The Flying Ship (1960) 

The film “The Flying Ship” was released in 1960 and was directed by Mikhail Yuferov and Artur Voitetsky from a script by Anatoly Shiyan at the Alexander Dovzhenko Film Studio. The film premiered on November 13, 1960. The children's film was shot using technology that had just been mastered by the Dovzhenko Film Studio using American Eastman-color film from the Eastman Kodak company. All scenes of the film were filmed on sound stages.
The film tells about the Ukrainian national hero, the winner over evil - Kotigoroshka. His character traits are still valuable today: resilience, ingenuity, loyalty, family values ​​and, most importantly, unearthly strength. Kotigoroshko also teaches us to forgive, despite all disagreements. The fairy tale is also interesting because it encourages the search for additional information, analogies in history and instills in children a love of studying history and folk mythology.
Kotigoroshko goes in search of his sister Alenka, who was kidnapped by the Serpent. The Cossacks forged a sword for the boy, gave him living water and led him on a long journey. Kotigoroshko flew to the snake kingdom on a flying ship. He defeated the Snake, revived his sister, freed all the slaves and returned to his native land.
