          an old cartoon that you can watch now

          I watched this cartoon many times as a child. And I will be happy to watch it in my adult life.

          An old cartoon that you can watch now.

          In general, this is a fairy tale for all time, and now it is relevant no less than 50 years ago. And this film adaptation fascinates with its brevity and accuracy, they took all the most important things from the book, compressed it and got a masterpiece.

          Such cartoons, in my opinion, are CLASSICS.

          Such cartoons, in my opinion, are classic. I think that it is on such cartoons that children should be brought up, and we, adults, should think about how to make such cartoons that foster a sense of justice and mutual assistance are not perceived as potentially extremist content.
