An interview with Sergei Garmash reveals that director Dmitry Dyachenko intends to release a short film featuring Cheburashka. In the conversation, Garmash explained that the team behind the feature film Cheburashka has drafted a script for a potential sequel.

Their performances helped bring the beloved character to life and contributed to the film’s broad appeal across generations.
Additionally, on August 21, during City Day celebrations in Kapan, residents witnessed a screening of Cheburashka hosted by the Russian House in Armenia. This appearance underscored the film’s regional reach and the ongoing interest in Cheburashka’s adventures among international audiences. The event exemplified how the character continues to cross cultural borders and captivate viewers beyond its initial release markets.
