Walt Disney, 1946

Main article: Peter and the Wolf (1946 film)

Disney's 1946 animated short.

Walt Disney produced an animated version of the work in 1946, with Sterling Holloway providing the voice of the narrator. It was released theatrically as a segment of Make Mine Music, then re-issued the next year, accompanying a re-issue of Fantasia (as a short subject before the film), then separately on home video in the 1990s.^[7] This version makes several changes to the original story, for example:

l        During the character introduction, the pets are given names: "Sasha" the bird, "Sonia" the duck, and "Ivan" the cat.

l        As the cartoon begins, Peter and his friends already know there is a wolf nearby, and are preparing to catch him.

l        The hunters get names in a later part of the story: "Misha", "Yasha" and "Vladimir".

l         Peter day-dreams of hunting and catching the wolf and exits the garden carrying a wooden "pop gun" rifle with the purpose of hunting the wolf.

l        At the end, in a reversal of the original (and to make the story more child-friendly), the narrator reveals that the duck Sonia has notbeen eaten by the wolf. Earlier in the film, the wolf is shown chasing the duck, who hides in an old tree's hollow trunk. The wolf attacks out of view, and returns in view with some of the duck's feathers in his mouth and licking his jaws. Peter, the cat, and the bird assume the duck has been eaten. After the wolf has been caught, the bird Sasha is shown mourning the duck. The duck comes out of the tree trunk at that point and they are happily reunited.

In Belle's Tales of Friendship, The Disney version of Peter and the Wolf is featured and narrated by Belle instead of Sterling Holloway.

This version of Peter and the Wolf was featured in Disney's House of Mouse, and characters from it appeared in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and an audio recording of this version with expanded narration by Sterling Holloway was released on Disneyland Records (DQ-1242). For one of his television programs, Disney recalled how Prokofiev himself visited the Disney studio, eventually inspiring the making of this animated version. Disney used an actor to re-create how the composer sat at a piano and played the themes from the score.

Russia, 1958

The Russian animation studio Soyuzmultfilm produced a version of the work in 1958. It is puppet stop motion animation, directed by Anatoly Karanovich and narrated by I. Medvedyeva. This version makes the following changes to the story:

l        In the beginning the bird sees the wolf in the forest and warns Peter's grandfather, who goes to get the hunters and tells Peter not to leave the fenced-in yard.

l        The cat, after failing to catch the bird and duck, goes to the forest to solicit the help of the wolf.

l        Peter picks up the duck and runs to safety, leaving the cat outside with the wolf.

l        The wolf, not being very particular, eats the cat.

This version has not been published much outside of the ex-USSR.

British-Polish coproduction, 2006

In 2006, Suzie Templeton and Hugh Welchman directed and produced respectively, a stop-motion animated adaptation, Peter and the Wolf. It is unusual in its lack of any dialogue or narration, the story being told only in images and sound and interrupted by sustained periods of silence. The soundtrack is performed by the Philharmonia Orchestra, and the film received its premiere with a live accompaniment in the Royal Albert Hall.^[9] The film won the Annecy Cristal and the Audience Award at the 2007 Annecy International Animated Film Festival,^[10] and won the 2008 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.^[11] This version makes some changes to the original Prokofiev story; for example:

l        Peter bumps into one of the "hunters" (teenage bullies in this telling) who throws him in a rubbish bin and aims at him with his rifle to scare him; the second hunter watches without interfering (thus, a dislike towards the hunter/bullies is immediately created).

l        Because of a broken wing, the bird has trouble flying and takes Peter's balloon to help it get aloft.

l        After Peter has captured the wolf in a net, the hunter gets him in his rifle's telescopic sight coincidentally, but just before shooting, the second hunter stumbles, falls on him and makes him miss the shot.

l        The caged wolf is brought into the village on a cart where Peter's grandfather tries to sell it. The hunter comes to the container and sticks his rifle in to intimidate the animal (as he did with Peter earlier on). At that time Peter throws the net on the hunter, who becomes tangled in it.

l        Before the grandfather has made a deal, Peter unlocks the cart after looking into the eyes of the wolf. They walk side by side through the awestruck crowd and then the freed wolf runs off in the direction of the silver moon shining over the forest.
