Novators (Russian: Новаторы, romanized: Novatory) is a Russian popular-science cartoon which tells about the inventions of Russian scientists.

It all starts on an ordinary day, when an alien literally falls on the heads of perfectly ordinary school children. The kids quickly find a common language with the visitor from space, and soon the fun intergalactic company is joined by a four-legged friend - hamster. The earthlings invited the alien to use an old refrigerator to use as spare parts for the broken flying saucer. But the refrigerator instead becomes useful in order to create a time machine for him.

The curiosity of the heroes leads them into a totally unexpected situation. They find themselves having to cope with the breakdown of the time machine, cold glacial period, unfriendly Papuan tribe.

Knowledge, wit, friendship and the ability to do something with their hands help the friends successfully overcome all difficulties while making different scientific discoveries.

All of the inventions that aid the heroes of the cartoon are based on original ideas and patented inventions by Russian scientists.
