Let the audience hear: the main secret of the film was revealed at the premiere of "The Adventures of the Baby Mammoth"
Philip Kirkorov became the King of banana pop, Vadim Galygin became a rapper, NILETTO became a Crocodile: on September 20, the secular premiere of Alexander Voitinsky's animated film "The Adventures of a Baby Mammoth" took place in Moscow at the "October" cinema. In search of Mom." The touching story, familiar to several generations of viewers, will soon appear in the cinema repertoire and will present an expanded version of the hero's journey from the Arctic to Africa. "Izvestia" was among the first viewers and tells us how the cartoon turned out.
The story of the baby mammoth
The eight-minute Soviet cartoon "Mama for a Baby Mammoth" has become a landmark for several generations of viewers. The plot was inspired by a news story that appeared in newspapers in 1977: during the development of a gold deposit in the Magadan region, a team discovered a fossil baby mammoth. Later, scientists determined that the baby's age was about six to seven months. Impressed, the writer Dina Nepomnyashchaya wrote a children's story in which the baby mammoth thawed and went in search of his mother.
In 2026, director Alexander Voitinsky took over the reinterpretation of this story. " """ He has worked on family films more than once, presenting the audience with such paintings as "Yaga on our head", "Flint" and "At the behest of the Pike". In the new project, Voitinsky and screenwriter Roman Nepomnyashchy faced a difficult task — to expand the original linear plot into an hour-long large-scale adventure.
— The original story is a parable, tiny but searing. First, a baby mammoth in the Arctic, and then in Africa. We don't know what was on the way. Therefore, the hands were untied in this sense. There are many adventures and twists in our history. The most difficult thing was to keep the spirit of the baby mammoth, the kindest naive creature. And I did it," Voitinsky told "Izvestia" before the show.
From rapper Puffin to Banana Pop King
In the new story, the baby mammoth Fluffy could not go in search of his mother alone, because there are dangerous adventures on the way. Shoulder to shoulder with him, although it would probably be more accurate to say "wing to shoulder", the cocky chick is a Dead End. He is a rapper who dreams of performing at an African talent show. Together, the heroes will cross the ocean on an ice floe to get to Africa. Voiced by Fuzzy's best friend Vadim Galygin. He has had dubbing experience in the past, and in "The Adventures of the Baby Mammoth" he also had the opportunity to work on musical material. By the way, there are a lot of songs in the cartoon.
— I am absolutely not a singer, especially not a rapper. I like to sing more than I can. I had to work here, it wasn't easy. It was necessary to meet the request of a young viewer: grandpa Vadim suddenly starts rapping — this is, say, a bold experiment. But I liked working with the material, you really feel like a novice artist," Galygin told "Izvestia" at the premiere. — The character Puffin is very kind. He decided that he wants to be a star, and goes to the dream, overcoming all obstacles. That's probably what real rappers do.
There were quite a few star faces among those who attended the premiere that day, and it was no coincidence. In addition to Galygin, other famous artists took part in the dubbing of the cartoon. Pelageya gave her voice to a baby mammoth's mother, Alexander Revva to a Flamingo, singer and blogger Gazan to a Lion, NILETTO to a Crocodile, and Yana Churikova to a Parrot, the host of a talent contest. Philip Kirkorov became the King of banana pop.
— A separate story was made up for him. She is very funny and quite satirical, caustic towards him. I was worried, but Kirkorov turned out to be a broad-minded man with a sense of humor. And he recorded it in one take. I didn't expect this, and it shocked me," the director emphasized in an interview with "Izvestia".
Kirkorov also surprised the audience of the premiere. From the stage of the premiere cinema hall "October", he literally proclaimed himself the King of banana pop and addressed the audience.
— Let everyone find their place, hear each other, and if you suddenly get scared, just remember: even a king can be scared sometimes. The main thing is not to be alone," said the performer.
One of the roles in the cartoon, a reporter monkey, was voiced by Kirkorov's daughter Alla-Victoria. The main intrigue was the name of the artist who gave voice to the main character, the baby mammoth. The authors of the project kept the information secret until the last moment, and only on the day of the premiere they reported that Fluffy was speaking in the voice of dubbing actress Alena Lyubimova.
The "Mammoth Song" is played in full meter, the music for which was written by composer Vladimir Shainsky and without which it is difficult to imagine history.
— The song touches on universal things. What's inside everyone," Igor, Dina Nepomnyashchey's son, told "Izvestia". — The fairy tale itself is very often reprinted. I think her main moral is that children are our main future. Therefore, they need to be given the most attention, and what happens next depends on them.
A new reading of the mammoth's story is not just a spectacular adventure. This is a touching story about friendship, love and kindness. The cartoon is released in Russia on October 1, distributor "NMG Film Distribution". The animated film will also be shown in cinemas in Romania and Vietnam.
