"A cute little ant," not "a little cute ant", which sounds very unnatural. This isn't necessarily connected with the general rules about word-order when there are multiple adjectives before a noun (e.g., a шкатулка с миниатюрой can be called a "small black Russian box", but not a "black Russian small box"). Rather, I would just say that cute little can be treated as a sort of fixed expression, almost as if they were one word.

Anyway, thanks for posting -- it was a "cute little" cartoon (I loved the rescue of the beetle from the "ant lion" at 4:05) and beautifully animated!

(I'll never understand how the stereotype of "Worker and Parasite" became a sort of развесистая клюква representing Soviet cartoons -- I've seen some rather mediocre examples of Soviet animation, but I can't remember ever seeing one that was drawn in a style even remotely similar to the resembling the Simpsons parody.)

Thank you for the correction Also it should be noted how scientifically accurate this cartoon is(ants herd other insects like cattle and engage in wars for food and slave workers for real and so on).

This cartoon alone was the source of several Russian memes. Witness a pioneer (Soviet version of a boyscout) using his technologically advanced XXth century tools to easily defeat mythical creatures
