About a hippopotamus who was afraid of vaccinations (Russian: Про бегемота, который боялся прививок, romanized: Pro begemota, kotoryj boyalsya privivok) is a 1966 Soviet traditionally animated short film based on the fairy tale by Miloš Macourek. It was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio and it is considered as one of the best production of director-animator Leonid Amalrik.[1]
Plot[edit]
As the story opens fabulous animals swam, rested and had fun on the beach.
Unexpectedly, the crowd was interrupted by an urgent message on a hanging poster: "Everyone, from an elephant to a fly, needs vaccinations against jaundice!", however, all the animals, having read the message, as if nothing had happened, again began to relax, dance and sunbathe.
And only Behemoth (hippopotamus) who was worried, began to ask everyone how scary and painful it was to get vaccinated.
His wise friend Marabou tried to help and reassure him by telling him how important and at the same time a trifling matter. But having received a summons to appear for vaccination, Behemoth only got more scared. And only having gotten the support of Marabou, he went to the clinic.
In the queue for vaccination, fear takes its toll, and Behemoth tries in every possible way to avoid the procedure. Somehow, with the help of the rest of the animals that had come for vaccination, Behemoth still went to the doctor, into the treatment room. The Behemoth, sweating, then whitening with fright, seizing the moment when the doctor and Marabou were distracted by the conversation, ran away from the clinic, lying to the others that he had already been vaccinated.
The next day, Marabou, having come to visit the Behemoth, discovers his friend is absolutely yellow...
Marabou told the doctor about it by phone. As it turned out, without being vaccinated, Behemoth fell ill with jaundice, and he was hospitalized.
So the Behemoth ends up in a hospital bed, where he suffers from boredom and medical procedures. When the doctor and Marabou come to see him, he suddenly blushes because he felt very ashamed of being afraid of vaccinations.
