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?

Их слишком много самых разных, чтоб что-то выделять. Но я больше любил рисованные. И с юмором, чтоб. Вот например "Остров Сокровищ".

My favorite is about Karlson that lived on the roof. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eiqer5W9ME
I love the line when the boy asks his mom:"When my brother grew up,get married then die, do I have to marry my brother's wife?" and his mom is like: "Why do you think so?" And the boy says:"Well, I'm always wearing his old pj-s, skates, bike....and everything else..."

Best soviet cartoon series is Ну Погоди ! Line Tom and Jerry but wolf and hare instead. Also I dont think it was so many silent cartoons.

Nu pogodi (have no idea what is it in English) is the best.
Most of the Russian cartoons are not silent.

The best things in Soviet cartoons were, probably, music and songs. Like this one, about musicians from Bremen, which I also had on vinyl, and could listen to it all day long when I was little.



There was a strong female character - Alice Seleznyova, from books by Kyr Bulychev and cartoon "Mystery of the third planet". She was a badass schoolgirl from future, who is often times smarter and wiser than her dad, a famous cosmozoologist, and his scientist buddies.

I have a question for you - What's your favorite American cartoon?

Mystery of the Third Planet.

it was so easy to find a good one.
In fact, any that was shown today on TV (either channel) was very good.

... Since then kids had discovered Disney and japan anime and other stuff. It is so not fair to compete with all those people they have money and poor russian animators don't and never will. I strongly believe Russia should stop those monsters at the border and show only Ну Погоди

Винни пух, Простоквашино, Домовенок Кузя, Вовка в тридевятом царстве, Бременские музыканты, Летучий корабль, пластилиновая ворона и Осторожно обезьянки. The last four mostly because of songs, looove to sing those songs:)

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?
