- Singing To Himself: all the male voices (bar Donkey) and one female (of course all of them are singing voices cause all character interactions are sung) belong to one person. It wasn't original intention: they had an ensemble star cast, but due to various reasons (one of the reasons was mighty hangover) every other voice-actors couldn't show up at the recording. Oleg Anofriev then voiced all the parts by himself. The only part he couldn't sing was princess.
