The Adventures of Boris Munchausen is an animated short created by the group of Russian kids under direction of open-source animation activist Konstantin Dmitriev.
The animation was created with a purpose to demonstrate what young generation can do with open-source tools utilizing the technologies developed by Morevna Project. In 2011 the animation was translated into English and released to the public together with its sources under Creative Commons BY-SA license.
As we promised, the conclusion of the Munchausen series is here. As usual, don’t forget to enable English subtitles in YouTube player. ^__^ Enjoy!

OK, I know you all disappointed.
We have promised Munchausen series to be a trilogy and instead you all see this damn “To be continued…” at the end of the third episode. I know, I know…
But I have a good news. We’re going to keep the promise.
How? The third episode will be released again, as version 3.2. Comparing to all previous releases it will be a double-length episode. It will include episode 3.0 (with some changes) and this time it tell the story till the very end. For sure. So, prepare to see 7 more minutes of Adventures of Boris Munchausen!
When it will happen? This time I can name a real date. Yes, episode will have double-length, but you will not need to wait for whole one year to see it. In fact we already have it done and it will be released to the public on August 14th, 2013 (near two weeks to wait!).
But that’s not all. For our most impatient viewers we have an offer. If you don’t want to wait for two weeks, you can watch the episode 3.2 right now. Honestly. You can buy a private link to watch by donating any amount through the form below. That’s it.
This is just an option if you are impatient to see the story end or just want to give us some support. For all the rest the episode 3.2 will be released and freely available under CC BY-SA license on August 14th.
Stay tuned!
After the whole year of development, we are happy to release episode 3.0 of Munchausen series! Please don’t forget to enable English subtitles in YouTube player. We hope you like it.
