Paper Doll Envelope

I saw these nice envelopes Marina made from a paper doll book pages... And I have got one of them!

Thursday Postcard Hunt | Young Animal

Thursday Postcard Hunt
March theme: ANIMALS

• Week 1 - In the Wild
• Week 2 - On the Farm
• Week 3 - Pets
• Week 4 - Young

-----------------------------------------------

Eduard (Russia) sent it by mail, but this is not a conventional postcard, and I am not even sure Чебурашка is a conventional animal (A bear cub? A hare with large ears? A monkey?). It was created by writer Eduard Uspensky in 1966 (I hope it does not mean he is not young any more!) as one of the main characters in the book Gena the Crocodile and His Friends and its sequels.

There are two versions: on the stamp, as he appeared in the cartoon Crocodile Gena in 1969, created with the direct participation of the film's production designer, Leonid Shvartsman. On the cardboard, as it was reimagined for the 2023 film.
