Nu, pogodi! Kanikuly (Ну, погоди! Каникулы, lit. "Well, Just You Wait! Holidays") is a 2021 Russian computer-animated short comedy series and a reboot of the iconic Soviet/Russian cartoon series Nu, pogodi! (1969-2012). Much like its predecessor, it is produced by Soyuzmultfilm and has been released on various platforms and channels (including YouTube and streaming-service Okko) since late 2021.

The series is very different from the shorts before it, with Volk (Wolf) no longer interested in trying to eat Zayats (Hare) but also trying to impress local female deer Ulya and still using less than good methods to achieve his goals.

Spoiler warning!
This article contains details of the ending and/or a surprise plot element.

After Volk tries using a helium tank strapped to a bicycle (loaned by Zayats) to get a runaway handful of balloons in a bid to woo Ulya, the other result of his failure is the helium tank landing on him, causing him to inflate and float away. Though he succeeds in getting the balloons, he is nearly pulled away (by a massive red balloon he was unable to pop earlier) until Zayats and the others successfully catch him. Eventually, Zayats accidentally sends Volk floating into space.
