Christmas story

Let this Christmas tree make us happy with every needle!

When you decorate the Christmas tree, you just want to hum this cute song from the cartoon under your breath. A tale about the Snow Monster, which guards the forest from noise, from din, from any dashing. The Monster is not allowed to sleep either by bullfinches, or by little animals, or by the boys who came to pick up the Christmas tree. Everyone was driven away by the Snowy One, and only the girl managed to make friends with him and bring a Christmas tree to school to celebrate the New Year. Incredibly kind and wonderful mood from watching.

Last year's snow fell

What kind of New Year is it without a Christmas tree?!

“I wanted to film Last Year’s Snow, but they told me that I needed to film something about pioneers collecting scrap metal. The scandal lasted four days. And on the fifth I came and said: “Okay. I want to make a cartoon about Lenin.” Then they tensed up: “What kind of cartoon is this?” “Well,” I say, “Lenin was a very cheerful person.” If I make a funny movie about Lenin, everyone will laugh.” They asked: “Can we not talk about Lenin?” - “I’m a famous director, I want about Lenin.” For two weeks I went and demanded: I want about Lenin! And he achieved what he wanted: do what you want - just not about Lenin! And I made “Last Year’s Snow.” (A. Tatarsky, director).

New Year's episode “Well, just wait!”

My best gift is you!

"Wait for it!" - an attribute of the childhood of all Russians. These are sweet memories, this is an indispensable pure bursting laughter, a sea of kindness and a lot of good, positive emotions. "Wait for it!" can safely be called a legend of Soviet animation. “The Song of Father Frost and the Snow Maiden” was written especially for this issue, which each of us knows by heart - after all, such creativity, into which we put our whole soul and spirit, is impossible to forget.

Nutcracker

This cartoon is just a gift for children and adults. A stunning combination of magical music by Tchaikovsky and the famous fairy tale by Hoffmann. The sincere warmth with which the cartoon was created gives the same magic that comes from childhood, making you once again admire the amazing fate of the toothy knight and marvel at the beauty of New Year's Eve. It's impossible to tear yourself away.

Santa Claus and summer

Santa Claus in the summer?! Who allowed it?!

One day, Grandfather Frost wanted to know what summer was, and went to the children to look at this miracle of nature. Why, one might ask, does grandpa need such a test? And the whole point is that, while distributing New Year's gifts to the children, he kept hearing from them how nice it was in the summer and how soon it would come. The result is a cheerful children's cartoon accompanied by a playful song with a very unchildish irony.

Winter in Prostokvashino

If the form is congratulatory, you must first congratulate the recipient! - Well, okay, okay... Congratulations to you, Sharik, you idiot!

Due to the cold weather and different views on winter shoes, Sharik and Matroskin stopped talking. Postman Pechkin is trying to reconcile them, but this is a difficult and expensive matter. Dad and Uncle Fyodor are going to Prostokvashino for the New Year. But mom has completely different plans: “Blue Light” will not wait. It’s amazing how in 15 minutes Vladimir Popov was able to put so much meaning, irony and incendiary jokes, which were immediately taken away for quotes.

When the Christmas trees are lit

They say on New Year's Eve that whatever you wish will always happen, everything will always come true!

Santa Claus with gifts hurries to the city to visit the children - to congratulate them on the New Year. But along the way, two gifts are lost: a bunny for the girl Lucy and a teddy bear for Vanya. But children who have behaved well all year and have been preparing for the holiday by learning songs cannot be left without gifts! Because when, if not on the New Year, miracles should happen and cherished wishes come true.

Christmas Eve

Those who have the devil behind their shoulders don’t have to go far.

Not everyone is so lucky to ride the Devil and appear at the palace of the Queen herself. But the blacksmith Vakula was lucky. He saw a lot of witchcraft and miracles on Christmas night! And all this in order to earn the love of a capricious beauty. Fabulous Gogol's Ukraine, inky skies and heavy snowy winter. Nikolai Gogol knew how to create a real fairy tale - it is not surprising that the cartoon, based on the work of the same name, turned out to be magical.

Winter's Tale

You've been saying all winter that you're a snowflake. I was so afraid that you would melt by spring...

The Winter's Tale is an old but timeless story about the Little Bear, who is helped by the Hedgehog, about winter and mutual assistance. In the cartoon world, everything is simple: if it’s winter, it’s cold and bad, if you’re sick, then friends come, and if someone helps, then everything will certainly get better. Isn’t it this simplicity and confidence that we so often lack in our everyday bustle?

The Snow Queen

There is nothing stronger than a devoted heart!

A cartoon based on Andersen's fairy tale about endlessly devoted love, ready to conquer any elements and overcome any distance. It turned out to be so wonderful that it earned wide recognition abroad, and the famous Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki called it one of his favorite films. Even though all this is fabulous, it is incredibly true and close to the soul, because this is probably what love should be like.

Snowman postman

Where is this? Well, what's his name?

Tomorrow is New Year, but the children don’t have a Christmas tree. The guys decided to ask Santa Claus for a Christmas tree. To do this, they sculpted a Snowman and gave him a letter with a request. The Snowman will have to overcome many difficulties, but kids can’t do without magic! The film was made in traditional Soviet animation quality. The musical accompaniment was written by the outstanding composer Nikita Bogoslovsky, and the best actors in the country voiced the characters.

What New Year cartoons do you like and watch? We look forward to your feedback and advice!

Soviet New Year's cartoons have no analogues. The animated world is the same fairy tale for a child as a book, but in addition to the book, the cartoon is also visual. I hope that your children will like my selection, enjoy it with them, it’s so nice to feel like a child again.

I answer the question

Greetings to all readers of my blog. Today I will take the opportunity to answer a question that moms often ask me:

How and how many cartoons my son watches.

I am one of those parents who do not leave their child near the TV to watch cartoons. Advertising, the inability to choose – all this is not for us. My son Alexander watches cartoons every day. In the morning after breakfast - one cartoon, then we go to kindergarten. In the evening – 1-2 cartoons, depending on their size. If it's long, then one. Evening viewing depends on the foreign language class. If we are studying English, then the cartoon will be accordingly, if we are studying French - . With dad in “boy days”, watching videos in Spanish. There is information about our family’s traditions and dad’s participation in them.

I download all the cartoons except the Spanish ones (we have them on disks). If you use Mozilla Firefox, then download on Youtube appears automatically under the screen, and downloading your favorite video to your computer is not difficult. After which I distribute the downloaded materials into folders, depending on the language. Thus, finding the one you need is not difficult. But I recommend watching via a computer or tablet without downloading via Google Chrome. There are fewer lags on this browser.

In general, as for young children, we parents must give them the opportunity to concentrate as much as possible on watching. Sometimes the owners of video channels forget who educational videos and cartoons are intended for. And mom only has time to close pop-up windows, advertisements and the like. I'll give you a simple solution:

Click on the “settings” wheel at the bottom of the video.
A window will pop up, you need to select “Annotations” and move the circle to the left side. The red color will disappear.
Click on the “big screen” and you and your baby can safely enjoy it.

I’ll start with a cartoon for older children, because they also need to create a pre-holiday mood.

Snow Maiden

“Spring Tale” by Ostrovsky to music by Rimsky-Korsakov. This 1952 cartoon is suitable for older children, as it talks about love, devotion and fidelity. In this fairy tale, the Snow Maiden breaks hearts and couples; all the young men in the area are in love with her. And she dies not from jumping over a fire, but from the spring sun. Beautiful operatic voices are combined with Russian folk songs.

Snow Maiden

And this is exactly the fairy tale from 1969, where the Snow Maiden jumps over the fire and melts. It can be watched with younger children.

The right remedy

A good winter cartoon from 1982 about a bear cub who couldn’t sleep. His friends, forest musicians, helped him do this.

A Christmas tree was born in the forest (1972)

The boy creates his own film about the Christmas tree and shows it to his toys. Of course, they sing a song of the same name, which is interrupted by... Grandfather Frost.

Gray neck

I think that no one needs to present this story from 1948. We have it on disk and we watch it not only in winter; every time Alexander worries about the duckling as if for the first time. But as we all know, good triumphs.

Grandfather and grandson

A wonderful Soviet cartoon from 1950 about a bear cub who lived with his grandfather bear and decided to learn to skate when he needed to sleep. At first, the grandfather did not approve of his grandson’s initiative, but when he came to the skating rink and saw the children’s festive performance, he himself wanted to skate.

Come to the skating rink

The 1981 cartoon will be of interest to all children from the age of two, especially those who are starting to take up figure skating, hockey, or just learning to skate. A cartoon with almost no words, where the activities at or near the skating rink are very clear. Yesterday Alexander and I read a book that mentioned winter swimming. The child did not yet know what it was and I had to explain. Then I found this cartoon and it all clicked into my head on this issue.

Snow paths

From the previous series about “different” children. The cartoon does a good job of showing the good and the bad. Good, of course, wins.

New year's night

When describing Soviet New Year’s cartoons, I couldn’t pass by this one – “New Year’s Eve” of 1948. As a child I watched it with my parents, and now with my son. Alexander liked the cartoon for its unusualness, and indeed, it is not at all similar to today's videos.

Plot: it was not easy to get Santa Claus the most beautiful Christmas tree, but of course he coped with the task. New Year's Eve here is a young boy flying on a plane - Santa Claus is his grandfather. There is also Leshy, who does not want to give up the Christmas tree.

When the Christmas trees are lit

One of our favorite cartoons (1950). How many generations have grown up with it, and it still remains a favorite among kids.

Twelve months

Last year, my son and I read the fairy tale “The Twelve Months.” But at three years old she was still a little difficult for a child. And this year he took it well. I am sure that the 1956 cartoon of the same name will complement Alexander’s impressions.
