It Was I Who Drew the Little Man Russian tr. Chelovechka narisoval ya is a 1960 Soviet celanimated feature film directed by the grandmothers of the Russian animation, Brumberg sisters, and Valentin Lalayants. It was produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow. The film is an expanded remake of a 1948 21minute film by the same directors called Fedya Zaytsev.

On the first of September, Fedya Zaytsev is the very first kid who comes to school. In his joy at realizing this, he draws a little man with an umbrella on the wall of his classroom with a piece of charcoal, realizing too late that this is against the rules. In class, the teacher notices the drawing and asks everyone to raise their hands. Fedya rubs out his hands so that they are clean, but his friend, with whom he had shaken hands earlier, has dirty hands and is blamed. Fedya goes home without saying anything, but the little man whom he drew follows him, and he teams up with all of Fedyas toys and the heroes of his favourite books to teach him a lesson. At the end of the film, Fedya admits to his mistake.This fulllength scenario corresponds to Mikhail Volpin and Nikolai Erdmans initial scenario offered for statement in 1947 and from the very beginning broken into two parts perhaps, because of installation of the minister of cinematography I. G. Bolshakov on short animated films. The first part was quickly started in production, and the second is met by the negative review the scenario department doesnt satisfy not only for the formal reasons it is continuation of already quite finished scenario Fedya Zaytsev, but also on the substance of the development of a plot. The plot under the name In the Lie Kingdom was sent to completion, thus Fedya Zaytsev had to terminate not in recognition of the hero, and the open final assuming possibility of future continuation. However and the modified politized scenario was rejected in this connection, also Fedya Zaytsevs final changed. ........
