I don’t know why I had to write this book, and even with such perestroika means? Why did Uspensky himself need to write this book (however, Eduard Nikolayevich himself in Perestroika earned money in general with children’s thrash)? And most importantly, on Soyuzmultfilm still did not know how to make a market movie.
Alexander Tatarsky once remarked that if Tom and Jerry appeared on the screens in parallel with “Well, wait!”, no one would look at the wolf and the hare. Since 1962, "Well, wait!" has been released on average once a year, with a single episode taking 9 months. But the Hannah-Barber multi-stanters riveted Tom and Jerry from the forties, while still managing the Flintstones, the Jetsons, Scooby-Doo and so on. But in the late 80s, our cartoons came face to face with Hannah-Barbera - there were video salons! And so Soyuzmultfilm began to rivet series.
At the end of the Cold War, Eduard Uspensky created a book about combat dolphins, a kind of response to dolphin sappers. Well, in fact, a book about how soldiers are friends with warring generals. How not to remember the friendship of Armenian and Azerbaijani bandits during Nagorno-Karabakh? Well, Ouspensky approached the problem with typical causticity. As a teacher, he manifests himself only in one place: dolphins find the boy Mikko and bring up as their own, with all the adult charms. But if "Cheburashka" and "Prostokvashino" directors facilitated, but Perestroika burst and opened the floodgates.
Adult directors made an adult cartoon. Here you and the female forms of Pavlova, and soldiers' satire in the spirit of Schweik, and typically adult phrases "You raise a child, and I have to go to work!" In short, the cartoon turned out to be more than an adult. But it is never worth competing with shit - it is ridiculous.
The cartoon turned out very nefarious. And an ugly picture, and a semi-illustrative manner, and an idiotic phase, and incompleteness - everything ends in a phrase. So it's a good thing it's not on the main TV channels!
