An odd little propaganda film from Soviet Russia
Created by Nikolai Voinov in 1934, using his "paper sound" technique
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variophone. - Фільми й анімація
They invented chip sound before soundchips. The audio waveforms were cut out of paper and photographed on film to be played through the optical sound sensor of the projector.
Basically what Daphne Oram "invented" 30 years later.
In the earliest period of the Soviet animation era they used to copy Hollywood's techniques of the same period of time. However by the end of 1930s they had developed their own style.
did they copy electronic music from hollywood tho?
It sounds more like a 1980s video game.
i know that’s exactly what i was saying
And then the dog turned into a water melon, funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
This sounds like an arcade game from the 80s
Or an early C64 title
1930's Commodore 64 lol
🤣
Holy hell, this is one of the most fascinating things ever.
And terrifying at the same time
sounds like those nintendo games I've once played on gameboy
Or Commodore 64... I'd be amazed if someone would make a game for Game Boy inspired by this cartoon. Graphics and music already there. Think about the rail scene, a good inspiring thing for a stage in the game!
@@gyrofrankthe main character Remember Miki from miki's world by nokia
@@listerstormablecartoonandt1103 It does.
Interesting. I was not aware of this very early form of synthesized music, and I studied electronic music in college and independently.
Surely they also told you that the Krautrock group (Kraftwerk) were the pioneers of electronic music and Giorgio Moroder's I Feel Love was Disco Music...🤦
7:57
Wild PIG
appeared!
Wild PIG uses WATERMELON THROW
Enemy PIG's attack missed!
The pig's name is thief
Man this is crazy
The animation at 3:28 is not like anything I've seen from a cartoon this old.
Sounds like 8-bit game music that was some forty or fifty years later.
Sounds just like the background music from all those public school science films.
8:38 they dismembered him while he was awake just because he stole watermelons
And if to believe subs, wanted to kill a dog
@@user-qi6pv9jh7oyou are right
This feels like a fever dream
This animation is very much like the animation work of Max Fleischer studio!
İn the earliest period of the Soviet animation they used to copy Hollywood's techniques of the same time.
0:41 sounds like a Pokemon intro theme!
2:46 Pokemon route!
3:28 WHAT THE FUCK
THE PERSPECTIVE SHIFT WOW
5:10 is great too, reminds me visually of Rhythm Heaven!
5:26 LOL THE BARKING
and 7:05
7:34 Rhythm Heaven again!!
7:58 вор! вор!!
You deserve 1k likes
It's crazy how this animation not only sounds like an old game but resembles actual games with some of its shots
For example 7:57 literally looks like an RPG fight
Game Boy music?
no
Variophone music
it's like original walt disney but on shrooms
Anti-US and war related issues "cutened " to indoctrinate youth, very evident in early Japanese animation as well. The grim elimination of the enemy is sweetened by depicting him as an unraveling line of string. (Popular animated euphemisms for death included characters plunged into water or blown thru walls "never to be seen again".) The art style is very much spun off the early SCRAPPY cartoons by Dick Heumer and the inking style of the OUT OF THE INKWELL cartoons, also presided over by Heumer, although the Russians probably didn't know his name or connect the two series. The credits' names are not translated, but this is directed by Aleksandr Vasilievich Ivanov. He would later denounce his early US influence, which was the prudent thing to do.
very well stated
I wonder where the anti-American theme is here. A pig doesn't look like America. Even the pig drinks vodka, like a typical Russian drunkard. I don't see a military theme here either, theft is an internal problem.
TODO EL CONCEPTO DE CARICATURA COMO UN ARTE A EVOLUCIONADO SIGNIFICATIVAMENTE EN 100 AÑOS.
ESTA ES UN TESORO PARA CONOCER EL DESARROLLO DE LA CARICATURA.
LO DIGO DESDE MI PERSPECTIVA DE DIBUJANTE.
In Soviet Russia, music composes you!
this goes hard
2:15 That looks like Scrappy, a Columbia cartoon character created by a Disney Legend Dick Heumer.
This style, I will call it "Russian Rubber Hose Animation"
awesome !!! thak you!!
Honestly, i can recreate this song if i wanted to, but, that's a lot of work so imma just like sit here for now...
Please that would be amazing, of course if you have enough time
@@gyrofrank imma try to get it started, gon have to listen to it hella times but it’ll be done
@@djrkcryt2568 👍
@@djrkcryt2568 Sorry for my late reply. I live in Italy so there are different times
@@gyrofrank understandable
The music sounds like an 80s South Asian movie.
And it’s like predating the golden age of anime (70s-90s) for sound effects and music.
6:45 Pacman ?
There were nationwide famines, and crop thieves were demonized. A very real problem that also served as a distraction from other issues.
It sounds like it's from an 8 bit video game
@@staspastukh2005It's because of a unique technology using cut paper and a special detector.
Basically chipune without the chip
@@TedSh Understood.
@@staspastukh2005 here's a similar technology
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_sound
there should be a restored version of this (unless if it was finished at this quality)
This cartoon was shot on 35mm film and would likely have been the equivilent of 4k in terms of sharpness. I sourced this from a 240p youtube upload, hence the quality. I might have a go at upscaling it at some point
@@oldfilmsandstuff4679 I hope this offer still stands a year later!
there's a version with better quality
ua-cam.com/video/BIMVpl-MRHk/v-deo.html
Yeah, most Soviet era films are much less quality. The budget, and the preservation just wasn't there.
It sounds a lot like the music from Game Boy Pokemon games especially from 3:14 to 3:30
Same here.
Crazy
Soviet created the Segway
7:56 and Pokémon Battle
Метод мультфильм часто пересмотрел. Довольно необычно у него стиль. Думаю сделать на него реанимацию
балдежный мультфильм .
If someone had said that this was a clip from the UK channel 4 programme "The Trip" I would've believed them.
This sounds like something out of the Commodore 64
Billy west goes to show Chaplin was not the only one using that tramp
Outfit and mannerisms.
Nice!
The original Monster house in 1934
Yes.
1930's POKEMON?!
I like the fact than the pig symbolise the Koulaks even in a thing like that there was propaganda
It's literally soviet production, ofc there's propaganda.
5:28 catchy
5:26 what a bark
8:38
if the soundtrack of atomic heart doesn't sound like this I refuse to buy it
Old Soviet drugs sound great
Comrade-dor 34
The soviets gave such little shit about the entertainment sector they didn't even give them music, animators had to conjure it out of thin fucking air using optical film soundtrack hardware, paper strips, and scissor handywork.
❤
Who never knew Russia had the most technology, I thought japan had more technology than other countries
The soviet union prevented a lot of this technology from spreading outside the country
Japan seriously? Germany, US, UK and France were many more advanced. Japan only takes things borrowed from the West and Russia, and then improves them.
Just because they have Robots does not make them more advanced than others, besides with Robots they were already experimented in the West long before Japan. Only that Japan was always very united with the West, even more after the American occupation.
Japan wasn’t a true technological leader until around the 1970s
@@oldfilmsandstuff4679 let's be honest, here was not that much technology to export, i know the case, i live in Russia :) But neither was in Japan. We're talking about 30s after all. All the important non-american technologies were created after WW2.
The Russians were already advanced before the fall in 1917 and before then they were already working on Electronic TV tests.
A soviet film from the 1930s... interesting
Actually USSR produced a lot of films in 30s, nothing really sirprising here.
Cette musique...
Quel instrument il utilise ???
In Russian it is called "Ниватон"(Nivaton), a grandgrandfather of systesisers. Of you want to know more, google "Paper sound in USSR"
NES. 1985.
Bomberman
how did the thief exactly die?
I’m confused as I don’t know the name of his death
To fade, I think
"Stringed" to death
well that was a bit cracksmokey
0:41
Почему под советским мультиком английские комментарии?
It's important history no matter where you live. Also the video, the subtitles, and the channel are also in English.
Если использовать мозг, можно очень быстро найти логичный ответ.
1:17
Смотрю и вижу дом и фонарь который светит без проводов и дом который возмущается зачем его прицепили к линии проводов тогда как фонарь светит от ничего, так это говорят жильцам чтобы защитить вас от кого либо прошло немного время вот и вор нарисовался, ну вот пошла телеграмма Васе и дружку мы вам платили защищайте ну тд сами додумай.
This is officially like the real-life version of ATOMIC HEART! 😆
Puro disney y a la vez electronico 😂
I'd like to quote Krusty the Clown: "What the hell was that?"
Early soviet animation, with copying Disney's style, and own electronic music
Estos rusos ya vivian en el año 2055
Man the USSR was really ahead of its time, almost like Communism wasn't a bad idea after all ;)
7 million deaths but we do have electronic music 💕
Ok, so now we're at the point where one short cartoon is a proof that soviet sistem based on terror was right🤡
Were they doing drugs making these? 🤔
you cant do electronic music in the 30’s that makes no sense
And yet it's crazy how this video has it
you actually can have music in 1930s. i was looking for history of electronic music to find out
They had electronic music in the 1800s actually, it just wasn't popular.
They did have electronic music in the 1930s, things are older then you think
Позорище
@Konstantin цэевропеец, я бы сказал)
Другого ответа от чела с таким ником сложно было бы ожидать...
Сам ты позорище
Для того времени этот мультфильм делал многие технически очень сложные вещи. Конечно, он делал их для советской пропаганды, а не для создания художественно ценного мультфильма, но несмотря на это уровень этой анимации удивляет
