A time of adventure, friendship and devotion There are a lot of cartoons, but among them there are those that fall into the soul. Yes, there are talented cartoons, colorful, positive, but this is not always enough. And then, at a certain point, those works appear that fill the void in our soul. To my great joy, many of this category are famous and beloved, such as “The Lion King”, “Balto”, “Bambi”, “Fox and Dog”, “Robin Hood”. But to my chagrin, there are cartoons that don’t have enough popularity, but they seem to be woven from our childhood dreams, experiences and ideals.
Once Upon a Time in the Woods is one of those movies. It is very rarely shown on television, filling the airwaves with animated “soap”, meaningless and aggressive. And in vain - a simple story, kind and real, not overloaded with very tragic experiences. Just for children - with meaning, with fun and dangerous adventures, close-knit and loyal friends. It is also a good example of how people influence nature. It is a pity that such cartoons are so rarely remembered.
The style of this cartoon is especially good, namely the drawing. There is no 3D graphics, so popular today, which spoiled so many works, for example, the same fourth part of “The Swan Princess”. There are no screaming colors, looking at the screen you get pleasure, rest visual and spiritual, well, peace. Forest, pond, sky – painted to a certain extent fabulously, in a certain – realistically, so you feel the coolness of the water, the aroma of the forest, dew, grass, the noise of trees. For me, this cartoon, along with “American Tail” (American History), “The Great Mouse Sleuth”, “Rescuers” and “Cats of the Aristocrats” will remain in memory forever, as prototypes of kindness, friendship, justice and loyalty. I want my kids to watch movies like that.
