Shout out to European cartoons/animation

and many many others

[polish-art-tournament]

between the tournaments minigame 4

i know you are all waiting for it, but preparing the worst pope monument minigame is DIFFICULT and time consuming. i promise it's coming, but it may take another week or so. in the meantime, here's me pitting some more bad bitches against each other

hope our non-polish followers can forgive me another quite specific one

Se-ma-for animations like Uszatek or Colargol will probably get their own minigame poll in the future, we shall see

Bolek i Lolek

[internet-goblin]

To whomever it might concern, know that I have not had any contact with Spongebob Squarepants until I was like 12 and on a summer camp, where another dude showed me his Spongebob key decoration. And then he lied to me that the figure was actually a mummy. And I believed him, because how else could have I known??

I grew up on four TV channels and the absolute peak that is Pat a Mat, Racochejl, Asterix and Bolek i Lolek.

The first american cartoon I was exposed to was when I was in second grade and some kid figured out how to watch fucking HAPPY TREE FRIENDS on the school computer.

It's always "omg how have you not grown up with [insert incredibly popular AMERICAN media]" maybe because I didn't fucking understand english at that time like I might not have known what Sesame Street was but have you ever seen Kouzelá školka? Huh? Cvrček55 ring any bells? No? Exactly. Piss off

Hej mam pytanie do ciebie jak Polak do Polaka, jaka jest twoja ulubiona Polska kreskówka albo gra?

Czasami gram w Wiedzmina z Bratem na moim kompie

A taka prosto z Polski a nie tłumaczona z Anglika to chyba Bolek i Lolek bo to jedyna polska kreskówka którą oglądałam jako mały bahor

What are your favorite comfort tv shows or movies?

Oh I actually have a few, mostly cartoons, but eh!

101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure - my childhood movie, I'm coming back to it at least once a year or once in a few. I'm feeling so comfy when I watch it and Polish dub is *chef's kiss* A movie about puppies, of course it is at the top <3

Dastardly and Muttley in their Flying Machines - a very old Hanna Barbara cartoon, but I lately came back to it and I started to feel like I would sit at grandparent's flat, watching this cartoon with a stupid smile on my face. I mean, it's stupid, but my kind of stupid and I love it to this day XD

Bolek i Lolek - old Polish cartoon about two brothers. It's without dialogues, has a few series from what I'm aware of and I have very fond memories of the episodes I've owned on VHS tapes when I was a kid. I'm actually thinking to watch everything that was created with them, but I have time, no rush <3

Help! - The Beatles movie is next, Ringo's the main character, of course it'll be on the list. Also, the entire album is my comfort thing, just a lil trivia <3

Anything Monty Python - British humor developed a very specific humor of mine and I would die for those guys. Spanish Inquisition my beloved, actually-

Do you know what I like most about Czech cartoons? Breaking the gender stereotype that the USA has accustomed us to

Things like eyelashes on male characters, which did not appear in the US because eyelashes were assigned to female characters (Which can be seen in many old productions, because you have to distinguish that one mouse is a girl and the other is a boy, right?)

Emanuel breaks away from the stereotype that we are accustomed to in the USA (He is a butterfly, you have to see it, the production is called "O makové panence a motýlu Emanuelovi/Makowa Panienka")

Here is a cartoon from the Polish People's Republic, where you can also see breaking away from the stereotype, Tola (Girl), you can classify her as a tomboy (But not like what you see in the USA, she is a nice character who won't murder you)

Bolek and Lolek also break away from the stereotype, they are not entirely masculine (They often show empathy and sometimes cry a lot)

The biggest minus of this cartoon is blackface and well, a lot of shit, unfortunately, I don't blame Poles from that period, but the USA, because shit like blackface came from that "Place"

Today, something like this would be called "Woke" and "Political Correct" because it does not fit the typical way of writing in the USA when it comes to the gender of characters

Unfortunately, Poland is not the only victim of the USA, many countries are struggling with the plague of conservative-rightists and the persistent forgetting of their culture in favor of "Adaptation"

Even though the USA does not colonize these countries, the influence of the media from the USA (which is more than from other countries) causes a lot of damage, because many people no longer know their culture and their mythology, because it is not talked about, because "It is not "attractive" to other countries (I see this kind of thinking in Polish productions that have significantly lost their quality, because they try to pretend to be American)

So yes, the US doesn't even have to be physically involved to erase culture, it's enough that many media from other countries consume US productions in larger quantities than they should

Compare the number of productions from other countries (Apart from Japan, because it is doing the best, the same with UK) that were successful to the number of those from the USA, from Australia I only think of "Bluey", and from Africa "Supa Strikas", these are individual examples, but they show a big problem with how the USA has overshadowed many productions from other countries

Apparently there is also Canada, although I see much fewer products from Canada than those from the USA (I do not mention it, however, because I do not know what it is like in other countries)

"The Secrets of the Wicker Bay" is a Polish production which, compared to today's Polish animations, was of a very high standard

And still people will only talk about this shit:

Yes, I don't like "The Treflik Family", because what's the point of being a stop-motion animation if it doesn't even reach the level of the previous production?

+ The villain is a fucking Latino

Look what year it came out, there was an excuse for productions from the Polish People's Republic, there's no fucking excuse here

Why is this series popular? Songs like from a musical (And not a good one, because it interrupts the action, and the songs are from a different "Time Zone", otherwise he won't comment on it, it just takes it out of rhythm)

Why is this series not known as the best from Poland?

It's called "Fantasy Bear" (Miś Fantazy)

Wait a second

Is that Monica the frog?

Okay, just kidding, but yeah, you get the point

Just my rant about the USA and how Poland has fared in the animation industry
