Storyline

Peter, a young boy, lives with his grandfather in the Russian countryside. One day Peter leaves the garden gate open, and the duck takes the opportunity to go swimming on the nearby pond. She starts arguing with a little bird ("What kind of bird are you if you can't fly?" - "What kind of bird are you if you can't swim?"). A cat sneaks up on them, and the bird – warned by Peter - flies into a tall tree.

Peter's grumpy grandfather takes him back into the garden and locks the gate in case the wolf comes. Shortly afterwards the wolf does indeed come out of the woods. The cat climbs into the tree, but the duck, who has left the pond, is swallowed by the wolf.

Peter fetches a rope and climbs over the garden wall into the tree. He asks the bird to fly around the wolf's head, while he lowers a noose and catches the wolf by his tail.

Hunters come out of the woods and fire at the wolf, but Peter stops them. Everyone leads the wolf to the zoo in a triumphant procession. At the end one can hear the duck quacking in the wolf's stomach, "because the wolf had swallowed her alive."

Adaptations of the work

Disney's 1946 animated short.

It was released theatrically as a segment in Make Mine Music, then separately on home video in the 1990s on. ^[1] This version makes several changes to the original Prokofiev story, for example:

• During the character introduction, the pets are given names: "Sasha" the bird, "Sonia" the duck, and "Ivan" the cat.
  
• As the cartoon begins, Peter and his friends already know there is a wolf nearby, and are preparing to catch him.
  
• The hunters' theme is not mentioned and the hunters also get names at a later point in the story: "Misha", "Yasha" and "Vladimir".
  
• Peter day-dreams of hunting and catching the wolf and exits the garden carrying a wooden rifle with the purpose of hunting the wolf down.
  
• At the end, in a complete reversal of the original, it turns out that the duck has not been eaten by the wolf. (The wolf is shown chasing the duck that hides in a tree's trunk. The wolf attacks -out of view- and returns in view with some of the ducks feathers in his mouth. Peter, the cat and the bird assume the duck has been eaten. After the wolf has been caught, the bird is shown mourning the duck. The duck comes out of the tree trunk at that point and they are happily reunited).

In 1958, a television special entitled Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf, starring, naturally, Art Carney, along with the Bil Baird Marionettes, was presented by the American Broadcasting Company, and was successful enough to have been repeated a year later. The show boasted an original storyline in which Carney interacted with some talking marionette animals, notably the wolf, who was the troublemaker of the group. This first half was presented as a musical, with adapted music from Lieutenant Kije and other Prokofiev works which had special English lyrics fitted into them. The program then segued into a complete performance of Peter and the Wolf, played exactly as written by the composer, and "mimed" by the marionettes.

• Peter bumps into one of the hunters who throws him in a garbage bin and aims at him with his rifle to scare him; the second hunter watches on not interfering (thus, a dislike towards the hunters is immediately created).
• The bird seems to have trouble flying and Peter ties a balloon to help the bird lift.
• After Peter has captured the wolf in a net, the hunter gets him in his rifle's visor coincidentally, but just before shooting his fellow hunter stumbles, falls on him and makes him miss the shot.
• The wolf is brought in the village where Peter's grandfather tries to sell him. The hunter comes to the container and sticks his rifle in as to intimidate the animal (like he did with Peter earlier on). At that point Peter throws the net on the hunter who gets all tangled up.
• Before the grandfather has made a deal, Peter opens the container after exchanging glances with the wolf and they walk side-to-side through the crowd and then the wolf runs off in the direction of the silver moon.
