cartoons again

[Laura Pontieri Hlavacek]

Hello Natalie,
as I mentioned in my previous e-mail, www.animator.ru can be of great  
help for you.
If you type a title in the search box, you will get several information  
about the film, including how it has been released (VHS, DVD,  
VideoCD...) and sometimes where you can buy it.
ex. Terem-teremok : http://www.animator.ru/db/?p=show_film&fid=2563
I ordered some films at ozon.ru and russianDVD.com a couple of years  
ago.
Sometimes animator.ru tells you in which collection you can find the  
film but doesn't mention any online store - you can always try to  
google the name of the collection.
You can find several animated films based on folktales in the  
collection:
- V mire skazok - released by Krupnyi plan
- Liubimye Mul'tiki - released by Soiuz
Good luck!
