I never really questioned it since i grew up watching these soviet cartoons, but the work of David Cherkasky is very….recognizable.
Very little shows up when i googled him, i don’t even know whether he’s still alive or not. But he had a very unique style of meshing cutout animation with hand drawn sequences, and an unconventional character art style.
All of his most known works he directed were produced under Kyivnaukfilm during USSR including Doctor Aibolit (literal translation “doctor ouch it hurts”) linked above,
Adventures of Captain Wrongel, and my personal favourite is his adaptation of Treasure Island. I watched it nonstop on VCR every time i was back in russia. I really like some of the moving perspective animation. it is very clear the man loved ships and pirates
This is the only photo i could find of him in my first search, pictured far right, along with Yuri Norstein(center), and Eduard Vasilevich(left) the original designer of russian winnie the pooh.
Whether it be when you feel you don’t belong, when you feel upset, when you’re angry, when you’re going through a hard time or when you’re feeling empty. (Social Experiment: I want to see how many people do this)
I don’t know the amount of times I have sat in history class and wondered how someone like Hitler could have ever gotten far enough in government to have that kind of power, but now I’m watching it happen live in the U.S and I’m terrified.
I’m feeling really down because of all that.. can’t even imagine what it’s like for US people who don’t want, don’t deserve all this Keep your head up and get some rest! Be safe!
