Какой мультфильм был лучшим в СССР?

169281-foxixol

It was a Saturday morning tradition in my youth. My sister and I would awake early, run to the couch, and sit there for hours in our pajamas watching cartoons. What a relief for our parents! We were quiet, and they could sleep in. :) My favorite was "The Smurfs." These blue creatures were always on some spooky adventure, and I loved it. There was mystery, humor, intrigue, and even a female vixen who constantly distracted the male Smurfs. Feminists hate this imaginary blue seductress, and they created a popular theory called "The Smurfette Principle," which criticizes the way females are typically portrayed in cartoons. You can read about it here. To some extent I agree. I strongly dislike the classic Disney princess stories, where the helpless female is sitting around waiting for an imaginary prince to rescue her. Modern day Disney cartoons are much better, and the idea of a "princess" has evolved to include not only a beautiful woman, but a smart one also, with strong, charismatic personality traits.

Today, a reader sent me a Ukrainian folk cartoon, and I remember watching clips of Soviet cartoons on YouTube with [livejournal.com profile] macos during his first visit to the U.S. He introduced me to "Hedgehog in the Fog" and others. I fell in love with this adorable, fluffy character "Чебура́шка." :)

What's your favorite Soviet cartoon?

Shannon, what purpose you lead a study?
You treat readers as experimental mice (

tell us about the United States, we do not get information about the United States.
For example: What are the movies to watch the average American?
What cartoons popuoyarny?
What do Americans love to drink of alcohol.
What is the relationship between white and black.
As the first inhabitants now live America - Indians.
What newspapers are popular?
Can a poor American to receive training at the university?
many questions ...

create a theme "Ask a question about the US"

I like a lot of Soviet cartoons even now. I hardly can say what cartoon was the best one, because every person has its own opinion, moreover you can have different opinions in different ages...
As for me I like already named "Vacations in Prostokvashino", "Karlsson that lives on the roof", "Musicians from Bremen", "Flying ship", then mentioned by you about dog, and those that other people not mentioned yet: "Return of prodigal parrot", "Mowgli", "38 parrots", Mystery of the 3rd planet", "Bearnightrnare", "Wings, legs and tails", "Investigation being performed by Roly-Polies"

Just tried to find some links to some of them but connection is not good tonight....

And also I saw Smurfs, Bears Gummi by Polish TV that we had one channel in my childhood :))
Did you like that cartoon about dog?

Жил-был пёс (There was a dog). It is based on the Ukrainian folklore. Absolutely adorable. And the phrase "Ну ты это, если что, заходи!" ("Come by, if you need me, you know") became a popular quatation. Anyway, I think catroons help to understand the very national soul, at least it is so with Russian cartoons. They shape our world view, our mentality.

o my! it's perfect to study english.

[identity profile] peacetraveler22.livejournal.com 2015-09-25 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
And Spanish also! That's why I like it. It's so educational, but still fun. My nephew could count to five in Spanish at age two. :)) Plus, it instills a sense of curiosity in kids, and the show is very interactive.

Actually I loved all o'them, but this one was really something special :)))

Would also recommend this one as well :)

I really like Frozen by modern Disney, because there is part about romantic love in this story, but it doesn't matter: finally, general meaning not about man.

My favourite cartoons from USSR are "Трое из Простоквашино" and about Чебурашка =)

Haha! :) It would be a great cartoon!

My favorite in US is The Road to El Dorado, particularly because of music am my special love to Yucatan.

[identity profile] peacetraveler22.livejournal.com 2015-09-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never heard of this one, or watched it. Now, my nephew is older and is on to non-cartoon shows on the Disney channel. They are horrible! He tortures me with watching them. :)

[identity profile] pin-gwin.livejournal.com 2015-09-25 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I am watching The Road to El Dorado at least once a year just for myself. It helps me to get my moods up. There are Little known Elton's songs along with a whole swing of Myan/Spanish events and adventures. I would say it is a light version of Mel Gibson Apocalipso... I love them both.

Then get her older ones!!! They do not want you to know about them, so they sell them the new ones. But that's what adults are for!
