New projects
The Lviv production studio «Halychyna-Film» made the puppet animated series about the adventures of Kotyhoroshko. Ten episodes of ten minutes each were left to be voiced.

The idea to make a cartoon about a Ukrainian folklore hero arose two years ago when the studio began to put it into practice. The cartoon features all the traditional characters of the tale of Kotyhoroshko. Lviv artists made dolls and decorations, and the puppets were «led and played by actors of the Lviv theatre «People and Dolls». The series was filmed in a specially built mini-pavilion in the studio. The budget of the cartoon is unknown, and as Vasyl Bosovych said it was a «secret of the company».

Animated series about Kotyhoroshko are anticipated to be more modern and ironic than the puppet version. «It's just that the people who order it [the series] intend to sell this cartoon well,» added the head of the studio.

The studio director opened the curtain of another secret: «We are launching three more new projects - a feature film plus two more big projects on the way. These will be TV series, one of which is a melodrama against the backdrop of historical events (particularly about  Ukrainian Sich Riflemen). This series promises to be very interesting and has even secured reliable state and international support. In addition, we want to open an Animation School in Lviv».
