The Stolen Princess (Ukrainian: Викрадена принцеса: Руслан і Людмила, romanized: Vykradena pryntsesa: Ruslan i Lyudmyla, lit.

The film tells about a wandering artist Ruslan who saves princess Mila kidnapped by evil sorcerer named Chornomor.

She is bored with her life and her overprotective father, King Vladimir, who is forcing her to get married, despite her longing to explore the world and have adventures.

When they reach a cliff, a hamster suddenly steals the pod and they pursue it, but they realize that they are supposed to give it to him and unlock a bridge built from a dragon's skeleton.

Despite Chornomor casting a spell that makes all of the desserts in his castle come alive and attack Mila, she manages to defeat them.

After asking for the directions on where to find the sword, they locate it but it is guarded by an army of skeletons and the animated head of a giant.

Their bird gets Mila's pendant and makes Ruslan realize that he is being deceived by Chornomor and he gains the courage to fight the monster.

Mila and Lester tries to save him, but is interrupted by the three knights, resulting in Ruslan's soul being zapped from him and leaving him lifeless.

In January 2013, producer Egor Olesov informed about the development of Ruslan and Lyudmila project based on a fairy tale poem with the same title by Aleksandr Pushkin.

As Olesov said, Hollywood celebrities were involved in English dubbing, and in Ukraine, popular local actors lent their voices to the film.

The Stolen Princess became the first project in the line of theatrically animated premieres from Animagrad, which also includes Mavka: The Forest Song (2023), Snow Republic (currently in development), and Roksolana and Suleiman.

According to the company director, Animagrad planned to release one animated feature per year, both for local Ukrainian and international distribution.

By the end of 2016, the film was sold to China, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, North Africa, and the Middle East.

As of April 13, The Stolen Princess was shown in the cinemas of Ukraine, Romania, Turkey, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain.

The author of the Ukrainian lyrics is Oleksandra Ruban, the arrangement to the song was made by Milos Jelic, keyboard player in Okean Elzy band, and the instrumental part was performed by the musicians of Kyiv Virtuosos orchestra.

The final song in the end credits to the feature film, "Ty Lyubov Moya" ("You're My Love"), was performed by Jamala.

The audience noted the lack of Ukrainian flavor and blind copying of Hollywood standards, inappropriate references to current reality, and lack of charisma among certain characters, but the reviewers have also praised high animation standards, clever jokes, and the animated feature film appealing to topics of interest to both adults and children.
