It is very fashionable to flood with songs about which American cartoons were bad and which Soviet ones were good. Yes, there are such cases, for example, if you compare the Russian and American Mowgli. But in general, it is difficult to find another country and period where the same disgusting crazy cartoons were filmed as those chased by Soyuzmultfilm. While commercial analysts worked in the West from the very beginning of the animation, albeit not disinterestedly, but thought about the audience’s reaction, people with a crippled psyche came to our animators and just did everything they wanted. Censorship will test the cartoon for political sedition, but it won't check if you're a fool. It's a children's cartoon, no one's going to think about why there's thrash, kids are grabbing everything, and it was considered normal.
Fucking bus with legs! What is it, where did it come from??? All right, let's show him he's magical, but no, he just came and that's it! Why does the villain talk more or less, and the positive heroes do not? Because they don't exist. The whole plot breathes such feeble-minded infantilism that it is not difficult to guess the story of the creation - the author himself, when he was a little, lost a dog. He grew up with this complex, blaming squirrels, and a thousand times imagining crazy fantasies as a dog would be repulsed by some miracle in feathers. Not himself, but a completely unreal scarecrow, because he himself is not capable of anything. At the end, Zhivodere was not even neutralized in any way, for example, he was not bewitched, not sent to a desert island, he was just given a kick and cleaned a boot on his head – and what? He'll roll a glass tomorrow and go back to work.
Any non-commercial creative project is always born from the personal ideas of the author, who have long owned him personally, they do not come for nothing. Soyuzmultfilm is a factory where the personal schizoid fantasies of people with a difficult childhood were embodied at state expense. Do you know what Soviet cartoons are called today? Psychological cartoons, i.e. equated to the hallucinatory experience of drug addicts.
