Russian Shrek

Let's take nice but not too smart hero, give him a talking horse, send him on long and dangerous journey and make a funny animated film about it. Many people will probably say 'But that's Shrek'. Well, yeah - this movie is pretty much the Russian version of Shrek. It's based upon the same concept, it contains many characters and places from both Russian fairy tales and history and it's all put together in quite funny way.

If you want to know few thing about Russian culture or you know it already and want to see it put in a different way or you're curious how Shrek would look like, if it was made by Russians or if you simply want to see a funny animated movie, then Alesha Popovich i Tugarin Zmey will not disappoint you.
