I've read an interesting topic on another forum, where people discussed what songs make them cry. I was amased that the great number of people listed songs from soviet cartoons. And you know, I howled like a jackal because of these songs too when I was a kid. And even now I feel melancholic when I hear them.
What an intersting phenomenon!
Here is my list of most tearful songs:
1. "Песня про мамонтенка"
"Лечу я сквозь волны и ве-етер к единственной маме на све-ете, ....................
Ведь так не бывает на све-ете, чтоб были потеряны де-ети.."
A terrible drama about little mammoth who woke up in the ice along. He is eager to find his mother and even swims across the ocean at the little block of ice looking for her.
But his chances are not very high because, well, all mammoths are dead.
2. Песня из м/ф "Варежка"
I don't remember the lyrics but I remember I was crying.
Some woman refuses to buy a puppy to her daughter who dreams about the dog. So the girl pretends that her mitten is alive and plays with it...
3. Песня из м/ф "Девочка и дельфин".
"Говорят, дельфины говорят...
A cartoon without a single word, just music, sound of the waves and that beautiful sad song. A girl makes friends with the dolphin, then some bad guys abduct him, but she saves him at the end.
Мультик вроде бы про дружбу, но на самом деле он про одиночество. Бескрайнее море, и лишь вдалеке - маленькая точечка. Это девочка и дельфин...
Вообще, детям нельзя такое показывать.
А кто еще плакал от песенок в мульфильмах?
