I grew up with this cartoon, it's Called Well, Just You Wait!
Why haven't most Soviet cartoons succeeded in U.S.?
No. I know your game OP. You just want them to fuck
no?
Honestly? They're not very good compared to western equivalents, and will never receive any airtime. They're not 'bad', but they have certain flaws you have to look beyond in order to appreciate.
Case in point, the Winnie the Pooh adaptation.
They already have them at home
Explain these flaws, please
Hope the thread doesn't die in one day, we haven't had one in a while

Stupidly sexy Bagheera.
Probably because they were never exported to the West? Retard.
Same reason why most Western cartoons made after 2022 are not popular in Russia. They're simply not released and not dubbed there.
Those two are GOATs

Are there any episodes with English subs? I've seen a few are on YT but none have subs or maybe I'm just retarded
Is there even that much dialogue to need them?
Overall, I don't think so? Although, I think there are some jokes here and there that require an understanding of the language to get

Soviet cartoons
succeeded in U.S.?
You didn't pay very close attention in history class did you?
There was a knockoff of this from Vietnam. youtu.be
It has terrible animation. It's like a shitty Jim Tyer cartoon.
Adventures of Mowgli is both leagues better and more faithful to Kipling's book compared to Disney's Jungle Book. Which is really ironic, considering what Kipling's own views on Soviets were.
Same reason why most Western cartoons made after 2022 are not popular in Russia. They're simply not released and not dubbed there.
No one stopped dubbing western shit in Russia after 2022. Everything is now being released directly on streaming services (a month or so after release in case of Hollywood films). People take them, dub just as they used to and put them either on social media or local streaming platforms (most films even still get theater runs). Modern western cartoons are not popular in Russia for the same reason they are not popular anywhere else: you can just watch anime instead.
Universal Pictures' first theatrical animated feature film
Reminds me of that one anon who compares the show Mezga family and Wait till your father gets home.
The best thing I can describe Soviet animation to is Columbia Screen Gems cartoons. On the surface level, they seem like perfectly crumulent golden age shorts. But when you watch an hour of golden age shorts with a mix of MGM, WB, Disney, Walter Lanz, Fleischer, and Screen Gems, the Screen Gems start to stand out with their art and designs being a step behind everyone else at all times. And that's how it is with Soviet cartoons, they just don't make anything good enough to stand with American cartoons.
Case in point, NOBODY'S favorite Tom and Jerry shorts are the Soviet ones with the voice acted sound effects.
Soviet ones
Czechoslovakia was not soviet and had some of the choppier 2D animation in the eastern bloc. Made up for it with the cool puppetry and stop-motion tho.
Oh, I think Czechoslovakia was Soviet. I guess because the Czech Republic-Slovakia split happens so close to the fall of the Iron Curtain.
why didn't Soviet cartoons succeed in the country that has been yelling COMMUNIST at anything slightly socialist or red for the past 80 years
What does Anon Babble think of yugoslavia animation?
Nah I'm East Euro (not Russian tho) and most cartoons are much better than the Looney toons dogshit they showed on cartoon network
Was Rocky and Bullwinkle actually banned in the eastern bloc or this is just another myth?
The story I remember hearing is that while there was delay and stress over them being looked at closely by censors, Rocky and Bullwinkle was released unaltered in the USSR, and most Eastern Euro peoples actually thought that Boris and Natasha were fucking hilarious.
The real surprise international censorship was that apparently the Dudley Do-Right segments were banned in Canada for years, because they wouldn't stand for insulting the Mounties.
hell no im not watching this weeaboo shit, fuck no
hoo hoo
