Ведьма Спаун

[frumpyframpton]

When the motherland casts off her children, her children must fly to victory! Hurrah!

I don't know how I missed this for 7 months. You shouldn't hide your videos from me.

One of my favorite videos is Soviet-era: Ivan and His Magic Pony (aka Magic Horse, among others). It's an entertaining fairy tale cartoon with a soundtrack full of harp.

[yaffle]

@frumpyframpton all this time it's been gestating on my channel, waiting for the frumpmeister.

I will check out the magic pony.

[Rutle]

Brilliant animation and sound.

[crazyat8]

Really cool. What's the song at the end?

[yaffle]

@crazyat8 thanks. the title music is from an old TV show called World in Action, rather unsettling music for a documentary series.

[pupl0vr]

i like it!

[MikeThaddeus]

The old flybaby double cross, a staple in cinema.

[yaffle]

@MikeThaddeus Look out for it in the next Sandra Bullock romcom.

[ratkenrat]

sweet

[Niffiwan]

Um. What the heck is this?

Is it meant to be a variation on the "Worker and Parasite" theme?

[yaffle]

@Niffiwan Yes it is.

[Niffiwan]

@yaffle What Russian animation have you actually watched?

[yaffle]

@Niffiwan Many of the videos on your channel. What did you think of Worker and Parasite?

[Niffiwan]

@yaffle I think it is to Russian animation as the sketches above bathroom urinals are to the Western visual art tradition. It's a satire made by people who didn't understand what they were satirizing, and I find it frustrating that due to the Simpsons' influence, it is the only thing that a great many people know about that rich tradition.

It doesn't actually resemble any Russian animation I've seen, though the art style is similar to some of the Estonian - i.e. "...And Plays Tricks" (1978).

[snezlid]

@Niffiwan Get over yourself Gorbachev, you sound as dour as your beloved russki animations. Go watch a Tom & Jerry cartoon and lighten up for once in your life.

[yaffle]

@snezlid chill out people! I love Russian animation, my video is just a bit of fun.

[Niffiwan]

@snezlid Sheesh, looks like I hit a nerve... as for lightening up, you can try these:

[CheapRobot]

mr. yaffle,... have you ever, to the best of your knowledge, attended a communist party?

[yaffle]

@CheapRobot they always throw the best parties, can't say I approved of the dancing bears though.

[OurHolyFather]

Thats the red headed step child.

[yaffle]

@OurHolyFather red rum.

[PuppyZwolle]

I never knew your grandfather was a Russian animator. ;^)

If I did not love your work before I sure love it now.

[PuppyZwolle]

@PuppyZwolle By the way: My rusky is rusty but good title.

[yaffle]

@PuppyZwolle I love me some old russian animation, so I cooked up this in "tribute".

za zdarOvye!

[PuppyZwolle]

@yaffle I love those to though my fav 'Russian style animation' is Czech.

The Mole (Krtek)

/watch?v=ojRh15Gqtxs

But you probably know this stuff frame by frame already. ;^)

[MartySchrader]

Annoying effects detract from an otherwise loverly Sam Peckinpah experience.

[yaffle]

@MartySchrader Bring me the head of Marty Schrader.

[sirnubenegra]

yaaaaaffle!

[yaffle]

@sirnubenegra sir nuuuuube!

[fehquig]

This is so... so... so... Kafka! Love it!

[yaffle]

@fehquig beware, tomorrow you may wake up and find you have transformed into a BUG!

[coopkabob]

hmmm ,that was different ,pretty cool though

[yaffle]

@coopkabob watching your UFO cartoon now.

[nezoone]

watercolour?

[yaffle]

@nezoone I always wanted to make some painterly backgrounds.

[snarkdetriomphe]

...and the little russian baker's daughter fell into a lake of potato vodka and swam and sang to safety, while the mean, communist dictator bug met his terrible end when a local habberdasher smacked him with one of his furry hat thingies that Russians wear. The End. :)

[yaffle]

@snarkdetriomphe how did you get hold of my script? Bah!

[SomebodyIusedtoknow]

wonderful backgrounds! really enchanting. i love me some yaffle.

[yaffle]

@SomebodyIusedtoknow my background paintings are mere dabs of mud compared to your works.

[Elaina43]

Thought provoking vid. I'm thinking about abortion, potential, abandonment, retribution, consequences, and kewl vid fx.

[yaffle]

@Elaina43 it's interesting to get feedback like this, thank you.

[Elaina43]

@yaffle You're welcome. Thank YOU!

[colbent]

You're always getting better at everything.

[yaffle]

@colbent thank you! I do learn at a glacial pace though it has to be said.

[HerfJerf]

Whhhhha...... UhhhhHHhhhH. hHHHHoooooo. THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN! Hot damn.

HerfJerf loves you

[yaffle]

@HerfJerf thanks pal!

[UKISOCIETY]

We saw this on TV when we were in Siberia in '08. It's called "Oedipillar".

[yaffle]

@UKISOCIETY I thought I'd be safe stealing from Siberian TV, but oh no!

[owlphanumeric]

this is a very curious story. she must have sensed his inner-monster?

you should never throw your child over a cliff, though. or give him a bad haircut.

<3 i want to squeeze your amazingness and never let go.

[yaffle]

@owlphanumeric curiouser and curiouser! bad haircut turned baby bad? like a monstrous version of samson.

[Maddoxhardcore]

YES!!!! YAFFLE VIDEO YES!

Communism? Communism and Yaffle? A child that turns into something terrifying and kills its mother?

Glorious.

[yaffle]

@Maddoxhardcore Shh! I'll get blacklisted if youtube finds out I'm a commie.
