cartoons again

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Dear Fellow List members,

I have some more cartoon questions.  What I would like to know is:

1) Where can I get good quality copies (preferably DVD) of cartoon on  
classic folktale topics?  What I have in mind is Vaselisa Prikrasnaia,  
Tsarevna liagushka, Sistrisa Alionushka i bratik Ivanushka,  
Molodil'nye Iabloki, Kot kotofeevich, Zmei Gorynishche, Terem teremok,  
and that sort of thing - essentially Afanas'ev in mul'tiki form.  I  
have, courtesy of the nice people on this list, Nazarov's Zhyl byl pes  
and that is the right sort of material.  Is there anything else?   
YouTube is good - which is where I got the dog cartoon.  I'm happy to  
buy DVDs as well.

BTW, I have old and very bad resolution copies of these things.  So  
they exist and I would suspect that someone has made nice digital  
copies by now.

Question 2) Were any cartoons produced in Ukrainian?  Presumably there  
weren't any during the Soviet period.  But what about after?  Did any  
studio start putting about children's material in the Ukrainian  
language?  Again, I have Zhyl byl pes and though it states that it is  
based on a Ukrainian folktale, the language of the cartoon is Russian.

I offer my thanks in anticipation of your help.
