The Bear is confused and frightened by the "voice from nowhere," thinking the forest spirits are speaking to him. He rushes the basket to the village, where Masha’s relatives open it and rescue her.
In the Russian version, Masha was famously voiced by Alina Kukushkina
The most famous part of the old version is Masha's cunning escape. The Bear prepares a basket of pies to take to Masha’s grandparents. He tells Masha she cannot go, but she devises a plan.
