A few months ago Jordan Mechner, whom you love and admire for game classics like Karateka, Prince of Persia and The Last Express, tweeted about watching the soviet Winnie-the-Pooh animation and loving it. In response, I promised to make a post about soviet animation I grew up with and could recommend for watching. With me being lazy this took a few months longer than I planned, but a promise is a promise. And I ended up adding animation from countries who were in one way or the other (as usual against their will) part of the soviet bloc and translated into Russian for soviet citizen consumption. Here’s a list of stuff you should consider watching.
