The Bremen Town Musicians (Russian: Бременские музыканты, romanized: Bremenskiye muzykanty) is a 1969 Soviet musical animated short film produced by Soyuzmultfilm, directed by Inessa Kovalevskaya and written by Yuri Entin and Vasily Livanov, with music by Gennady Gladkov.[1][2][3] It is based on the characters of Brothers Grimm fairy-tale, "Town Musicians of Bremen". The film became a cult hit in the Soviet Union because of its memorable musical soundtrack, which contains influences from Western rock and roll music. Two sequels were made, On the Trail of the Bremen Town Musicians (1973) and The New Bremen Town Musicians (2000).
