The picture was presented to the audience by its creators. Polina Maksimova, Elena Yakovleva, Fedor Dobronravov, Sergei Lavygin, Dmitry Lysenkov and other actors starred in the comedy.

In the new version, Cheburashka comes from a distant orange country to a quiet seaside town, where he has to find a name, friends and a home. They will help and hinder him in this an old gardener, a strange fashionista aunt and his capricious granddaughter, a child who will not begin to speak in any way, and his mother, who has a hard time.

– This is a fictional and imaginary story that takes place in a certain coastal city, where unusual events and even miracles occurred, – said Sergey Garmash, – Our message is incredibly simple: “Guys, let’s live together.”
The shooting of “Cheburashka” took place on the Sochi embankment, in Kislovodsk and Pyatigorsk, in the Arboretum park and orange groves. Polina Maksimova said that during the filming she did not always have to play on the court with her colleague Olga Kuzmina in the image of Cheburashka. Sometimes she would just imagine an animated character and throw lines into the void.

At the premiere, Olga appeared in a spectacular red-orange cardigan, which she accessorized with matching accessories: an orange belt and a bag. This choice of color details is clearly not accidental, because the actress voiced Cheburashka, a well-known lover of oranges.

But Elena Yakovleva, challenging her heroine, came in a completely different way. On the set, the couturiers dressed the actress in the latest fashion, pretentiously and sometimes extravagantly. Yakovleva came to the cinema in a comfortable large knitted cardigan and black trousers.
