The animated film Urfin Jus Returns, created by the Russian Mill studio, will be screened in the UK, South Korea, Bulgaria and a number of Latin American countries. The public display agreement was signed at the European Film Market in Berlin, TASS reports.

The sequel of the adventures of Urfin Jus and other characters of the animated fairy tale aroused great interest among the participants of the film market. 

The cartoon is based on a series of books by the Soviet writer Alexander Volkov about the Emerald City. The main character Ellie and her faithful dog Totoshka, as well as familiar characters of the Scarecrow, Ironman and others, confront the insidious Urifn Jus in his attempts to seize power in the city.

Dozens of Russian features and animated films, as well as TV shows, were presented at European Film Market, which is held as part of the Berlin International Film Festival.
