Made just before the Germany attacked the Soviet Union, this film is an adaptation of a children’s poem by Ivan Krylov, shown via a Soviet imitation of Disney’s animation style. A traveling circus brings an elephant through a town, which gives a pug the perfect opportunity to show everyone how tough he is.
