Curiosidades

On the Trail of the Bremen Town Musicians is a 1973 Soviet animated short film directed by Vasily Livanov. It was made as a sequel to The Bremen Town Musicians. Zherzdeva & Gorokhov, who voiced the princess & the donkey in the first film were the only ones to reprise their roles.

Production and soundtrack

The success of "The Bremen Town Musicians" was so huge that there were requests for a sequel. Vasily Livanov proposed the initial idea to Gladkov and Entin, turning in a song about a "genius detective" looking for a runaway Princess. Gladkov recalled: "Since some time has passed, we decided to make the Troubadour more adult, more baritone - for which we invited Muslim Magomayev".

Gennady Gladkov himself sang for the King - it happened by accident. "Magomayev was supposed to sing, but he was absent at that moment, and I filled a temporary void in the soundtrack. And he listened and said, "I like the way Gladkov sings." They left it that way."

Magomayev refused a very significant fee, saying that it was "not a job, but a pleasure," and "he owes it [to the creators of the cartoon], not them to him."

The music and songs from the cartoon have been repeatedly published. The original vinyl release included narrator and was made in fairy tale format. In 2024, Shining Sioux Records released all music from both "The Bremen Town Musicians" and "On the Trail of the Bremen Town Musicians" in multiple formats; tracks were carefully restored including previously unreleased track "Abracadabra".
