The fly, flying over the field, found a coin. Pleased with this fact, she went to the bazaar to buy a samovar and invite her friends to celebrate her birthday. But then a misfortune came - a spider burst into the festival and stole our fly. None of the guests decided to join the spider in a duel, except for a small, but brave gnat. Fortunately, everything worked out, and fly and gnat made a harmonious pair.

The painted rooster gets acquainted with the inhabitants of the barnyard and learns about the world.

A boy finds his way into the Little Red Riding Hood cartoon in order to save the girl from the Big Bad Wolf.

A Soviet cult cartoon, so untypical for a Western viewer, especially, a little one. A boy named Malysh ("A Little One") suffers from solitude being the youngest of the three children in a Swedish family. The acute sense of solitude makes him desperately want a dog, but before he gets one, he "invents" a friend - the very Karlson who lives upon the roof. So typical for the Russian culture spirit of mischief, which is, actually, never punished, and the notion that relative welfare not necessarily means happiness made the book by Astrid Lindgren and its TV adaptations tremendously popular in the Soviet Union and nowadays Russia and vice versa - somewhat alienated to the Western reader and viewer (see User's comments below). However, both the book and the cartoon are truly universal - entertaining and funny for the children and thought-provoking and somewhat sad for grownups.

The authors of the animated film devoted it to the eternal theme - the dangers of drunkenness. The main anti-hero is a half-liter bottle that creates trouble everywhere and brings evil to everyone who seeks a meeting with it. The plot in the style of silent films is accompanied by music and interspersed with propaganda rhymes.

A paint-on-glass animated film (one of the first of its kind) about a dying falcon and a stupid snake.

The fabulous journalist Murzilka, while on vacation, receives a telegram from the magazine's editor-in-chief in which Murzilka is instructed to make a photo portrait of a good boy or child inventor for the cover of the new issue.

About the causes of heart disease and the prevention of these dangerous diseases.

One of the many stories that happened to the Russian popular fairy tale character Murzilka.

Subtle coloring and an impressionistic approach to landscape distinguish this patriotic animated short set to music. After a flourishing Soviet hamlet is destroyed by Nazi planes, the sole survivor is confronted by a hulking Nazi commando in a tank. The military man tries to cajole the young violinist into repeating a jaunty harmonica melody at gunpoint but the boy strikes up a noble song of resistance instead. Stepantsev's film may romance the idea of martyrdom but it does so with a gravity not often found in similar films.

Murzilka sets forth for the known picture of Fyodor Pavlovich Reshetnikov "Again two". A boy considers that two on geography was put him unfairly. Murzilka examines him. Outliving the row of adventures, a student gives one's word to reform.

The film is made after the same named poem by Samuil Marshak. Mother mouse tries to find a nanny for her little mouse who can't sleep at night.The same poem was famously animated ( and orchestrated!) by Mikhail Tsekhanovsky with music of Dmitri Shostakovic

A young man falls in love with a young woman from the next window. A wordless fantasy inspired by Sergei Prokofiev's Visions fugitives, Op. 22.
