Another epic, timeless classic and childhood cartoon. + All the same great things: awesome songs, characters, lots of funny gags and cool stuff, satirical parodies, and other joys of life. - But there are some minor flaws, like sudden costume changes, and many interesting details from the book were omitted to suit the plot. = 146/10, a truly timeless masterpiece. Unlike "The Island," the atmosphere here is quite consistent with the book, although the Italian mafia was only featured in a small episode, and the main conflict was with the Japanese Admiral Kusaki and his friends. However, the plot was completely turned upside down, but this actually turned out to be a good thing, because the original story wasn't as dynamic or cohesive, although I do miss some of the funny moments from it. Epic.
Out of the three, it's a stretch to call this cartoon a childhood favorite, because I watched it for the first time in middle school, snuggled up with a pillow, while I watched the other two endlessly from preschool age. Why did this happen? For some unknown reason, I was terribly afraid of cannibals, and even the mention of Barmaley was enough to make me throw a tantrum and run away to hide. Now I laugh about it, but back then it was really scary. Well, I guess I was a mean little brat, I missed out on a great cartoon, but at least I caught up. + I won't list the same things again, but it's really awesome. - Besides the minor flaws and the wild mix of Chukovsky's classics, which would probably make him turn over in his grave a hundred times, my personal complaint is that sometimes the characters start speaking in verse, and I don't really like that. When the whole cartoon is silent or sung, I can still tolerate it, but I'm not thrilled, and poems are just awful. Although, I enjoy many other cartoons with poems and ask for more. = Still 146/10. Judging by the pirates, this is a very loose adaptation of the prose story about Aibolit, which Chukovsky freely translated based on some classic work by a Western writer. But it turned out great, another dose of crazy fun for Koshi, woohoo.
