Stop motion film featuring Soviet favorite characters Gena Crocodile and Cheburashka.

The title sequence depicting the wheat pasting of posters with the names of the animation team is clever and charmingly executed. Each lettering lock-up is unique.

Link to the animation is below. Second link has translations.

The creator of the beloved character Cheburasha is E. Uspenski.
