Kikoriki. Legend of the Golden Dragon

Kikoriki: Legend of the Golden Dragon (2016) is a Russian animated feature you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Denis Chernov. Voices by Dmitry Nagiev, Garik Kharlamov, Elena Shulman, and Vladimir Maslaakov.

The island's scientist invents a helmet — the Improverizor — that swaps personality traits between people. One fearful resident volunteers to test it and promptly ends up body-switched with a caterpillar. The rest of the Kikoriki crew follows in pursuit through a plane crash, dense jungle, an erupting volcano, and an angry indigenous population. The film's own tagline, "The next-to-the-last hope of mankind," gives a fair sense of how seriously it takes itself.

Family comedy that earns laughs across both age groups — the absurdist logic lands for kids, while the deadpan keeps adults in the game. Stream Kikoriki: Legend of the Golden Dragon (2016) online on iFILM.
