‘Gena the Crocodile’ is a 1969 Russian stop-motion animated film produced by Soyuzmultfilm studio. The film is based on Eduard Uspensky’s book ‘Crocodile Gena and His Friends’.
Gena the Crocodile works as a crocodile in a zoo. He is kind but very lonely, so he decides to make friends. He posts advertisements all around the city and receives responses from a girl named Galya with a homeless puppy Tobik, and Cheburashka – a big-eared animal unknown to science who came to the city in a crate of oranges.
The viewers were so fond of clumsy Cheburashka that the film became iconic, and the character gained popularity worldwide.
The animated film was directed by Roman Kachanov, who also wrote the script together with Eduard Uspensky. Gena the Crocodile was voiced by Vasily Livanov, and Cheburashka – by Klara Rumyanova.
