“The Fixies vs. Crabots” main characters are kind little people who live inside machines and appliances and take care of equipment. The Fixies hide from people: there are only a few lucky people in the world who communicate with them. In Professor Eugenius's laboratory there is the Fixies school, and only the boy called Tom Thomas and his friend Kate know about it. But one day, elusive creatures appear there. They spy on the Fixies and threaten their privacy.

Moreover, Mi Primer Festival, an international film festival for children in Peru, shows both premiere projects "Beardy Bodo" and "DinoCity" from the Russian toon house from at the end of July.
