The first version of the characters and the idea from the universe was invented by a married couple of creative young people. At that time, the name «Smeshariki» did not exist. They called the animals «Slastenami».
There was no question of a cartoon either. The creators intended them as characters from a board game.
«Parents» of «Smeshariki» moved to St. Petersburg and began offering their characters to confectionery factories.
They were mostly rejected, but the concern «Babaevsky» decided to give «Slastenami» a chance and released a board game with the same name.
The author group of «Slasten» grew and there were thoughts of creating an animated movie based on the universe of funny animals.
The studios were not thrilled with the idea either, but eventually the Petersburg studio gave the heroes a chance. This is how the path of the cartoon «Smeshariki» began.

What can be the most important thing in creating a new life? The Smeshariki series of the same name tells us about it.
In this episode, Losyash resents the way Pin's robot Bebe treats his creator. He doesn't come and doesn't let him know about himself, which makes Pin suffer a lot, because he treats him like his own son.
Moose wants to prove to Pin that attachment to his parent is the most important thing and creates a creature out of clay. He makes attachment to his creator the main quality of his golem.
In the end, he himself is not happy that the clay creature follows him everywhere and everywhere and cannot exist without its creator. Fortunately, it suddenly starts to rain, the clay soaks away and there is no trace of Losyash's creation.
And Pin and Moose realize that the main thing in the creature's consciousness is precisely independence. After all, it must go its own way and live its own life.

«Smeshariki» shows us that history is written by people. And each of them has a different view of the facts.
In this series, the characters try to write the history of their valley by themselves. But as a result, they realize that the story looks different for each of them. Moreover, many facts contradict each other.

This series teaches us that we choose whether or not to be angry. The next time you are accidentally pushed on the subway or stepped on in an elevator, just think: do you want to be angry?
5. «One-way ticket.»
What do you think is most important on the road? The journey itself or the end goal? This is the philosophical question our heroes ponder in this series.
The heroes build a circular railroad, but Krosh resents that it makes no sense, because it goes around in circles all the time. He buys a one-way ticket and finds himself far from home.
With great effort, Krosh returns back to his friends and comes to the conclusion that the most important thing on the journey is the possibility of returning home.
