Welcome (Russian: Добро пожаловать) is a 1986 Soviet paint-on-glass-animated 10-minute film adapted from the 1948 children's book by Dr. Seuss Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose. Coproduction of Sverdlovsk television studio and Gosteleradio.
Released in 1986, the film went on to win the Grand Prix at the Ottawa International Animation Festival in 1988 and in Los Angeles. Although the visual style is quite different, the story is mostly the same with the exception of some subtle changes — for example, the moose isn't shown rejoining his herd at the end and the squatter animals aren't stuffed and mounted. Also, none of the animals are ever named and there is no narrator. The film was directed by Alexei Karayev. The art director was Aleksandr Petrov, who would later win an Oscar for his 1999 film The Old Man and the Sea. The screenplay was written by Yury Iosifovich Koval, a renowned author.

Plot: In 1970s Iran, Marjane 'Marji' Statrapi watches events through her young eyes and her idealistic family of a long dream being fulfilled of the hated Shah's defeat in the Iranian Revolution of 1979. However as Marji grows up, she witnesses first hand how the new Iran, now ruled by Islamic fundamentalists, has become a repressive tyranny on its own. With Marji dangerously refusing to remain silent at this injustice, her parents send her abroad to Vienna to study for a better life. However, this change proves an equally difficult trial with the young woman finding herself in a different culture loaded with abrasive characters and profound disappointments that deeply trouble her. Even when she returns home, Marji finds that both she and homeland have changed too much and the young woman and her loving family must decide where she truly belongs.

May the tears fall like a rainstorm from your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you by surprise
You're so tiny that it scares me
Your nakedness just stares at me
And I never thought my head could spin so high
Welcome baby boy, don't look so confused
One day I'll try to sit down and explain
That the love that brought you here will never change
You're so helpless that it shakes me
Yet so charged with life you make me
So happy that I think, I'm gonna cry
Life has come to greet you child
Play it safe, play it wild reach for the truth
You're on the rules beyond the games
Life is yours and yours along
Free to settle, free to roam
Free to grow and free to change
Or free to fight to stay the same
Welcome baby boy to a brand new world
May the tears fall like a rainstorm from your eyes
Looks like life kinda took you by surprise
