Thank you!
Hell yeah!!!!!
I remember someone from a post-soviet country showing me Hedgehog in the Fog and being like "That's what a Soviet childhood looked like! We only had depressive entertainment! Traumatic!" (they were born many years after the USSR collapsed lol) I personally think it's interesting, albeit dark in some places, though the artistic medium is definitely worth a shot, as it had many interesting effects such as the segment with the tree.
i gotta ask, is it dark dark or simply doesn't have exploding colors to trigger all them dopamines in our brain and steal our attention?
Ah ha, well both really. It has a dark atmosphere visually and the storyline is about getting lost, some existential questions iirc, etc.
One of the many things Americans must learn about the world is that not all cartoons are cheap entertainment for kids

Such is life in the Zone, and that's nooo good! 
Such is life in the Zone
I'm suddenly reminded of the Stalker movie, which specifically used black and white for "outside", and full colour for the Zone
interesting, imma checkout later, two animations that is somewhat darkish that i liked is over the garden wall and infinity train
Thank you, sounds interesting!
Thank you!
Hedgehog in the Fog is so good!
It (and other Soviet cartoons) helped inspired Hayao Miyazaki, if you're interested in Studio Ghibli films.
And speaking of recommendations, I heard the Soviet Treasure Island cartoon from 1988 is pretty good. Didn't watch it myself yet.
Thank you so much!
Here it is full and subtitled. Step aside Kubrick, this is what true kino looks like.

Gena the Crocodile
An extremely wholesome and heartwarming series about an anthropomorphic alligator who works at the zoo and wants nothing more then to make some friends. The humor is very well done.
The songs are also beyond catchy.
Thank you! My queue is getting longer and I love it!
i grew up on gena the crocodile and cheburashka. i still think its the best and cutest.
Same here, Ну, погоди! and Крокодил Гена were a massive part of my childhood, and they are absolutely incredible.
I still go back and listen to his birthday song each year on my birthday.
ну, погоди! was so good. i had the little game version where you collected the eggs and i played it more than anything else lol

Secret of The Third Planet is one of my favorites! Very strange with fantastic animation and visuals!
Thank you!
Interplanetary Revolution The grandaddy of Soviet animation from 1924.
Hedgehog in the Fog I've always found this one oddly beautiful.
The Millionaire Kind of includes a dog, from 1963.
Thank you!
I just watched the Millionaire and that was simply amazing! thank you for posting
This movie is excellent, we watched it recently on one of the Hexbear movie nights. There's also some live action scenes mixed in that are hilarious, no animal characters though.
Damn I need to join in on one of those movie nights!
I believe that was anime movie night which is on Saturdays. We're watching Oppenheimer and a 
claymation movie tonight if you're interested, main feature will be starting shortly. https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies
Thank you!
Винни Пух is the Eastern European Winnie the Pooh, I forget which country produced it, but when my grandma first got internet, she would show me old episodes of it, cool art style, I think it’s from the late 50s or 60s, I highly recommend it
I love Vinnie Puh!
AMBA is a pretty good sci fi cartoon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMBA_(animated_film)
Isn't that technically post-soviet?
Oh you're right, misremembered when it came out. Does have a soviet feel to it though.
Umka is a pretty popular one. I think every Russian kid has watched it at some point.
Thank you!
Russian Winnie the Pooh is pretty great.
A number of good ones is already mentioned, but one is oddly missing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_from_Prostokvashino There are 3 soviet movies, and one post-Soviet. Ignore the latter. Obligatory animal characters included.
That Dr. Livesey meme comes from a Soviet adaptation of treasure island, the whole thing is bonkers, it's great.
Yes! A chance to see the source material before I learn about the meme!
Kuzya the little domovoy. I sadly don't know if it has subtitles (in case of a language barrier). It has multiple animal characters and even a couple sentient trees
Thank you!
Technically a full-length animated film, but Бременские музыканты (Bremen Town Musicians) is good.
Ah im gonna have to think real hard to even have a chance of remembering, but one of my exes loved this old Soviet cartoon about a mouse that goes to New York and is surrounded by giant rats and bad people. It was great, I’ll see what I can dig up.
