It looks like the short film tells the backstory of a moderately well-fed man in his prime.
The Russian YouTuber sndk, with the help of enthusiasts, was able to find and restore the cartoon "Heart" from the director of the cartoon dilogy about Carlson Boris Stepantsev.
This 8-minute video was made by Soyuzmultfilm in 1971 by order of the WHO to talk about the causes of heart disease and the prevention of these diseases. According to available information, it was never broadcast anywhere, while the cartoon was found on an ancient website dedicated to animation.
Technically, the cartoon is not related to Carlson, but there are too many similarities to ignore. The same people worked on the project, and the design of the character is very similar to Carlson.
The hero of the short film puts his heart under stress in every possible way: he eats a lot of fatty foods, drinks alcohol and smokes. At the same time, he refuses morning exercises, starts to be late for work and turns from a slender man into an obese Carlson, whom we know. Luckily, a nurse saves him at the last moment.
sndk first posted a short video dedicated to the find, and then published a separate cartoon on the second channel. Here he is:
Before publication, the video was restored: the resolution was increased and color correction was made.
