I looked up Smeshariki, thanks for the req but I don't want to watch that haha, I guess it could be a nice show for kids.
Couldn't find any "Gassini" project on Youtube but I found some other nice stuff - Grissini project with beautiful music with classical instruments (they seem to be super popular too?) and Cassini project with a cover song of "A Bonfire Of Dreams" from Berserk, of course beautiful.
I'm not done checking them out but I'm not sure which of these you intended to recommend? Haha. I appreciate both finds.
Agreed, lets forget about it. Ok I'll look up "Smeshariki" :) it doesn't even sound russian, sounds like some turkish kebab lol. I have no idea why.
I'm not sure I liked Mumin that much as a kid either actually. Well I liked it decently, it just wasn't a favourite. I think I remember liking Snufkin especially though.
Snusmumriken to me, Nuuskamuikkunen to Finns, Włóczykij to you (apparently). That sounds polish by the way. I liked him.
I'm stuck in a rewatch rut. Something reminded me of Katanagatari so I got an impulse to rewatch it (only did partially). The song "Forces" came up in my recs on Youtube so now I feel like rewatching Berserk (the -97 version) for the umpteenth time. How do I get out of this loop?
I probably overreacted (sorry about that), at some point hearing Soviet again and again weirded me out.
If you remember it fondly it's your business, many others do not. It's still an interesting era to look into and ask about, that's what I think. Something in our conversation triggered me though, d'oh!
The last sentence was not meant to sound deprecatingly hostile (that was in the earlier sentences..), that was just a a frustrated plea asking what I was really wondering about from the start, do you have any homegrown interesting animations (possibly ones I haven't heard of before = even more interesting).
You started mentioning "soviet" so much in every single f*cking sentence that I'm questioning if you're being upfront at all, or just a troll. And the "questioning" part is a lie, with all that there's no way you're being honest.
(Hey Kremlin, this guy is not a traitor, he is either a spy of yours or doing everything he can to get other Europeans to love Soviet Russia! Hi comrade)
Judging from your profile you were born after the Soviet Union ended. Do you have anything at all that was made in your own glorious country that you love and could share?
Ok nice, but I kind of wanted a special recommendation from you. Some childrens cartoons are just onesided silly cartoons, and some also have more of an underlying story. count to 6 you listed that I haven't watched. You mentioned The 10th kingdom separately and "fondly" - is that your recommendation? I'd just like a pointer where to start. I'm glad for the other ones too but yeah. I've never viewed Swedish voice actors as "gods" so I'm wondering about that comment too.
Guess it would be fun to compare all the childhood favs you remember, we have many similar ones. Are any of the soviet ones available in any other language? Say English maybe? I won't ask for Swedish. I always wanted to learn finnish if you have any of those in fin dub but the learning curve will be high. Deutsch could maybe be half understandable too. Now that I think about it, I don't know if Ronja is available in other languages.
Would you recommend any of all those you listed as more suited to an all age audience (including adult)? Including nice music? I get flashbacks from all the times I was babysitting my nephew and all he wanted to watch all the time was the same Pixar movie "Cars", I guess he's a rewatcher like me. After the tenth time I actually gained a new appreciation for it (either that or I went insane).
The danish one was a surprise, I remember that but only from a PC game (I think?). And I always thought it was swedish.. :O
I appreciate the translation cause it's fun to know and the transliteration because I don't read kyrillic very well.. :) and how do you even know the word lillebror?
Happy to hear you liked it! Yes the shots are from the movie. The movies name is "Ronja Rövardotter" or in IMDB (apparently) Ronia:The Robber's Daughter (from 1984). Before I was born D:
Yeah I heard there's a new version of Ronja on Netflix. I haven't watched it yet but colleagues at my job talked about it. Remaking an old beloved classic can be risky, the general verdict (as far as I've heard) seems to be that it's not worse but "different", can't be compared. Among other things it's supposedly more scary O_O
Do you have any similar (non-Astrid) childhood favourites?
Was it really called "Karlsson" in Russia? It must have been translated to something else or changed right?
Aww, you didn't watch Ronja :( it has so many epic music tracks too. Please forgive me for what I'm about to do... overshare!
This one is called "The wolf song": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzHetqFABw4
Even though you don't have all the kid nostalgia that i do for it, I still think it can stand on it's own. It's a song from the mom in the movie to her newborn daughter Ronja.
One of the most popular covers with maybe a more nordic feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTmatjyd4KM
That's besides all the other great music from the movie!
"I started watching Samurai Champloo, like, 3 years ago 😂"
Lol, oops. But you updated it recently? Guess it's another one you didn't like. Damnit! Can we ever agree on any show ever? I can't remember if we even had any show that we both love? Besides Mushishi, but I don't think we ever even talked about that one.
So changing subjects.. did you ever watch any Astrid Lindgren childrens movies? Ronja is pretty sweet, right? (i love that movie, the original)
I'm doing good, thanks. The weather is nice (you shouldn't complain) but when it's +25 Celsius in May, in Sweden, I'm worried for the coming summer.
Anything above +25 makes me melt. I also don't have AC in my home and my home soaks up all the heat really quickly but is slow to release it.
We had very weird weather here too, +20 a few days and then shortly after snow. I mean wtf? I always expect the snow, and then the sun, but not summer hot one day and snow the next day. It's insane.

I was thinking of making a visit to Estonia.

Soviet TV? Soviet education? Soviet everything? Soviet world?
And also happy Friday!

My first impression was kind of bad but it grew on me.
Anything above +25 makes me melt. I also don't have AC in my home and my home soaks up all the heat really quickly but is slow to release it.
We had very weird weather here too, +20 a few days and then shortly after snow. I mean wtf? I always expect the snow, and then the sun, but not summer hot one day and snow the next day. It's insane.
