distribution

The film Antoschka was made for the first episode of the Soviet-Russian animated film series The Merry Carousel (1969 to 2001). The episode consisted of four short films in which the cartoon characters Hare and Wolf , famous in the Soviet Union, appeared for the first time . The director Leonid Nosyrjew used the character of Antoschka in two further episodes of The Merry Carousel (No. 2, 1970, and No. 3, 1972). For all four of the main participants in the film, director, scriptwriter, composer and lyricist, the film was the beginning of a steep career in Soviet animation.

The song from the film gained additional fame when the early 1970s famous Russian choir boy Serjoscha Paramonow (1961–1998) performed with him. The exterior of the Antoschka was also a model for the female Russian clown of the same name, Antoschka .
