“We’ve been working on this film for over five years. We wanted the make a story about a wolf turning into a sheep, a story that would be kind, funny, and would teach something good. Initially, there were two people working on the project, and by the end, there were over 200. We managed to build up an international team, which allowed us to make our film interesting for a large international audience”, – said the general producer Yury Moskvin.
