Я хоть из России из Краснодарского края. Хочу чтобы эта война быстрее закончилась. И ваше произведение искусства вышло на большие экраны. Оно очень мне понравилось с первого трейлера! Терпения вам, здоровья. И пусть хранит вас господь!!! Я изначально против любых войн ибо они наносят огромный ущерб природе и забирают много человеческих жизней. Они бессмысленны и беспощадны..

[@diprosla592]

You and those who are against Putin Barbaric teroristic regime SHOULD RISE UP AND CAUSE HIS WAR TO STOP. "LETS SPREAD THE WORD, SAVE YOUR COUNTRYS FUTURE, Now its time To END THE PUTINS REGIME, make russia a democratic country 👍 SLÁVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦

[@diprosla592]

Show Putin that He is nothing, OVERTHROW his GOVERMENT, we have achieved peacefull removal of Comunism in 1989 in Czechoslovakia 🇨🇿, now its time for RUSSIANS to do the same, its your BEST AND LAST CHANCE. Use it! 👍

[@diprosla592]

[@KatisWritingStill]

I have been watching out for this for many years. My background is Ukrainian and My grandma died in 2018 almost right after this movie started up and she was the one who was excited. She spoke Ukrainian she was born there and she would have loved this film. I pray for love protection and hope above all else during these times and I for one will be going to see it in theaters as I have been excited to see a story from home. Peace above all else is a message worth fighting for. It is amazing how hard and brilliantly you guys have fought for Mavka. Love from Canada

[@SergiyYu]

In Canada, Mavka will be released in cinemas. Now that's for sure.

[@KatisWritingStill]

@@SergiyYu will it really? When is it's theater release! I want to take my girls so they can get in touch with their culture.

[@SergiyYu]

Herzlichen Dank für Ihre Arbeit! Gerade zu heutigen Zeiten ist es extrem wichtig, der ganzen Welt zu zeigen, wie begabt Ukrainer sind. Ruhm der Ukraine!!

[@jamessneish]

Love and kindness WILL always win. Eventually. In the mean time we must protect the forest. Today it’s your forest, tomorrow it could be any of our forests. I was introduced to your work today by a daughter of your country. Please know that Great Britain stands beside you even if it may seem that you stand alone.

ви великі молодці😢🤍 дякую вам що працюєте задля того щоб українська культура продовжувала жити у мистецтві навіть у такий важкий час🤍 зараз мене назвуть ботом лише через те що мені подобається цей мультфільм всім серцем хоч він ще не вийшов, але я хочу це сказати... мені подобається ваш дизайн, це дійсно схоже на те що ми бачимо в карпатських лісах, палітра чудова і насичена, я бачила відео де знімали Україну дроном і мене дуже здивувало те наскільки моя країна може бути різнобарвною (сама я в поліссі живу, саме в тій частині де дерева більш темні і багато річок з кар'єрами тому у мене дух перехоплює коли бачу красу України), дуже хочу щоб війна скоріш закінчилась і ви могли висвітлити свій проект всьому світові🤍🤍🤍

[@Rellana1]

Respect from Australia. It's amazing how you can produce such a feature movie,when your country is in a state of war.

[@_evromoney_2119]

made in Ukraine 👍😎 молодці дякую

[@mizumikamishiru4599]

I just wished it can be shown to the world right now , what's happening in Ukraine is really heartbreaking. People needs to see the message of this movie 🙏🙏

[@AJ-Lohinska]

If no one has said how wonderful you all are; I say it now. I pray each day for protection for all Ukrainians. I pray for MAVKA team. I pray for the safety of the 4 who are defending your lands at the front line especially. Your resilience is truly remarkable, it has been so very traumatic and painful for you there. Natalia, I understand you when you say you will never forget what you have seen - I pray with the passing of time and when Ukraine wins, that many new positive memories can be made to help light the way for you on your life path. Please hold on and keep strong. The spirit of Ukraine *is* within you all, I can see that deep in your eyes. That might sound easy for me to say from a distance, but I saw the same spirit in my father's eyes for the remainder of his long life after he'd finished being a frontline soldier; defending his homeland, Ukraine. Allow yourselves to cry but also to laugh and smile when you can. Never let the enemy steal those from you, nor the love you have in your hearts. They are yours to keep forever, they might be behind a veil at times, but they are yours; forever. I am sitting here in amazement at how dedicated to your MAVKA you are all being. Thank you for everything you are doing. This video made me tingle from top to toe. These darkened days will soon fade... and... There will be a willow basket, full of fruit and colourful flowers, carried over the woman's arm on a beautiful sunny day. ...........................🪶 Це написано в зірках💫

I completely agree! I pray you win Ukraine from the USA

A heartfelt thank you for this beautiful film. There were so many messages to be gained from it. You are all heroes using art as a way to convey important messages such as the need for love and kindness, to be aware of fear mongering, manipulation, brainwashing and propaganda. Humans of choices. It was most enjoyable to watch.
