Trivia
In addition to the music of Gennadiy Gladkov, the film uses a musical composition that sounds during a ghost attack on crooks - the unremarkable melody "House of Horrors" by Merv Griffin (1962), performed by the Charles Grean Orchestra orchestra and composed in the twist rhythm of melodies from the "Dance of Death" by Saint-Saens and Chopin's funeral march.

RARENESS OF GOLDEN ART FROM SOVIET TIMES

To be able to appreciate how great this cartoon is, you need to understand the Russian language, perhaps also another cultural code prism that victims of totalitarian power possess, but the cartoon is brilliant, especially with the excellent voice acting of the actors and an unconventional, modern set of characters and values, as well as witty sarcastic humor that takes the characters created by A. Lindgren as a basis, yet breathes life into them with changes through the vision of the cartoon creators, a brilliant work, but perhaps not for everyone, I am not sure that the translation of it would be possible but if you understand or learn Russian this is a must for all fun lovin' youngsters as well as adults.
