- Highest Grossing Russian Animation Ever at the Russian Box Office
From the producers of the enormously popular animation trilogy featuring Russian epic heroes comes a tale that mixes Russian folklore with modern popular culture and hilarious slapstick humour. Once upon a time, there lived a princess, Vasilisa. She was smart and beautiful but she didn’t want to get married. She wanted to keep studying. But the King, her father, insisted on marriage and decided in a fit of rage that she would marry the first person that passed by. This happened to be Ivan, a wannabe fireman from the neighboring kingdom who just happened to be flying by. He too doesn’t want to get married. But the King insists and forces Ivan to go to the I-know-not-where kingdom and look for I-know-not-what. Ivan undertakes an enormous test of courage as he tries to overcome incredible mythical obstacles from Russian folklore in his search for the unobtainable. But with the help of a ferocious talking grey wolf and his new animal friends, Ivan embraces the quest in order to return to his beloved Vasilisa.
