MOSCOW, October 12. The cartoon “Smeshariki is making a movie” was released. This is an almanac consisting of four full-fledged stories, said Yulia Nemchina, general director of the Riki group of companies.

“All four parts were written by different screenwriters, and everyone contributed. We decided to do something unusual for fans in honor of the 20th anniversary of the project. The cartoon is suitable for viewing with the whole family. “For adults, there is a sense of humor,” said Nemchina.
Each short film has its own genre and references to famous projects including Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, White Desert Sun and Titanic. And Smeshariki acquired the features of the canonical characters of the cinematic universes, said the director of one of the parts, Dmitry Yakovenko.

“There is a certain element of parody. Even in «The Lord of the Rings» directors and screenwriters found room for laughter. For example, in one of the short films, Losyash is a collective image of Gandalf, Merlin, and Lord Raiden from Mortal Kombat. The hedgehog in one of the parts is present in the form of a Bard. He had no words, and he only played the lute: his language was music,” noted Yakovenko.
The script authors were Svetlana Mardagolimova («Bydydysh and Tweedledee»), Dmitry Yakovenko («Heroic Chronicles of Heroes» ), Denis Chernov and Sergei Lukyanenko (“Star Princess”), as well as Alexey Lebedev and Vadim Bochanov (“The Main Character”).
