Dog in Boots (Russian: Пёс в сапогах, Pyos v sapogakh), also known as Pup in Boots[1] is a 1981 Soyuzmultfilm's animated parody film directed by Yefim Gamburg.[2][3] It is a musical adaptation of the classic 1844 Alexandre Dumas story of d'Artagnan and The Three Musketeers.[4]
Dog in Boots parodies costume and historical drama films, particularly the musical miniseries d'Artagnan and Three Musketeers (1978)[5][6] that was incredibly popular in the Soviet Union.[7][8] The concept of this film is similar to the 1981 series Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds: the main characters are dogs, while Cardinal Richelieu's evil guards and Milady are cats.[9]
The novelization Pyos v sapogakh, ili Novye priklyucheniya treh mushketerov (lit. "Dog in boots, or New Adventures of the Three Musketeers") for children, authored by Vladimir Valutskiy, was published by Strekoza Press in 2004.[10] In 2006 TVIK-LIREK released an audiobook CD based on Valutskiy's story.[11] In 2009 Dog in Boots was fully restorated by Krupny Plan and released on DVD as a part of Full Picture and Sound Restoration series.[12][13] The original film copy was provided by Gosfilmofond.[13]
