In the animated film "Oh and Ah" the main characters are funny men, opposite in character. The first is Ah, a cheerful optimist, endowed with savvy and a lively mind. The second is Oh, who is constantly nagging and dissatisfied with everyone.
Everyone in the town also has funny names. There's A-I-Ya and Oi and Hey. They have their own character traits, look at life with joy, actively work. And only the neighbors Oh and Ah are constantly competing with each other. But even the same thing ends differently. So, having pricked firewood, a cheerful neighbor quickly folded into a large latch. I could not cope with it – all the wood was scattered in the yard. The simplest need to bring a bucket of water causes the grumpy difficulty. Before bringing the bucket into the house, the merry man will remove all the stones from his path so as not to stumble. Life teaches nothing. Once he stumbles, he doesn’t learn a lesson. On the way home, he steps on the same stone again.
Every new day, Aha delights. He wakes up, not only washes himself, but also cleans his house, washes the sun. Oh, on the contrary, he lives in mud and does not wash himself. He doesn’t like it, he constantly complains about his life.
One day, Oh did not leave his home. Neighbors worried about his health and decided to visit him. In the house of Oha, they saw a terrible picture: the apartment was filled with spiders, all the corners were overgrown with spiders, all the plates, pots, pans were dirty, occupied all the surfaces of the room. The stove is not flooded, there is no food, and the owner of the house lies in bed, pulling a cotton blanket over himself.
Neighbors rolled up their sleeves and started cleaning. They not only took out all the dirt, cooked a delicious dinner, washed dishes, but also took care of the owner himself. Removing him from under the blanket, the men completely transformed him - washed, trimmed, dressed in clean clothes. Now Oh won't recognize himself in the mirror. A different life began for him... 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

One day, King Yeremei decides to go on a long hike in order to consider all his areas and compile their register. A well appears on his way home, but as soon as the sovereign bent over him, he was seized by the underwater king Chudo-Yudo and demanded an unusual ransom for his release — that which is in the state of Yeremei, but which he does not know about. The tsar is forced to agree to these conditions, because he thinks that each blade of grass was taken into account in the inventory — he still does not suspect that in his absence the Queen gave birth to him an heir. close
