Uncle Stepa
About Uncle Stepa
The cartoon follows Sergey Mikhalkov's poem about the giant Uncle Styopa, friend of Moscow's children. It opens with Styopa in a cinema and the line telling him to sit on the floor, since it makes no difference to him. A new tenant, Stepanov S. S., then brings a housing order to the manager of house 8/1. Vladimir Suteev directed the Soyuzmultfilm short. The Russian Wikipedia also says the film uses Mikhalkov's poems "And What About You?" and "The Merry Tourist."
