The film itself is decently well-done despite the obviously very limited resources used to create it. It really highlights, though, how great the difference in production values could be between the central studios in Moscow and more regional and amateur productions. Around this time is when new animation studios were being founded in the capitals most of the other Soviet Republics, and they seem to have actually had decent resources. They always used colour film stock, for one thing. But this did not apply to the city of Perm. The studio this actually most reminds me of is the People's Film Studio of the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute. Their earliest (apparently) film was also made in the same year, and is a bit similar in how it was made.
