Cheburashka and Krokodil Gena it’s a classic! Cheburashka is probably the most adorable Russian character of any time. It's impossible not look at him and think "it’s so cute".
Cheburashka is funny little animal, unknown to science, who lives in the tropical forest. He accidentally gets into a crate of oranges, eats his fill, and falls asleep. Cheburashka is not a personal name; it is a species name invented by the puzzled director of the shop where he is found.
Cheburashka has a bear-like body and large round ears and is about the size of a 5-year-old child;. In the tale, he hangs around with a friendly crocodile Gena, who wears a hat and a coat, walks on his hind legs and plays an accordion. He works in a zoo as a crocodile.
In the cartoon, Cheburashka and Gena have their adventures made more difficult by a character named Old Lady Shapoklyak, from French Chapeau-Claque, a kind of top hat. Shapoklyak is a mischievous but charming old lady. She is tall and thin, wears a hat and a dark-colored dress, and carries around her as sidekick a rat-like creature — "Lariska" — in her purse to help her play pranks on people. The chorus of her theme song contains her motto, "One won't ever get famous for good deeds".
