Later, Vladimir Suteev worked at the Mezhrabpom-Rus film factory, where his first cartoon with the sound "Street across" was created. After some time, he moved to Mosfilm, and already in 1936 he began working at the Soyuzmultfilm studio.
Personal life
In the personal life of the artist and writer Vladimir Grigorievich, things were getting harder. When the Great Patriotic War began, Suteev was already married, but his wife left him as soon as he returned from the front. His second and last love was his colleague on "Soyuzmultfilm" Tatyana Taranovich. However, they could not immediately be together, because she was already married, raised a daughter and did not want to divorce her husband. The writer quit the film studio. Many years later, already widowed, the two lovers were able to be together. Suteev at that time was already 80 years old, and Tatyana Taranovich is 67 years old. Having lived in a happy marriage for 10 years, they died in one year.
Books for children
A talented illustrator and animation director, he gradually became a writer. In 1952, Suteev's first book, Two Tales About a Pencil and Paints, was published. Vladimir Grigorievich wrote many wonderful stories, he illustrated each one himself and almost all of them also turned into cartoons. Children of all generations love Suteev's tales. How can you not love them? There is so much good in them! Not a single New Year vacation will pass without the cartoon "Mailer Snowman". The fairy tales of this magician are filled with morality, which the child realizes himself, without guidance.
And even though a lot of modern cartoons have already been created, there will never be such as those created by Suteev. Nowadays, there are very few cartoons with meaning, they only have brightness and dynamics that attract children. And what these cartoons are, the authors do not even think about. Thanks to Vladimir Grigorievich Suteev for his talent, for his childhood, which he gave us.
