Like the Russian folk tale “About the Stupid Wife”, the cartoon “The Tale of the Stupid Husband” tells an instructive story from family life. Only the main character here was the husband.
The characters of the cartoon “The Tale of a Stupid Husband” until some time quite peacefully lived and lived, but good money, when suddenly the husband decided that his wife was not good enough. It was not enough for him to talk heart-to-heart, and the stupid husband, forgetting, apparently, the saying “they do not look for good from good”, went in search of a better version of his second half. close

A Soviet cult cartoon, so untypical for a Western viewer, especially, a little one. A boy named Malysh ("A Little One") suffers from solitude being the youngest of the three children in a Swedish family. The acute sense of solitude makes him desperately want a dog, but before he gets one, he "invents" a friend - the very Karlson who lives upon the roof. So typical for the Russian culture spirit of mischief, which is, actually, never punished, and the notion that relative welfare not necessarily means happiness made the book by Astrid Lindgren and its TV adaptations tremendously popular in the Soviet Union and nowadays Russia and vice versa - somewhat alienated to the Western reader and viewer (see User's comments below). However, both the book and the cartoon are truly universal - entertaining and funny for the children and thought-provoking and somewhat sad for grownups. close
