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

She was a badass schoolgirl from future, who is often times smarter and wiser than her dad, a famous cosmozoologist, and his scientist buddies.

Date: 2015-09-25 04:34 pm (UTC)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
