Now such cartoons — nbsp;do not do
Cartoons from the studio Saban Entertainment I like to list for a long time, but not favorite products of the studio are units that I do not want to remember. But I do not deny that they are not deprived of the main thing - the soul. So this cartoon is not solved the same thing that the modern so-called ' cartoons' have not even heard. I do not scold anyone and do not pour from a garbage can - among modern and there are very high-quality paintings. And there are many, but what stamps ' Disney' - no words, although I am very glad that I was wrong, that ' Zootopia' and ' Frozen' came out good.
But what I was shown in 'Braveheart'... Yes, not only ' Mouse House' where I love and appreciate animation tapes more, but not as a computer. In general, with the advent of computer graphics, about animation somehow scored - too expensive. But for some reason, creating cartoons, the tapes decided and literate stories: sometimes the scripts are outright junk. But I lay down.
In fact, we have an animated series, a joint production of France and Japan, already in the distant 1987-1988, under the leadership of talented creators Bruno Bianca author of such hits as ' Jim Button', ' Princess Sissy', ' Inspector Gadget' etc., and Jean Chalopin, who noted projects such as 'Hitcliff', 'True Ghost Hunters' '''' #39;'##39;#39;##39;###39'##39;D###39;###39. Whatever it was, but these are still one of our favorites, standing on the same level with our Soviet cartoons. That's it.
Networks
For the first time I got acquainted with the animated series, when it was first shown in our country, already far away, in 2001, on the channel ' NN' just then it was played, somewhere after 15:00, then I found it, already with the pilot series. And even then, she introduced the matter: the whole plot is built on the confrontation of Santes and his henchmen, as well as Diplodoks and two friends Peter and Joan (in the Russian version of Jane). And every time, according to the laws of the genre, the main bastard is left with nothing. Interestingly, Santes sometimes had fantastic ideas that often contradicted himself. Characteristically, the problems shown were solved too quickly and easily, although they were very complex and confusing. And some of the moments were badly played. I don’t want to be nagging, because I love this project today.
The cartoon, now it seems, a little primitive: Diplodoks claim that they are ' highly developed civilization' which is really true, only they use, too often earthly technologies 80-ies. But small things, because this series does not become a bad machine. No, especially despite the fact that the series often tries to show ' gloomy', ' sinister' and ' dark' moments, it is generally quite bright and cheerful. There's a lot of good humor here. And not stupid gags, but normal jokes, which are full of the main characters, that the main villain. Of course, we can begin to list a number of stupidities and some absurdities, such as the giant temperatures from 'stars' Santesa, the Earth could have burned to nothing fast, but it's all nitpicking. Moreover, the vastness of the Internet now the cartoon almost will not see, even in the original - not all series. It's a shame.
Separately, Russian localization: as usual, the animated series of the early 2000s were voiced as the rules - the Trinity. And in the leading role here, again everywhere is Valery Solovyov. And here you can really praise him (he voiced Santes perfectly). In addition to him, there were noted Alexander Bargman and Svetlana Sheichenko, who voiced, in addition to the female characters, a couple of Peter and Jane, which was a small mistake: sometimes the voices, despite the fact that they sounded somewhat different, but still not rarely overlapped on each other. Well, come on - dubbing is good, although the quality of the translation - I can't assess - I don't know. By the way, the title song was not voiced, which deserves special praise.
Epilogue
One of the high-quality products of the golden 80s: cheerful, kind, in general with an interesting, although quite ' fast' plot, with a small, but still philosophical message. There are shortcomings, but these are small things. Especially those who get acquainted with the cartoon, remember the title song.
