Suggestions?

[Maryna Vinarska]

Just because not only Troe iz Prostokvashino, but Astrid Lindgren too were mentioned here, I decided to check what Russian cartoons and movies Amazon has at all. But it seems that without knowing the directors‘ or producers' names you can‘t get a clear picture very quickly. However, what struck me most is the presence of Fantomas Contre Scotland Yard among Russian movies
 Although it was not the only surprise.

Yes, it is never too early to inspire interest in Russian literature, however, I myself would also use either movies or cartoons for children. Dialogs in cartoons are usually very simple and easy, if there are any at all. It won‘t be a problem to translate them for children. At the same time, they can pick up a couple of Russian words when watching.

 Amazon, whatever bizarre things and comments I saw when searching,  has at least smth I would definitely recommend to those having children. Here is the list of what I found without too much searching: 

1. The Adventures of Buratino / Priklucheniia Buratino (absolutely GREAT movie with GREAT actors,  and a lot of songs). It seems that it is only in Russian, but I recommend it anyway. It's a movie for children. Dialogs are simple. Not only children, but adults too will enjoy it.
2. Krasnaia shapochka (also a good movie with plenty of songs)
3. Eralash, the so called detskij jumoristicheskij kinozhurnal, which is a big collection of very short films about children. Every film is normally no longer than 15 minutes. They are always very funny and very witty.
4. I'll Get You! / Nu Pogodi! (cartoon; from the customer‘s comment: All one needs to know to understand this series are the following: "Zayats" means "Hare", "Volk" means "Wolf," & "Nu, Pogodi" means "Just you wait, I'll get you," in Russian. This makes up for over 90% of the dialogue in the series. I would rate this a 10 out of 10; it is a definite must-see! )
5. About Cossacks / Vse O Kozakah - PAL (series of cartoons, absolutely GREAT, adults enjoy them too)
6. The adventures of captain Wrongel / Priklyucheniya kapitana Vrungelya (1979) (series of cartoons)
7. Carlson, Who Lived On the Roof / Karlson, Kotoriy Zhiviot na Kryshe - PAL (series of cartoons)  GREAT
8. Troe iz Prostokvashino ( Three from Prostokvashino ) (series of cartoons)  GREAT
9. Zakoldovannyj mal'chik, zhil-byl pes i dr. - Sbornik mul'tfil'mov ("Zhil byl pes" is GREAT, adults like it)

Here is the list of the best Russian cartoons from a friend of mine, not complete, unfortunately. You can use it trying to find these cartoons on Amazon site or at Russian stores.
