Favorite characters, cartoon characters: the brightest animated images

Along with full-length films, the animation genre always comes alongside. From year to year, a huge number of cartoons are created, which not only children watch with pleasure. To say more - for every adult, animation rooted in childhood is nothing more than a step to growing up. The number of cartoon characters drawn and loved over the decades is truly impressive. In this article, we will highlight the most famous of them.

Domestic heroes are the best

More than one generation has grown up on them, they are remembered by our parents and grandparents. All of them, painfully familiar to every Russian, are characters. Cartoon heroes of Soviet films rightfully occupy the first place. Agree, there are hardly those who will shrug their shoulders at the mention of “Well, wait!”. All twenty issues, since 1969, the wolf is desperately trying to catch the hare, which, in turn, always deftly runs away. The animated series popular in the Soviet Union in each series reflects the concept of friendship, and often the wolf and the hare go hand in hand.

“Three from Prostokvashino” tells about a smart boy, Uncle Fyodor, who leaves his parents to live in a village. There he lives with the local dog Sharik and the household cat Matroskin. The characters also include the curious dreaming of getting a bicycle for the missing boy.

The adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's work, "The Kid and Carlson", became the first Soviet cartoon to use the technique of electrography. The audience got to know the bored boy and his new friend Karlson, who lives on the roof, as well as the “housewife” Freken Bock.

"Leopold the Cat" was released in 1975. The popular cat, perhaps the kindest of all the pets shown on the screen, in each episode fights the leprosy of two mice, urging young viewers to live together.

In addition, “Dunno”, who went to the moon, “Doctor Aibolit”, “Cheburashka” and his faithful friend “Funtika”, who escaped to the wizard, and many others, can be attributed to the classics of Russian animation.

New era of Russian animation

Leaving Soviet examples in the past, the capabilities of the current technology have earned their indispensability in modern times. With new works, new characters are presented to the public - cartoon characters are no less colorful and memorable. Among them are the brightest:

• the kind boy Jacob, whom the wicked witch turned into the "Dwarf Nose";
• three heroes who received an independent cartoon: Alyosha Popovich, Dobrynya Nikitich and Ilya Muromets (The Knight's Run 2015 brought the heroes together);
• The Nutcracker and the Mouse King is a story filled with loyalty and courage, love and magical transformations;
• “Star Dogs: Belka and Strelka” - space adventures of true friends with Venya the rat;
• Luntik is an unusual creature with an incredibly kind character that fell from the sky.

Cartoon characters: Disney

Disney cartoon characters occupy a special place, and the animation studio itself has a huge history. Over the course of decades of painstaking work, Disney has released a number of both classic and game projects. Notable cartoon characters:

• Aladdin, who lives in the eastern town of Agrabah, together with his beloved Jasmine, Djinn and the parrot Iago, he confronts various heroes of the forces of evil;
• funny ducklings Billy, Willie and Dilly, as well as their elderly uncle Scrooge McDuck, who became a minor character, are familiar from "Duck Tales";
• the princess of the Atlantic, the little mermaid Ariel, who loves to explore human things found at the bottom of the ocean, and her loyal friend Flounder and prim crab Sebastian keep her company;
• The Black Cloak, abbreviated as PE, is a peace fighter in the city of Saint-Canar; master of martial arts, lover of getting into trouble; his chief assistant is the mechanic Zigzag McCruak.

This list does not include all famous characters. Cartoon characters, who have become prominent representatives of the Disney direction, are complemented by funny "Gummy Bears", "Chip and Dale", always in a hurry to help, "Winnie the Pooh" and a team of his friends, "Miracles on the bends" about the courageous pilot of the seaplane Baloo, and many others ...

Foreign heroes of our time

Hollywood animation production can be safely put on the assembly line. Over the past two decades, the largest studios in the dreamland, like Disney and Pixar, have presented the viewer with a huge list of new characters - kind, courageous, funny. "Cars" of 2006 conquered the world audience not only with an interesting plot, but also with colorful graphics. The "Airplanes" created based on their motives had slightly less success. The Green Troll "Shrek" became one of the most successful projects, each of its four parts invariably became a masterpiece.

Authors and animators try to saturate a number of characters - they often become various animals, for example, birds, snails, ants, mice and other smaller brothers (“Rio”, “Turbo”, “Thunderstorm of ants”, “Flushed away”, “Forest lads ”,“ Ice Age ”,“ Horton ”,“ Madagascar ”,“ Ratatouille ”), epic creatures (“ How to Train Your Dragon ”), monsters (“ Monster Family ”,“ Monsters on Vacation ”), children's toys (“ Story toys "), all kinds of villains and superheroes (" Megamind "," Ralph "," Volt "), as well as ordinary people (" Incredibles ") and other fictional creatures:" The Smurfs "," Epic "," Rango "," Lorax ”.

Cartoon characters: girls for girls

Any animated film is intended for a wide range of viewers. But despite this, cartoons for girls occupy a separate category. As a rule, the main characters are beautiful princesses, who are sure to be rescued by the prince. These include Cinderella and Rapunzel. The adorable Barbie will captivate her with her many adventures, like the Fairies in Lost Treasure, and the Winx Club sorceresses will teach you how to remain resolute warriors.

Into the future with only the past

It remains to express the hope that the beloved heroes will not be lost in the audience's memory. And even more vivid and interesting were the new cartoon characters, whose names will take their place in the animation story.
