Released in 1986,[1] the film went on to win the Grand Prix at the Ottawa International Animation Festival in 1988[2] and in Los Angeles. Although the visual style is quite different, the story is mostly the same with the exception of some subtle changes — for example, the moose isn't shown rejoining his herd at the end and the squatter animals aren't stuffed and mounted. Also, none of the animals are ever named and there is no narrator. A turtle, a fox, fleas and 362 bees are absent from the moose's antlers in this film. The "bingle bug" from the original book is shown as a Colorado potato beetle. The film was directed by Alexei Karayev. The art director was Aleksandr Petrov,[3][4] who would later win an Oscar for his 1999 film The Old Man and the Sea. The screenplay was written by Yury Iosifovich Koval, a renowned author.
