Posts from Soviet cartoons.
Auto-translated
Well, how do you like our old cartoons? :)
But regarding Soviet cartoons, I can say one thing: they are indeed better than Western ones. Of course, they are inferior in graphics, but that's not important; the plot is better for children.

Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
But I liked the songs (from Bremen Musicians, about the flying ship and maybe some others, I don't remember)...
And now I don't watch them anymore, because I prefer... oh yes, I'm a sellout, I watch foreign cartoons like The Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, South Park... (but not every day, only when I have nothing else to do or while I'm eating... except for South Park, I try to watch it every day))
And if the first three are just for entertainment, then South Park has meaning; it often discusses various problems that exist in reality and makes you look at them from different angles, think about them, and maybe draw conclusions... in general, there are a lot of smart ideas in it.
Наше оружие - неожиданность! Неожиданность и страх, страх и неожиданность - это два наших оружия! Плюс безжалостность - три наших оружия: страх, неожиданность и безжалостность! И ещё фанатичная преданность Папе - четвёртое! Наше оружие включает в себя... наше оружие включает в себя... страх, неожиданность... я сейчас!

Барон "Vampires"
Отдай свои прошлые сны,
В сомненьях себя обрети,
В бешеном танце душа кружится!
Не думай, что будет потом,
Здесь и сейчас мы живем,
Стань хоть на миг сам собой, слышишь!
But that's all the good things I can say about them.
In general, Soviet cartoons have many flaws. Firstly, they have a boring and banal plot, a lack of hidden meaning, excessive idealism, a lack of action and emotions, unattractive animation, and are generally aimed at children. And after all that, there's a widespread stereotype among people that cartoons are for children.
In general, American cartoons of that time were comparatively better; now, most American cartoons are just utter nonsense, drawn in a notebook on someone's lap. I won't even compare them to anime – Soviet cartoons don't even come close.

И пока в кармане пачка милкиуэйев - значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день
Except the ones we've made
