It stars Tikhon Zhiznevsky as the title character, he tells the adventures of Troubadour, a group of traveling musicians,[3] alongside Askar Nigamedzyanov as the Rooster, Irina Gorbacheva as the Cat, Roman Kurtsyn as the Dog, and Dmitri Dyuzhev will try to play the Donkey.

The Bremen Town Musicians premiered at the Karo 11 October in Moscow on December 18, 2023, and was theatrically released in Russia on January 1, 2024.

A boy named Troubadour, with extraordinary musical talent, loses his mother early and comes to the city of Bremen, where he wants to sing in the square.

The robbers are no longer there, and instead of them the man meets the anthropomorphic Dog, Donkey, Rooster and Cat – wandering musicians who, impressed by the Troubadour's playing of the electric guitar, take him into their group as a soloist.

The Troubadour and the Animals come to the square to perform at the Dreams music festival, which will be attended by the King, who is experiencing a tense relationship with his daughter, the capricious and ardent Princess.

She agrees to help: she and the Troubadour arrange everything so that he supposedly "cleared the forest of robbers" (naturally, bringing them all with him as proof), and the gates of Bremen are opened.

The Troubadour finds himself in prison and repents before his mother, to whom he once promised to "sing from the bottom of my heart," but the Detective saves him and gets into the cell in his place.

Meanwhile, the Bremen Town Musicians take the stage with an incomplete lineup, and at first their performance does not delight the crowd, but the situation is saved by the appearance of the Troubadour.

The company Zhiznevsky on the set was made up of no less famous and talented actors – Borisov in the role of the Rooster was replaced by Askar Nigamedzyanov,[7] Irina Gorbacheva, Roman Kurtsyn, and Dmitri Dyuzhev.

The video caused a mostly negative reaction from viewers: many noted the repulsive images of animals, which had an "uncanny valley" effect and were reminiscent of characters from the 2019 film Cats.
