The animated film is based on the poem of the same name in three acts "Forest Song" by Lesya Ukrainka. The play was written in 1911 in the city of Kutaisi, and was first staged on November 22, 1918 at the Kyiv Drama Theater. The work is one of the first prototypes of fantasy in Ukrainian literature.

Such a stunning international trailer! Will this movie see a Nordic/Scandinavian release as well? I would love to see it here in Norway! 🤩😍

[@SergiyYu]

In the summer of last year, there was news that this animated film was also sold to Scandinavian countries. That is, most likely, information about the release date in your country is only a matter of time.

[@DidrickNamtvedt]

@@SergiyYu Awesome, I'll be on the lookout for the release date here! :)

[@SergiyYu]

Yes, I think the release date for many countries is not yet agreed, or the local dubbing of the animated film is not finished or something. The video description has a link to the social network where the news can also be. And yet, it is possible that KZbin will show you the trailer in your language in the recommended videos when it appears.

[@FILMUAGroup]

We are working on it, we want Mavka to be distributed internationally so that as many people as possible all over the world could see the animated feature. We have already got some arrangements with international distributors but at this stage we can’t disclose the première dates in other countries. Please follow our updates.

The original folktale was about a forest siren who would lure you in with a beautiful song and then tickle you to death. Interesting basis for a kids movie.

[@Defiant1940]

Getting a strong 'Ferngully: The Last Rainforest' vibe here, and that's no bad thing, because I liked that movie a lot.

[@yevheniyav1438]

I'm fascinated with Mavka. It's a marvellous fairy-tale based on the Lesya Ukrainka's drama. Wonderful Ukrainian costumes, genuine dances and heartful singing. Beautiful and ancient Volyn wildwoods, virgin nature and magical willow. The cartoon is rich in symbolism. It addresses the issues of human influence on nature, female leadership, struggle of good and evil, vital role of emotions. Highly recommended cartoon! The Ukrainian myth come true! Still now.
