshopper and the Ant

Based On the book by Aesop

The Grasshopper and the Ant (Russian: Стрекоза и муравей) is a 1913 Russian silent short animated film directed and written by Ladislas Starevich. The film is based on the classic fable by the same name by the Greek fabulist Aesop as adapted by I. Krylov. A copy of the film was presented to Alexei Nikolaevich, Tsarevich of Russia as a gift. Though the Russian title literally translates to "The Dragonfly and the Ant", the insect depicted is a grasshopper; the word "стрекоза" was used for both species in the 19th century, when Krylov's adaptation was published.
