​

"Зверек-коробка" is a story based on Eduard Uspensky’s children’s book character Cheburashka, most famous through a series of short films made at the Soviet animation studio Sojuzmultfilm (1969–1983). In the first of these films Cheburashka meets a crocodile called Gena and together with other lonely animals they build a House of Friendship. In "Зверек-коробка" the House of Friendship is dilapidated and the Cheburashka seeks refuge in a cardboard box. The book was published as part of the exhibition "TV Trampoline".
