Ku! Kin-dza-dza

Ku! Kin-dza-dza (2013) is a Russian animated sci-fi comedy you can watch online on iFILM — director Georgi Daneliya's own remake of his cult 1986 live-action satire, co-directed with animator Tatyana Ilyina.

Moscow DJ Tolik and cellist Uncle Vova tap the wrong button on a stranger's device and end up on Plyuk, a desert planet with one hard rule: your rank is your pants color. Matches pass for gold. Getting back home means learning the local customs from scratch — starting with what "ku" means and exactly when to say it.

Daneliya expanded the script with new scenes but kept the original's bite: a society built entirely on status signals that carry no real meaning. In animation, where every design choice is deliberate, that satirical edge reads a little sharper. Voice cast includes Vakhtang Kikabidze, Andrei Leonov, and Polina Kutepova. Stream Ku!
