Cossacks

"Cossacks" is a series of animated short films created in Ukraine at the studio "Kyivnaukfilm" under the direction of filmmaker Volodymyr Dakhno. The first film was released in 1967, and since then, the characters Oko, Hrai, and Tur have become symbols of Ukrainian animation. The animated series tells the adventures of three Cossacks who find themselves in various situations, from cooking porridge to playing football and meeting aliens. Each episode begins with the phrase "How the Cossacks...," and all of them are collected in the DVD compilation "All About the Cossacks." With no dialogue, dynamic plots, and a unique style, these animations quickly gained popularity and even international recognition.
