Description

Ну, погоди! (literal English translation: Just you wait!) is a cartoon series about two anthropomorphic animals named Volk (Wolf) and Zayats (Hare). The plot slightly resembles that of Tom and Jerry or The Road Runner Show; the director (Vyacheslav Kotyonochkin) has admitted that he was learning from the USA animated series. However, in Ну, погоди! you won't see that "toonish" humor that deals with pies in the face, anvils, mallets and dynamite. This series is less violent than its American prototypes and has softer, more intellectual humor.

The "classical" 16 episodes were produced at the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow between 1969 and 1986. The series was cancelled soon after the death of Anatoly Papanov (voice of Volk). In 1993 the studio attempted to revive the series using Papanov's old voice samples; two more episodes were produced this way. In 2005 Christmas Films studio announced the production of new episodes; Volk and Zayats will be voiced by other actors.

@katyamiller: In my opinion, cartoons both then and now exist, both good and bad.

Today I watched "Well, wait a minute" and you know, it turns out that this is not just a cartoon about animals that look like people. It's a whole fantasy. A post-apocalypse for humanity.

It's amazing how such a universe could be stuffed into such a cartoon. Everything is very simple. The fact is that BEFORE animals like the Wolf and the Hare, there were people in that world. This can be seen in the series in the museum: there is a caveman, there is human armor, there is a painting of the Egyptians, there is even the Venus de Milo. That is, people really lived there once! But then the upright animals came from somewhere and either enslaved us, or simply destroyed us. All that remains of all mankind is our culture, which these creatures have adopted from us exactly, right down to alcoholics watching football in an alcoholic T-shirt and with a fish in their hands.

Interestingly, not all animals in the world are "Well, wait" upright and intelligent. There are horses that are still riding and animals and there are even ordinary domestic cats. If you watch the entire series, the most common animals will be Wolves, Hares, Hippos and Dogs. There are also Lions and Bears. From this, it can be assumed that the Wolf is chasing the Hare not because of hunger, because they have a developed food industry, adopted from humans, but because of some ideological differences. It is possible that these are two hostile alien species, although Hares do not feel such hatred for Wolves.

Old Soviet cartoons are wonderful, and this one is no exception. Probably the most favorite cartoon of childhood
