‘Funny & Deeply Moving:’ Director of Cheburashka 2 Reveals the Secret Behind Its SuccessDmitry Dyachenko set out to create a film that was smart, deeply moving, and genuinely funny—and that blend may well explain its box office triumph, he told Sputnik.“It’s also due to the undeniable popularity of Cheburashka himself,” Dyachenko said. “He existed long before us—we simply brought him to life again.”The beloved brown creature with oversized ears, drawn from a classic of Soviet children’s literature, has roared back onto the big screen, raking in 2.36 billion rubles (over $30 million) in its opening weekend alone.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
