CHEBURASKA: BELOVED SOVIET FURBALL
CHEBURUSKA (1969), GENA THE CROCODILE (1971) and SHAPOKLYAK (1974)
Dir. Eduard Uspensky
USSR, TRT: 69min.
Just a regular story of a pipe-smoking, besuited Crocodile who posts a seeking roommate ad and pairs up with a creature that came out of a crate of oranges. The friendship of Cheburaska and Krokodil Gena flourishes into connections with other lonely souls, to the point where the duo feel obligated to build a clubhouse for them all. Based on children's stories by Upensky, this puppet-animation from Soyuzmultfilm Studios had a wide appeal with Soviet kids. The crocodile has a lovely singing voice, and at the end of the third episode he croons: even if giving up on the past is a bit sad, everything the best is still ahead like a carpet, like a carpet, a long road unrolls ahead.
