12 sad and gloomy Soviet cartoons

A new interesting thread has appeared on Twitter dedicated to sad, heavy and gloomy Soviet cartoons. You may have watched some of them yourself - but only now do you realize how frightening the art and / or plot was.

Penguins. This cartoon was the first cartoon that made me cry a puddle of tears when I was five. The penguin incubated the STONE THINKING THIS IS AN EGG AND DROWNED TOGETHER WITH IT BECAUSE THE STONE WAS HEAVY. PER. THAN. THIS. CHILDREN. pic.twitter.com/WLnBHRCe1D

The pony runs in a circle. Okay, no one dies here, but it is perfectly shown that it is far from always possible to be who you want, dear dreams of being a wonderful horse and performing at parades, but sadly carries children who perceive her as not alive a toy pic.twitter.com/ecvh7ShQm0

Bring the rex back. What is it, what is it, why are such cartoons made? The dog helped the owner escape from the ice by swimming in icy water, fell ill with pneumonia and died, and the moral is something like this: well, like take another puppy if your old dog died.

Lion and bull. Absolutely no bright colors, nothing that attracts children in cartoons, but instead, anger, cruelty and death, the lion and the bull were friends, the jackal quarreled them, and in the end he did not live to see the ending of the cartoon NO ONE AT ALL pic.twitter.com/krfl9liPjA

Memory. I warn you, you can't watch this cartoon with a weak psyche, because it's just a combo: war, an orphan child who the fear of death, together with hedgehogs, bunnies and all the animals, goes to school, or rather, tries in a burnt-out village + eerie drawing pic.twitter.com/ObonvGxY7B

girl with matches. this is not soyuzmultfilm, but the era is not far gone, the beginning of the 90s, there a girl freezes to death on Christmas night, because does not want to return to his cruel father, but burns matches, remembering the past, well, like this is according to Andersen, but WHY SO CRIPOVO GOD pic.twitter.com/5EpAwFaYlC

in general, it is worth paying attention to how the soyuzmultfilm filmed the tales of both Anderson and all the rest, for example, the beloved little mermaid is drawn so depressingly and sadly that you don't even know this fairy tale I want to pic.twitter.com/WfL8elEnP0

girl and elephant. Attention: no one dies here and the ending is good, but the whole cartoon girl is dying because she was not bought a toy elephant and the whole cartoon we watch her get sick and they give her gifts but she wants an elephant as a result they brought her a real elephant and she recovered pic.twitter.com/TNGhh20gos

blue puppy. dada, I’ll still say about him, the cartoon was thought of as a good-natured fairy tale, but seas of tears of children came out who saw this masterpiece, but instructive, look at the actions and not at the appearance pic.twitter.com/zUvKsxanVU
