IMDb profile

Three from Buttermilk Village (Russian: Трое из Простоквашино; tr.: Troye iz Prostokvashino) is a 1978 Soviet animated film based on the children's book "Uncle Fyodor, His Dog, and His Cat" (Дядя Фёдор, Пес, и Кот) by Eduard Uspensky. The film has two sequels, "Vacation in Buttermilk Village" (Каникулы в Простоквашино) (1980) and "Winter in Buttermilk Village" (Зима в Простоквашино) (1984).

The main character is a six-year-old boy who is called Uncle Fyodor (voiced by Mariya Vinogradova) because he is very serious. After his parents don't let him keep Matroskin (voiced by Oleg Tabakov), a talking cat, Uncle Fyodor leaves his home. With the dog Sharik (voiced by Lev Durov), the three set up a home in the country, a village called "Buttermilk" (Простоквашино, from Russian Простоквашa, buttermilk). There, they have many adventures, some involving the local mailman, Pechkin (voiced by Boris Novikov).
