The actors of the film "Shaggy Christmas Trees" (2015) conquered all the audience with their vibrant game. This family comedy, which tells about the relationship of two dogs, is a spin-off of the picture "Christmas Tree 3".
After the third part became the most popular entertaining film of the year, it was decided to start shooting two sequels at once. So there camedies "Fir-trees 1914" and "Fir-tree shaggy".
The last film is a unique domestic film in which animals became the main characters.
The plot of the picture
It is noteworthy that the actors of the movie "Shaggy Christmas Trees" (2015) are not only people, but also funny dogs. Dogs Pirate and Yoko live with their mistress, schoolgirl Nastya, in Samara. The girl is sent for the New Year holidays in St. Petersburg, and the pets are settled in a special hotel for four-legged animals.
The hotel is run by two professional thieves, who thus find out which estates will be vacated for the holidays. Then they make a plan and are going to clean the houses of the rich. The choice falls on the mansion of Nastya's parents.
Dogs resist sending to the hotel, and once in it, quickly run away to freedom. They return home, where they dream of doing their favorite things. For example, there is everything in large numbers, to constantly play and doze in the master's bed. But at this time the robbers are already near their house.
Seeing strangers, smart dogs turn on the television so that thieves think that there is someone in the mansion.
At this time, Nastya runs away from her grandmother and returns home. She catches the moment when dogs and thieves enter the fray. Nastya, becoming an undesirable witness, is held hostage by the villains.
Thieves try to hide, but a dog comes to the rescue. A pirate attacks a van in which the owners of a dog’s hotel run away. He capsizes right next to the patrol car. The police detain the attackers, and Nastya, together with four-legged friends and parents, celebrates the holiday.
Four-legged actors
Among the actors of the movie "Shaggy Christmas Trees" (2015) there are dogs nicknamed Pirate and Yoko. Their love story is familiar to the audience from the painting "Christmas Trees 3".
The pirate is actually not a mongrel, as represented by the script of the film, but a representative of the Border Collie breed. In addition, this role was played by a dog named Aisa. She is already a well-known actress. She has accounted for at least thirty roles in domestic films.
Yoko plays a very small dog of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. Her name is Fammy. Unlike Aisa, she is new to cinema, but she still turned out to be capable. Prior to filming, Fammy passed an accelerated training course with experienced dog handler Alexander Stepanov. According to others, she successfully coped with her role.
Dog actors in the movie Shaggy Fir Trees (2015) are perhaps the most remarkable and beloved characters.
