The Ukrainian-made animated series “The Adventures of Kotygoroshko and his Friends” was released in 2014. The story of Kotygoroshko, which was familiar to our great-grandmothers, has received a new life thanks to the creative direction of Yaroslava Rudenko-Shvedova. This is an interesting and exciting story about the travels of Kotygoroshko and his friends, who find themselves in various dangerous situations.
This animated series will appeal to viewers of any age, because it intertwines the ancient traditions of East Slavic culture and modern elements. Each episode introduces characters known from folk tales and legends, but it does not repeat the plots of existing cartoons. Kotygoroshko meets new friends on his way and overcomes difficulties together with them. One of these friends is Udod — his talking companion, who, although arrogant, often saves Kotygoroshko, demonstrating true devotion.
The characters in the series have clearly defined personalities and unique external features. Taking into account the preferences of modern youth, they received superpowers that are perfectly combined with folk motifs. Visually, the animated series is extremely attractive: bright colors, detailed characters and magnificent landscapes create a harmonious and beautiful picture. Hand-drawn computer animation looks no worse than Hollywood blockbusters.
If you want to immerse yourself in a magical world with your children and enjoy the fun adventures of colorful heroes, this animated series is exactly what you need.
