What's left behind the scenes

The premiere of the space-themed episode "Contact Established" took place in space. The first person to watch the episode was ISS Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin.
The animated series has been translated into more than 45 languages and is currently broadcast in almost every part of the world.
In 2019, the animated series entered the Guinness World Records as the most-watched cartoon on the platform, and it still holds the record today.
The fifth season became the first project in the history of Russian animated series to be produced in 4K resolution—a format previously used exclusively for full-length feature films from leading foreign studios.
