Now about these and some other cartoons in more detail.
"The Adventures of Leopold the Cat"
The idea of a cartoon that would teach children kindness and friendship arose between two directors Arkady Hayt and Anatoly Reznikov. Initially, the leadership of the Soyuz studio did not approve of the plot. The cartoon was banned from showing, but the directors did not give up. Their perseverance was rewarded. In the early 80s, "The Adventures of Leopold the Cat" began to show on the main channel of the country.
The main characters of the cartoon are harmful mouse pranksters and the cat Leopold. The mice in each series try to anger the cat, doing him different dirty tricks. At the end of the series, they understand that they were wrong, and tearfully apologize. A good cat always forgives them, because it is very bad to keep all grievances in the heart. Leopold is a real intellectual who is used to solving problems peacefully. He is a great mod. Always clean and neatly dressed. Particularly noteworthy is his large, purple bow around his neck.
"Bremen Town Musicians" - one of the best cartoons of the Soviet years
The troubadour and his faithful comrades (Dog, Cat, Donkey and Rooster) earn their living by their songs. They come to the king’s castle and begin a fun performance. The king and princess watch them from the balcony. Seeing a girl, Troubadour falls in love with her without memory. He tries to perform as best as possible in order to win her heart. But the king does not like the numbers, nor the actors. He drives the speakers away from the castle. A young man in love does not want to live without a beautiful girl, and a plan is born in his head on how to win over the king and get into the castle.
In the rating list of the best Soviet cartoons "Bremen Town Musicians" always occupies a worthy place. The audience liked him so much that a sequel was released. The second part was released in 1973, and the third in 2000.
"Crocodile Gene and Cheburashka"
Many generations of children managed to fall in love with the green crocodile Gena in a bright jacket and green cap and his best friend, little Cheburashka.

The cartoon was directed by Roman Kachanov and released by Soyuzmultfilm studio in 1969.
Cheburashka lives in a telephone box. He is terribly bored, because he has no friends at all. Somehow, walking along the streets, he notices a bright announcement.

"Crocodile Gene and Cheburashka" - one of the best Soviet cartoons in the ranking.
"Wait for it!"
The most popular cartoon among Soviet children. In the early 2000s there was even a game for mobile phones in which you could control either a wolf or a hare. "Well, wait a minute" always gets into the rating of Soviet cartoons.
