About Shapoklyak
Gena the Crocodile and Cheburashka decide to go to the sea on vacation. Shapoklyak steals their train tickets, so they are kicked off the train. On their way home, the duo, with Shapoklyak's help, stops hikers from poaching and a factory from polluting a river.
Directed by Roman Kachanov, Shapoklyak leans on a strong ensemble — Vasiliy Livanov, Klara Rumyanova, Irina Mazing — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 1974.
