Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors
Directed by Aleksandr IgudinNew Year's Eve special for kids inspired by the 1963 film The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors. A pair of twins enthused by a musical television program and dreaming of getting into show business leap into their TV and run around in the palace of King Tarrop the 77th, who is viewing numerous musical performances in his throne room, many involving campy ethnic stereotypes. It does not really follow the plot of the original film, and is primarily devoted to the musical performances (which include several songs in English, one in French, and one in Italian) but the eccentric characters are largely recognizable even without bearing a close resemblance to the originals.
