It was on YouTube but since Soyuzmultfilm had been plundering or pillaging youtube channels other than their own, it had disappeared. I tried looking elsewhere, but I don't know where I can find it so I can watch it again.

I first saw this cartoon on an episode of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, (one of my many favorite PBS shows,), which was about differences (the scene was that Mr Rogers and the mailman Mister McFeely watched different kids shows from other countries, and they showed an episode of Good night Little ones with this cartoon as the cartoon for the episode (later that year Mr Rogers went to the USSR, to guest star on the show and Tatyana Vedneeva, the host of Good night Little ones, went to visit on Mr Rogers show)
After seeing that episode, I tracked this film down and I found an English voiceover of the cartoon, which I wrote down the dialog, I sent it to Eus, which he uploaded.
I hope those of you who see this film enjoy it.

This one really surprised me.
About the only thing I wish had been done differently is the music in the introductory scene with the spirits tormenting the boy - that really should have been traditional percussive Japanese music.
Other than that, I think it's a little masterpiece.

I think I'm not really convinced by this film as a concept. Some interesting ideas in there, but... well, it's a pretty polemical poem and is about a pretty brutal, unforgiving time period. And those nuances are just kind of glossed over - but in the process, the victory of the pro-revolution "good guys" who are portrayed as gentle artists becomes unbelievable. Maybe it's just me.

Thanks for the thanks. :) I like those films as well. Although my favourite film by Karayev is probably The Lodgers of an Old House (though it's very close).
Yes, I had hoped that the site would also be useful for people studying the language. If you go to Browse>Films, you can filter the list of films to include only those that have Russian subtitles, and then switch back and forth between Russian and English as you watch.
And you can also sort the list of films by "Wordiness" depending on how dense you want the dialogue to be (I'm not entirely sure how useful that is, but it was possible to do and kind of neat, so I figured, why not?)

Thank you for posting this! I just discovered Russian animation as of late, and I've been getting myself back into studying Russian as a language, so having a site like this has been a big joy to me. This film, Welcome 1986, and The Painted Fox are already huge favorites of mine. Thank you and to every user here for all the work you do! <3

The puppets look nice, but I think both the characterization and the screenplay in this one are too cartoony for me - the characters just don't feel real.

I really like this one. And the whole concept of trying to reach the sun on foot is a great self-parody, one that many artistic people should recognize.

A children's cartoon, quite different from the director's more adult-oriented ones. Nothing wrong with the concept or animation, but it bugs me that he was quite obviously unaware of what noises the instruments make; the "trumpet" sounds like a valved trombone, the "English oboe" sounds like a muted trumpet, the "triangle" sounds like a suspended cymbal. Also, IMO the sounds are sometimes too obviously artificial.
