For #WeirdSovietCartoons. This gem is called FRU-89. Fru is short for frustration, and this here is a 4 minute long full blast frustration. I mean. I don’t even know. Watch it and we’ll never talk about it again.
Dir. Ivan Maksimov, 1989
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.
I want to start this installment of #WeirdSovietCartoons with this earworm of a song performed by a sexy fish with Angelina Jolie lips.
“In The Blue Sea, In The White Foam” is weird in the best sense. There are walking fish, all sorts of crazy underwater creatures, and complete disregard for the laws of physics.
Armenfilm 1984, dir. Robert Sahakyants
Watch with English subtitles:
Next installment of Weird Soviet Cartoons brings us Investigation Held by Kolobki (1986). The title of this cartoon is an allusion to , a popular Soviet crime series.
This one is actually dubbed in English - enjoy. :)
I promised you some weird Soviet cartoons, and here you go. This one is from 1978. It’s about a man and an alien finding contact through music. The Godfather theme song to be exact.
No translation needed. Enjoy this psychedelic gem.
