What's left behind the scenes

Only after 'The Mystery of the Third Planet' was released on screens did the Institute of Oriental Studies learn who was hiding behind the pseudonym Kir Bulychev. Having published his first story in 1961, the writer feared for more than twenty years that he could be fired for such an unserious pursuit for a research associate.
Roman Kachanov was allowed to make a full-length animated film only because he was a star at 'Soyuzmultfilm' and the author of a series of cartoons about Cheburashka. For an ordinary director, this would have been practically impossible.
Sixteen years after the cartoon was released, Kir Bulychev wrote a story of the same name for younger children, which he published in 1997.
"The Mystery of the Third Planet" was sold for foreign distribution and enjoyed considerable success there. In the US, Kirsten Dunst voiced Alice, and James Belushi voiced the Governor.
Artist Natalia Orlova lived in the same apartment building as Kir Bulychev, and the writer served as the prototype for the character of Captain Green.

The production of the film lasted 4 years.
Artist Natalia Orlova drew Alice Selezneva based on her daughter – the future famous actress Ekaterina Semenova.
