Dear Natalie
There is a very large selection of cartoons / skazki on DVD at Ruslania in 
Helsinki.

(Ruslania has nothing to do with Ruslan Ltd)

> Nikudyshko
> Teplyj xlib
> Muzychny kartynky

>> 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.
