So, this is interesting theme to discuss...
I am from Russia and interested to know if you watched something from modern russian animation movies/series?
In our country we have a rather controversial issue with animation, and that’s why I want to know if people in other countries know anything from modern russian cartoons. :)
I really like the three boyatyrs, has a lot of jokes you dont see in western animation anymore.
I would like to watch more russian animation but it's really hard to find subtitles for them.
the ussr produced better toons. I liked We Can't Live Without Cosmos though.
Sometimes I feel they play it safer than americans, and the quality of the final products get affected by that.
i LOVE old soviet stuff like baseduzmultfilm and such. insane amounts of great designs and animation work
i keep forgetting that s o y uzmultfilm changes to baseduzmultfilm
I have only watched Snow Queen but I am interested in mire animated projects, what do you suggest, user?
I'd rather kill myself than watch anything from that shithole
That’s absolutely true. Our animation studios are very afraid of experiments, because if a new project does not pay off, then the money is considered wasted.
I can give an example - a studio that existed since the USSR, Basedzmultfilm. Now this studio lives only on reboots of old projects, who do not need changes, because they already have been perfect. All new project were canceled be due lack of money (and this is absolutely a lie, because studio funded by government itself).
Of course, we have experiment animation cartoons. 2D traditional animated movie named “Ginger’s Tale” for example. In modern animation it’s a rarity one.
S o y z multfilm, idk why it’s changing...
because "s o y" changes to "based". i dont have any problem with calling s o y uzmultfilm based, tho
Ah, ok, now I get it, thank you!

No, but more diversity in my media consumption is always good. Any semi-serious or adult stuff?
lmao gopniks
where my dvach bros at
I've seen Snow Queen 1-3, I like them for what they are.
Are they good?
Heroes of Envell is alright.
All projects from studio Parovoz is good, indeed. I like Fairytale Patrol, Leo and Tig. :)
honestly I don't really get the impression there's much room for creativity in the russian federation, is this largely a product of having previously been the ussr?
As I said earlier: in our country they are afraid that the project may not pay off. Plus a crisis of ideas.
There are a couple of webseries that may fit your bill, but most of them aren't translated.
"Mr.Freeman" - a dude philosophizing about how the modern world sucks.
youtube.com
"Masyanya" - slice-of-life about a young woman and her friends, being made by one guy since 2001. A few eps have been fansubbed and there's a handful of silent ones.
youtube.com
"Mythological Mythology" - a brutally honest look at aspects of life like power, religion, patriotism etc. Unfortunately I can't find any translation, which is a shame, because the writing is killing it.

Where can i watch these?
Kikoriki is available on Youtube with an official dub.

Studio Melnitsa films are on Youtube too, but not translated.

What was that one show about a dude and a couple of kids in a well-known clock tower/other kind of tower? IIRC it was based on some old Russian stories/books. An user was trying to sub it way way way back, years ago.

Bumping with some Youtube animation from Russia
They are solid. They won't necessarily impress you, but I thought they were comfy. For movie 1, they stick closer to the actual Snow Queen tale than Frozen did, but take their own liberties. The later movies build on the things they established that weren't in the original tale.
The budget of the movies aren't that high, so don't go in expecting super impressive visuals(the first movie had a 7 million dollar budget).
Well holy shit, I found it. Taйнa Cyхapeвoй бaшни aka Mystery of the Sukharov Tower.
What do you think about: ?
