A great cartoon originally created by a Russian-Japanese team and then translated to other languages, including English. The Russian version is Priklyucheniya pingvinenka Lolo (1986) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0997087/maindetails
Most pleasant thing about this cartoon is that the animals are as close to the nature as possible, which is rare (both in American and Russain cartoons, not sure about other parts of the world.) I'm Russian and so far I've seen only the Russian version, and the funny thing is that before I read the comments here, I was convinced that the bad guys were Americans :))) After that I've carefully watched the cartoon once again with my 2 year-old daughter (who loves it, though does not completely understand some things yet) and: the only allusion to the poachers' nationality was their dog's name - Jack. No direct references, no flag, no accent. All of us are just victims of the cold war, actually :)
What else...

- savagestar180 said "this movie is even greater then those Disney movies. For it contains almost no violence", while in the Soviet Union it was the first cartoon where blood was shown
- One of the Russian animators who created this cartoon, A. Dorogov, now works for «Walt Disney» and participated in, for example, Lilo & Stitch http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1819960/.
