Description:
Two schools are having a cycling race, but one of them is missing its star cyclist. Where is he?
Buka rides his bike while people organize a race, then throws a mat that turns into a pedestrian crossing to make the cars stop and allow a girl to cross the street. Then the race begins with Koto, Gugu and Tsika but Buka is nowhere to be found. Buka is still riding his bike while drinking milk, so he gets replaced by Zuriko. Buka then gets into an accident and is hospitalized. He then gets his leg back, but his school has lost the race.
This is an early Georgian puppet animation. The animator.ru states 1958, but seems to be incorrect.

A rare film from Georgia Film's 1960s period, during which the studio was transitioning from the Stalinist to the post-Stalinist era. This period seems to be more poorly attested that the ones before or after... for example, this film seems to survive only in black & white (though I assume it was originally in colour). So far, this is the only Georgian cartoon from this period on the site, and might be one of their earliest puppet films. At around the same time, puppet films began to be created in other Soviet animation studios as well. Also, unlike all the earlier Georgian cartoons I've seen, this one doesn't have fantastical elements (well... except for the doctor somehow managing to re-attach the boy's leg after it has been ripped clean off!)
The 1965 date (which I've only found on the Arjlover forum) does seem more likely than the 1958 date which is almost everywhere else online, given that Sulakauri's biography says that he began to direct in 1964, and there is conspicuously a missing film in 1965. Still, it would be nice to see some more evidence...
