In Soviet times, the studio was also renowned for its children's films. Its first project was a co-production with Soyuzmultfilm in 1963 – a stop motion feature film called Attention! The Magician is in the City![7] Consistent animated film production, however, did not begin until 1972. The studio has to date made 131 animated films.[8]
