Shapoklyak (Russian: Шапокляк, from French chapeau claque) is a 1974 Soviet Russian animated short film by Roman Kachanov.

Gena the Crocodile and Cheburashka decide to go to the sea on vacation. Shapoklyak steals their train tickets, so they are kicked off the train. On their way home, the duo, with Shapoklyak's help, stops hikers from poaching and a factory from polluting a river.

Though the city Cheburashka and Gena live in is unnamed, it is implied to be Moscow. This is hinted when Cheburashka and Gena take the train from Moscow to Yalta and also when they have to walk home (they find a distance sign pointing to Moscow).
