Probably, each of our compatriots at least once in their life watched the magnificent cartoon "The Secret of the Third Planet" - we met the characters and fell in love with them from childhood. But still, to tell in more detail about each of them, and at the same time to point out the differences in the cartoon and the book will be quite useful.
The crew of "Pegasus"
The main characters of "Secrets of the Third Planet" - the crew of the interstellar ship "Pegasus".
First of all, this is Alisa Selezneva - a girl who is devoted to a series of magnificent books written by Soviet writer Kir Bulychev. Cheerful, fearless and cheerful - a typical teenager of his time. With difficulty he persuades his father to take her on a trip, the purpose of which is to collect rare animals for the zoo.
Professor Igor Seleznev - Alice's father, a cosmobiologist and director of the Moscow Zoo - one of the best created by mankind. Here you can see animals from various planets. It is in order to replenish the zoo with new rare species that the professor goes on a trip to various planets. Father is quite soft, allows her daughter to be naughty a lot, rarely scolds for petty hooliganism.
Filidor Zeleny is the captain of the Pegasus ship, who also plays the role of a mechanic, as he is well versed in technology. One of the most colorful characters in "Secrets of the Third Planet". The book also included the crew of Gennady Poloskov, who was the captain. However, when creating the cartoon, it was decided to reduce the number of secondary characters, therefore, in Zeleny they combined two roles. He is distinguished by pessimism, constantly expects some troubles, does not believe in luck.
Three captains
The book featured precisely three illustrious captains, known for their many dangerous journeys to the farthest corners of the universe. But when creating the cartoon "Mystery of the Third Planet" characters there are only two. However, the audience did not notice this. By the way, the book only knows the name of one captain - Vsevolod. The names of others are not voiced at all. Well, but you can’t say that the creators of the cartoon misinterpreted the names.
Captain Buran travels on the Everest spacecraft.
Captain Kim is the owner of the talker bird, who remembered the owner’s voice, thereby helping the Pegasus crew save him. Travels on the ship "Blue Gull".
Pirates
What is a space adventure without villains? Here, their role was taken by pirates who dreamed of finding out the formula of top-secret fuel from captain Buran. Used robots as a shock force.
Veselchak U is a humanoid, physically resembling a very fat man, in appearance more resembling a well-fed piglet. Malevolent, cowardly and extremely hypocritical. He tried to trick Alice and her father, after capturing the villains, managed to get rid of the rope and escape. However, Croc was caught by a huge bird of prey and carried away. His further fate is unknown.
Gulp - also known as Rats. Head of a pirate gang. According to the book is an alien, more like a huge insect. In the cartoon, he appeared in the guise of a humanoid, very similar to earthling, only with blue skin, irregular facial features and a huge mouth. He is well versed in the intricacies of disguise - for a long time he pretended to be Dr. Verkhovtsev, because of which the Pegasus crew ceased to trust that.
Other characters
Of course, the most colorful of the characters in "Secrets of the Third Planet" was Gromozeka. Although its appearance is not at all similar to that described in books. If you read the stories "Purple Ball" and "Alice's Birthday", you can find out that it looks like a mixture of an octopus and an elephant, twice as many as a man, has eight eyes, ten tentacles. In the cartoon, he became more humanoid, but with six arms. Moreover, apparently, he is a cyborg, as he has a spacesuit that allows him to fly in space without a spacecraft, and instead of his eyes he has a camera. He comes from the planet Chumaroz, and by profession, surprisingly, an archaeologist. Kind and faithful to friends, ready for them, without hesitation, to risk their lives.
Govorun is an amazing bird native to the planet Bluk. Alas, the last of its kind. All the rest were destroyed by space pirates. It is able not only to memorize and pronounce phrases of people in time, but also to fly in space.
