The studio was founded in 1936 by the Soviet government as a way to promote socialist propaganda through animation. The early years of Soyuzmultfilm were marked by a number of political and artistic controversies, as many of the studio’s artists were opposed to the government’s strict censorship policies. However, the studio’s fortunes began to change in the 1950s, when it began to produce a number of highly successful and popular cartoons.

The studio’s most successful period was undoubtedly the 1970s and 1980s, when it produced some of its most iconic and beloved films. Among the most popular of these films were “The Adventures of Captain Vrungel”, “The Bremen Town Musicians”, and “The Snow Queen”. These films not only captured the imaginations of Russian children, but also gained international acclaim, winning a number of awards at film festivals around the world.

In recent years, Soyuzmultfilm has faced a number of challenges, including a decrease in government funding and the retirement of many of its veteran animators. However, the studio remains an important part of Russian culture, and continues to produce new and innovative cartoons that are loved by children and adults alike.
