Posts from Soviet cartoons.

Oh, I also remember that cute cartoon about the cute kitten Gava ^_^

Well, what can I say? I don't watch cartoons, let the kids watch them :)
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.

What's better, yes, but what's more interesting is not always the case, it's not necessarily true... Many often prefer (but not always) silly Western counterparts or something not entirely suitable (or completely unsuitable) for children, like The Simpsons.

I watched it when I was a kid... I watched a lot of things when I was a kid, so...)) but I don't remember having any favorites.... but there were some that I found frankly irritating (because of their illogicality, stupidity, or something else), and some that maybe even scared me :O (what can you do if they're poorly drawn?)
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.

Treasure Island is the best cartoon of all time and of all nations, and nobody... cares.

Well, "Nu Pogodi" is still good.

There are 2-3 cartoons that I really liked.
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.

For their time, the cartoons weren't bad. And I'd still enjoy watching "Well, Just You Wait" today ;)

I haven't watched any Soviet cartoons. I grew up watching Goofy and his team and eating expired yogurt.

Noob and lol.

That's quite an opinion.

It's overly simplistic. Even one of the most child-oriented cartoons, "Winnie the Pooh," has more hidden meaning than Tex Avery or something similar. Even "Kitten Named Gav," which is aimed at preschoolers, has hidden meaning. Take, for example, "Let's be afraid together!" Idealism is present, yes, but that's a characteristic of the time when the country was populated by builders of a bright communist future. In some ways, it was even good, at least better than it is now.
