Vinni Pukh: Commie Cuteness

I stumbled across this after running into the previously posted Bluebeard. Something about this little bear chatting up a pig seemed awfully familiar, and in searching around, I found that, in fact, this was the Soviet Winnie the Pooh. (Did I see remnants of this when I was in Eastern Germany? Am I making this up? Need to research that further...)

There's a ton more of this squat ball of guff here.

The Vinni Pukh cartoons, along with a ton of other amazing work, were made by Soyuzmultfilm. More on that Soviet animation powerhouse later. Until then, enjoy the gravely voiced, unquestionably tougher, communist Pooh.
