What happens
Go There, Don't Know Where (Russian: Поди́ туда́, не зна́ю куда́, romanized: Podi tuda, ne znayu kuda) is a 1966 Soviet feature-length cutout-animated film. Produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio, it was directed by Ivan Ivanov-Vano, widely regarded as the "Patriarch of Soviet animation." This film marked a rare venture into comedy for Ivanov-Vano. The movie is a comedic adaptation based on motifs of Russian folk tales, particularly the story Go I Know Not Whither and Fetch I Know Not What. The screenplay, written by renowned Soviet screenwriter Nikolai Erdman, is preserved in the archives of the State Central Cinema Museum (collection 17, inventory 1, storage unit 20).
