What's left behind the scenes
- During the early stages of production, there was a discussion about using real animals for the roles of Murka the cow and Gavryusha the calf. However, the creators later decided to implement the characters through animation to preserve the style and atmosphere of the original cartoons.
- A real village was built for the filming. The production designers were inspired by Russian architecture of the 1970s and 80s and created the houses by hand to achieve a believable fairytale feel.
- Some of the village houses were found in the Tver region. They were dismantled, transported, and rebuilt in the filming village with the addition of new elements.
- The characters' costumes in the film were completely recreated based on samples from the cartoon 'Three from Prostokvashino'. The artists carefully selected fabrics and details to maintain the 1970s atmosphere and convey the cozy aesthetic of the original.
