Russian animation: Cheburashka 1/2 (+English subtitles)

[JessamineSweetly]

(: I like how the little boy gets up after being dropped on his head. Hahaha.

Cheburashka is the sweetest little thing! And I love the song!

[HeinzGert98]

Ohh! He is so sweet! Я тоже люблю Чебурашка!

[PhysiologicAli]

fuck! I remember this at my granny s home back in 1986. Use to watch this on her crappy black and white TV. I wouldn't hesitate even a sec to go back then when life was much more fun.

[ggeeooeellee]

the song in the beggining is so wonderfull i could not understand what the aligator was saying because im greek and i dont know very much russian only some words and im watching it from greece a greek cartoon and curiosity brought me here and even i understand almost nothing the kind face of the aligator can show me how good he is

[beamalee]

Well I'm 2 minutes in and I am damn sure "500 eskimo" has nothing to do with making candy grow on trees. Subtitles slightly irritatingly inaccurate, but thanks for uploading anyway.

[Niffiwan]

@beamalee Yep, monsieuricon decided it was more important to preserve the general idea and the rhymes than the exact wording. "Eskimo" was a popular type of ice cream.

Класс! 

[yomisma77]

it´s so wonderful! that´s what childhood is for, to know beautiful things. Please, 5:45! he is so sweet!

[bravehunter10]

this song sounds even better when andrei arshavin sang it

[XEmoGGirlX]

when i was watching this at that right moment fish hooks was on... and i looked at the computer screen and back to the tv and again and again and again. the cartoons on now are just stupid! i wish we would still have cheburasha on and others like nu pagadi. at least you learn something from these ones :) they are very pretty top watch and very good for little kids. now lets see fish hooks.... haha its just a stupid cartoon that is very scary for little kids to watch, whats the point of it?

[lizzzi81]

posnowatoooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo!

[FrapaneseGirl]

Thank you so much for sharing all these wonderful cartoons! The music in this one is just lovely. =D

I know it would be a lot of work, but if you don't mind doing it and have time, it would be *awesome* if you could provide subtitles in Russian as well, for those of us learning the language. Just thought I'd try asking! =)

[Niffiwan]

@FrapaneseGirl Some of them actually do have Russian subtitles. If you go to the Animatsiya Wiki, you can find all of the Russian animated films that also have Russian subtitles (just sort the list of subtitled films by that category).

[FrapaneseGirl]

@Niffiwan

Okay, thanks for the info! I'll check it out. =D

[stasisnu18]

spasibo za perevod :-)

[JulianOutlaw]

boy scouts of Ameri......*sigh* Russia

[AlmightyOracle]

@JulianOutlaw

They were actually called Pioneers in Russia. And every little boy and girl was required by law to join.

[JulianOutlaw]

@AlmightyOracle oh wow I didnt know that. Very interesting fact seeing that i myself am a scout

[v3dDotRu]

@AlmightyOracle really not "was required by law to join". Its not forced.

[Yanelima]

dediqué tiempo y esfuerzo en subtitular otros muñes más, y mereció la pena,

yo me crié en cuba viéndolos, y los adoro. aquí colgué 12 cortitos, busquen mi nombre Yanelima,

aquí no permiten más de 10 min y este específicamente es largo,

para verlo completo pon mi nombre en la pagina de veoh

y para bajarlo copia aquí: megaupload punto com/?d=BZJBYM96

este es cheburashka de 1971.

tengo una gran colección de muñes rusos.

disfrútenlo

[StarSuperMary]

afaf211, this phrase on Russian " К сожалению, день рождени только раз в году."

[atuniverse]

how do you type with the russian alphabet in the computer??

[Niffiwan]

Go to winrus com - there are instructions for setting it up on non-Russian keyboards.

[MaoiMeowi2]

@atuniverse Or you could use the Character Map (in Windows), or its equivalent, if it comes with your OS.

[TheSocialEarth]

@atuniverse translit.ru is also a good resource

[foretCuzea]

@atuniverse

w.translit.ru

[KirillKrasov]

@atuniverse Just for info: Russian alphabet = Cyrillic

[clarkje3]

Я лублю чебурашка!

[afaf211]

Thank you Monsieuricon and Niffiwan for this!!! It just made my week :). The song at the beginning is so lovely. Can I get Gena's phrase "It's a pity that a birthday comes only once a year" written in Russian please? Thanks.

[Niffiwan]

К сожалению, день рождения только раз в году

[BarnabasFrid]

Vasily's voice is AMAZING!

[ulyanuska]

Hey guys, how do you add subtitles to the cartoons?

I translated for my friend a cartoon from Russian into English, I just send it in Russian and separate document with English text, I'd like to make it more comfort for him to watch! Thank U

[Niffiwan]

I use a program called "Subtitle Workshop". Search for it on Google - it's very nice and it's free. Which cartoon did you translate?

[ulyanuska]

В лесу родилась елочка

[harrietlam]

thx~

[harrietlam]

Are you russian?

And dose scouts equals to pioneers?

[Niffiwan]

Yes to both questions.

[omgalejandro]

isnt it: i am playing.... the accordion

[Niffiwan]

It could be that, sure. Garmoshka is a Russian variety of the accordion. See the Wikipedia article "Garmon" for more info.

[omgalejandro]

ty for the information

[CelioTheCyborg]

wow, i remember watching this when i was a little kid. time flies :)

[Virtualik]

this cartoon not just Russian but Soviet

[KougaMyazawa]

@Virtualik I got to say, the best thing the soviet did were the cartoons. XD

[LadTheViking]

The song is so great

[Agutrot12]

Your subtitles are wrong...

[Niffiwan]

Not everything is possible to translate accurately into another language, especially puns. If you have a better suggestion for something, you're free to mention it.

[linas9]

gena...is that sherlock holmes voice?

[Niffiwan]

Yes, that's Vasily Livanov. He also was the voice of Karlson in Karlsson-on-the-Roof.

[allatek]

Would you please make this a video response to the happy birthday in Russian video I have on my channel?  I'd love for my students to see it. Thank you.

Alla

[Niffiwan]

I don't remember just now how to do that (and I'm a bit busy), but you could make your Happy Birthday video a response to this one.

[allatek]

I posted it as a response... took 3 seconds. Mine is only a happy birthday greeting for fun. I'd appreciate it if you'd reciprocate the response. Thank you.

[davidrodgersNJ]

I posted a response, (look down about two or three comments) but I incorrectly made it an original comment. Thanks again.

[davidrodgersNJ]

There are no subtitles : S

[Niffiwan]

Please read the video description.

I REALLY wish that Youtube would turn on CC by default. Urgh.

[davidrodgersNJ]

Aha! Thanks! : )

[pavlovich74]

Although I love them all this is by far my favorite out of the series. I especially love and remember well, the song at the start.

The affectionate diminutive of the word accordion becomes garmoshka, and that is just too cute. Is there an English equivalent?

[Niffiwan]

Nope. In fact, the accordion is not a garmon (aka. garmoshka) - they are different instruments. The accordion is not diatonic but chromatic, like the Russian bayan, but has keys rather than buttons, and some other differences (including a rather different sound). More information can be found on Wikipedia. :)

[pavlovich74]

Because I live outside Russia I thought my memory might be deceiving me so I checked my Oxford Russian/English and "гармоника" or "гармонь" does seem to be the word for accordion. Bayan, or "баян" is also an accordion however. (And I did search the web too) Ahh, semantics, so much fun...

[Niffiwan]

Well, they are TYPES of accordion. But they're distinct from types of accordion that are widespread in most other countries. It's very hard to buy a garmon or a bayan in Canada, for example...

[Niffiwan]

When I said "accordion" in my first reply, I should have said "piano accordion". It just called "accordion" here because there aren't any other types (in this locale).
