Description:

The little boy Ott accidentally ends up on a rocket going out into space, and discovers that there are consequences to not studying his school work.

Inspired by Yuriy Gagarin's 1961 pioneering space flight, this story of a D-student's adventures in outer space reportedly became popular not just in the USSR but also beyond its borders.

The rocket's launches were filmed in live action with a model rocket.

It was originally released in Estonian and also in Russian (with the dialogues and title/credits translated, but not the Estonian texts in the film itself). The video above is actually a mixture of the Estonian image with the Russian dub (the version with the Russian credits can be seen here, but the image quality is much worse).

Awards:
1963 - I festival of films of aeronautics and astronautics in Deauville (France)
1964 - I All-Union Film Festival (Leningrad): 1st prize for cartoons

 

DISCUSSION

This is a pretty silly film. The Flight to the Moon from 8 years earlier shows spaceflight way more realistically. But I think maybe the Estonians just liked portraying space in a very silly way - all of their sci-fis that I've seen so far are kind of like this.
