Question About an Obscure Russian Penguin Cartoon

Humor me, if you can.;)

I found this movie- "The Adventures of Scamper the Penguin"- in a pawn shop for 25 cents, so I bought it (I'm always willing to buy obscure animation, especially when it's dirt-cheap). I got home and looked the movie up on Wikipedia, and to my surprise, found this: apparently, the originally version of the movie was "very violent" but the english version was "censored for the sake of the younger audience of the U.S. culture". Yuh-huh. I'm not one to trust a Wikipedia article, especially such a badly written one, but this did make me curious. Since I can find almost nothing else about this movie on the internet, I was wondering if anybody here had seen it, and if they could tell me what censorship took place between this version and the original one.
 
I haven't seen the movie, but, from reading the Wikipedia article, I can assume that there was some animal violence that was censored:



Nothing bad, really; it's just the way wildlife is... (except for the poachers part; that is bad). The wikipedia page also mentions that this was the first Russian cartoon to show blood. So, obviously, that would've had to've been censored. Ex: A killer whale eats a seal... there'd be some blood there.
 
I actually saw this cartoon a while ago, in Russian. To be honest, I don't recall anything excessively violent about it. The parts censored were, as nickreqind9 stated, most likely blood and the like.
