The film brought sisters Brumberg loud success and became a real event in the post-war cinema.
The original script by Mikhail Volpin and Nikolay Erdman, proposed for the production in 1947, was full-length, divided into two parts.
The humor of situations and the fantastic journey of a revived drawing man riding on an unknown eight-legged beast (also from children's drawings) made the film popular.
In the 2000s, the cartoon was released on DVD in the collections "Point, Point, Comma" and "True Friends".
With all the instructive naivety of the plot (the picture acted as the awakened conscience of the guilty schoolboy), the reception looked unusual and fresh at that time.
