Animation Studio Creative United "420" is known in RuNet not very often appearing, but popular cartoons, most of which can be described as mystical thrash . The sources of the plots are usually various myths and tales, from Chukchi to Russian Rastaman.

MOT "420" was created with the aim of breaking down the usual stereotypes about how bad a classic animation can be. Gradually, specialists in other types of moving pictures joined them, since then they began to transform other genres, for example, three-dimensional , vector , re- compilation or plasticine (not all of this can be seen on YouTube channel for various reasons).

"TO-420". The tautology admission in the title of the cycle marks the storytelling strategy. ^ The visual universality of the characters of "Mythological mythology" allows you to use the techniques of formal graphic games in a wide textural field for a story in the genre of "alternative history". The author’s attitude is set through a combination of lively speech and a non-energetic touch, rounded contours of figures, a line without character, typical of Internet graphics. The structure of the story and the image is cumulative. The landscape is outlined by a laconic touch - universal and unchanged, which has a generalization. ^[one]

At the beginning of 2016, the To-420 crowdfunding platform Planet held a successful fundraising company for a feature film. https://planeta.ru/campaigns/to420_themovie/comments 2143695 rubles were collected and received. After that, there was no news of either the To-420 or their full-length film.
