Favorite Soviet animated films give their grateful viewers a wonderful mood, a kind fairy-tale atmosphere, as well as a slight nostalgia.
Cartoons are the most favorite genre of most people, regardless of age, gender and educational level. But it is also the most difficult for the creators, because its main connoisseur is children who will not explain their preferences, but will choose only the best. At the same time, catering to adult directors and screenwriters is also necessary if they want to create an animated film not for one year, but for decades. Such tapes were created by Soviet animators, of course, possessing the secret of mastery in this craft, because their masterpieces are remembered and loved to this day. And the heroes of those cartoons, most likely, will never become a thing of the past.
Top most popular heroes of Soviet cartoons
1. Perhaps the first place in the popularity rating rightfully belongs to the Wolf and the Hare from the beloved "Well, wait a minute," directed by Alexei Kotenochkin. Cartoon characters are both enemies and friends at the same time. It is impossible to imagine them without each other, so much they have "grown together" over the long years of coexistence (the first series were released in 1969). And, despite the fact that the Wolf, according to the script, is a negative character, a violator of the law, order, a scoundrel, his charm is so great that the viewer, empathizing with the positive good-natured Hare, falls in love more with the first. And what musical accompaniment in the series is just a fairy tale.
Music for Soviet cartoons was created by the best authors of the country and almost always became a popular children's hit.
2. Another great piece of Russian animation is "The Return of the Prodigal Parrot" and its main character is Kesha, a hero who fully symbolizes his time. The voice of Gennady Khazanov with his wonderful parodic capabilities was the best fit for the egocentric, capricious parrot who wants to live in better conditions than he is. New episodes of the cartoon appear periodically to this day.
3. Cat Matroskin from the magnificent trilogy - "Three from Prostokvashino", "Winter in Prostokvashino", "Holidays in Prostokvashino" - a character who is not only loved, but also constantly quoted. Phrases from the cartoon went into quotes immediately after their appearance and are not forgotten to this day. Kind, economical and never discouraged, Matroskin will surely stay in the hearts of his audience for a long time.
4. "A man in the prime of life" named Carlson, who became friends of the Kid from the masterpiece "Kid and Carlson" instead of a dog - is familiar to every Russian person. He is, without a doubt, one of the favorite characters.
5. Cheburashka is a cute, carefree, naive character from the cartoon "Gena the Crocodile and Cheburashka", created by the talented children's author E. Uspensky and transferred to the drawn world by Roman Kachanov. He is liked by both very kids and adults for many years.
Why do we love Soviet cartoons
