I know no Russian, but the russian article ( ru:Крокодил Гена (мультфильм)) seems to list the release date as 1969, and IMDb lists it as 1971. Does anyone know why? -- Bensin ( talk) 22:47, 25 July 2009 (UTC) reply

Here links to the governmental film register of the Russian Ministry of Culture: Krokodil Gena (1969), Cheburashka (1971). The same dates at the E. Uspensky's (creator) webpage.

Most likely, it's an usual fault of the IMDb editors, that, as can see, often happens —  Al3xil  ✉ 02:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC) reply

OK. I copied your sources from the article about the character Cheburashka and inserted them here. Issue resolved. Thanks! -- Bensin ( talk) 19:51, 30 July 2009 (UTC) reply
