Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Veronica Dilogy (comprised of Veronica and Veronica Returns) is a series of Romanian musical films released between 1972-1973 and directed by Elisabeta Bostan. The story follows Veronica, a charming and energetic little girl who lives in an orphanage somewhere in the mountains. On her fifth birthday, she receives a magic bag as a present from the Dandelion Fairy. With this magic bag, she can have all her wishes fulfilled - the only requirement is for Veronica to always behave well and share what she has with the other children.Unfortunately, the other orphans become a little grabby with the magic bag and Veronica refuses to relinquish it, which prompts the magical object to leave her. Distraught, she chases after it into the nearby forest, and encounters a whole magical world of talking animals who want to help her find her magic bag... or use her to their advantage.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In the sequel, Veronica's pet duck is stolen by the Fox, and she ventures to the forest again in hopes of rescuing it. On her journey, she encounters old friends and makes new ones. The musicals are notable for using many motifs found in fables and fairy tales, and for their detailed and imaginative sets. | |

Homeless Hero: The Cricket doesn't have a home, unlike the rest of the insects. He just sleeps in his hammock during the night. This gets him in trouble during the winter, as the ants kick him out of their hive for not having contributed with anything during summer. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Veronica Dilogy / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: The Teacher is fond of dishing out these. After discovering that Smaranda the Maid was telling bedtime stories to the children, she goes around the room and nitpicks at things (a window cracked open, Smaranda's dusty cleaning rags, even the way some children look at her) and fires her on the spot, leading to a crowd of distressed children begging her to reconsider. She also punishes Veronica, a five year old little girl, by cancelling her birthday celebration just because she was up past her bedtime, listening to stories with the other children. Fortunately, she relents in both cases and is shown to genuinely care about the children. | |

Opportunistic Bitch: The Fox practically operates on this. She wanders through the forest searching for food to steal. When she meets Veronica, she immediately grabs the chance to turn her into her thieving underling. During the fight between Aurel and Dănilă the Tomcat, she takes advantage of the chaos to steal Dănilă's sausages and leaves leisurely out the front door. | |

Agent Scully: Several children at the orphanage. One boy in particular doesn't believe in anything fantasy-related and comments often during Smaranda's stories, calling them fiction. Other girls doubt that Veronica's wish of flying would come true, even though they personally witnessed the Magic Bag fulfilling several wishes. | |
