Adventures of Captain Wrongel^[1] (Russian: Приключения капитана Врунгеля, translit. Priklyucheniya kapitana Vrungelya) is a 1976–1979 Soviet cutout/traditional animation adventure miniseries by David Cherkassky, Kievnauchfilm, loosely based on the novel with the same name by Andrey Nekrasov [ru]. The series consists of 13 episodes, of which 1–3 were animated/filmed in 1976, 4–6 in 1977, 7–9 in 1978, and 10–13 in 1979.

The book by Nekrasov was first published in the Pioneer magazine in 1937 (shortened, in the form of a comic). A full text publication was issued in 1939. The novel is a parody of the popular sailor tales of the 1930s and of stereotypes, then prevalent in the Soviet Union, of foreigners and foreign countries. The film received awards at Yerevan all-union film festival and the Czechoslovakia international TV film festival. The songs and music were performed by the soloists' ensemble of the State Symphony Orchestra of the UkSSR, conducted by N. Basov.^[2]
