What happens
Cheburashka, also in English territories titled as Chebi: My Fluffy Friend (Russian: Чебурашка) is a 2023 Russian live-action animated children's comedy film directed by Dmitry Dyachenko. The film is an adaptation of the 1960s Eduard Uspensky's children's book Gena the Crocodile and His Friends, and its Soviet animated adaptation about the characters Gena the Crocodile and Cheburashka. The film stars Olga Kuzmina as the titular character along with Sergei Garmash, Fyodor Dobronravov, and Elena Yakovleva. The production for the film began as early as 2020, with filming beginning in early 2021 at the Sochi Arboretum. Cheburashka was theatrically released in Russia on January 1, 2023, by Central Partnership. The film grossed more than 225 million rubles on the first day of release, and 837 million rubles in the first three days. After fifteen days of release, the film had already earned over 4 billion rubles, making it the highest-grossing Russian film. It also became the first film to gross more than ₽5 billion. Cheburashka received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics and audiences. Critics highly praised its visual effects, but criticized its predictable story.
