Ku! Kin-dza-dza (rus. Ку! Кин-дза-дза) is a 2013 Russian animated science fiction film by Georgy Danelia. It is a remake of Danelia's 1986 live-action film Kin-dza-dza!. Although it preserves much of the original movie's social commentary, Ku! Kin-dza-dza is notably less dark and dystopian than original, and more targeted towards youth and an international audience. The film is mainly traditionally animated with some computer animation in it.
