Description:

A musically playful, absurd animation in which each Russian word in the title (Why, Camel, Orange) stands for a plot and tale of its own.

The three words of the Russian title are switched around and modified three times:

00:28 - Зачем верблюду апельсин?
Zachem verblyudu apelsin?
(WHY does the CAMEL need an ORANGE?)
- features a song asking WHY a giraffe has a long neck

02:52 - Верблюд зачем апельсину?
Verblyud zachem apelsinu?
(the CAMEL - WHY is it needed by the ORANGE?)
- features a song in which a horse asks what makes the CAMEL so special

05:47 - Верблюду зачем апельсин?
Verblyudu zachem apelsin?
(the CAMEL - WHY does he need an ORANGE?)
- features a song in which a little creature really wants an ORANGE that a rhinoceros has on its horn

And there's also a final song at 08:47.

Based on the lyrics of Eduard Uspenskiy and the Armenian poet/scriptwriter A. Vatyan, with music by Vladimir Nazarov, and performed by a folk music ensemble under his direction.

I know of no other Russian animation director whose work is so heavily influenced by camels.
