1976 - IX All-Union Film Festival (Frunze) - The second prize in the cartoons section was awarded to the Fantik film.
The artist Daniil Mendelevich depicted all the characters with thin colored lines on a black background, which is why the ancient forest and its inhabitants became even more fabulous and mysterious.
Stusha-Kutusha, the anti-hero of the cartoon, was included in the list of unique horror stories of the USSR's gold stock of animated films, born of the imagination of Soviet animators.
The cartoon is full of amazing sound effects recorded at the experimental studio of electronic music.
In the rating of the newspaper Evening Moscow, Fantik was included in the list of ten legendary cartoons directed by Efim Gamburg.
