Story & key events
Plot details and spoilers ahead.
The story descriptions below follow the licensed platform’s published synopsis. A synopsis may stop before the final gag; the archive does not invent a resolution that the source does not reveal. Lore commentary explains the episode’s premise and relationships rather than claiming unseen scenes.
Place in the world
The new Russian animated series turns friendship into a daily service: Gena and Cheburashka open a Bureau of Good Deeds, while Shapoklyak counters with bad deeds. The familiar town acquires new neighbours and small problems to solve. This CGI continuity is distinct from both the four Soviet puppet films and the human Gena’s live-action world.
Episode titles are the stable identifiers here. START’s order omits the two winter specials, while broadcast-oriented lists count them as episodes 11 and 12. Consequently later numbers differ by two. This archive keeps the winter stories separate and links to the relevant platform page instead of treating those numbering differences as new episodes.
