Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf also commonly known as Prince Ivan and the Grey Wolf (Russian: Иван Царевич и Серый волк, romanized: Ivan Tsarevich i Seriy volk) is a 2011 Russian animated film directed by Vladimir Toropchin.

[2][3] The young princess Vasilisa from a faraway kingdom is too enthusiastic about her education and she dreams of marrying out of love only.

Her father, an elderly king, not unfamiliar with intrigues, gives up in trying to get his daughter to "settle down".

Meanwhile, his minister, cunning and dexterous, but not very intelligent, under the influence of a living shadow-spirit with sin in half decides to steal the famous royal key from the secret storage.

And this man turns out to be a certain Ivan from the neighboring kingdom - a simple guy, hard-working and good-natured, who dreams of becoming a fireman.
