In his remarks, Rashid Aghamaliyev, Chairman of the Azerbaijan Animation Association, noted that the film "Boom-boom", which was presented to a wide audience for the first time, was based on the motifs of the poem of the same name by prominent Azerbaijani writer, People's Poet Vagif Samadoglu, while the short animated film "Earth and Moon" is a joint production of the Azerbaijani and Uzbek animators.

Teachers working in preschool educational institutions of the Lankaran district, as well as students watched the animated films with great enthusiasm.
