Many people remember the great Soviet cartoons about the New Year with their kind and touching heroes. For tens of years, colorful “moving” pictures have riveted everyone's attention — adults and children enjoyed spending time at television screens. Of course, against the background of modern multimedia technology, the current generation of viewers is not so easy to surprise with "plain" drawn plots. However, the Soviet "cartoon" tales about the New Year (videos of popular paintings are presented below) still carry a bit of celebration, goodness and light. For this we love them!

"Santa Claus and Gray Wolf" (1978)

The picture is based on the "classic" story of wolf kidnapping of little hares. But you need to have time to celebrate the New Year! Fortunately, the snowman, forest animals and Santa Claus himself come to the aid of the little ones.

With the help of the Bear, the Snowman and the Puppy Druzhok safely deliver the letter to the addressee, and the children receive a magnificent and elegant Christmas tree.

One day, all the inhabitants of the fairytale forest fell out badly and decided to never again communicate with each other. Already no one remembered exactly how the conflict began, but everyone was very stubborn and proud. Accumulated grievances did not allow them to take the first step, and the animals were bored alone. But still, this is a fairy tale about the New Year, so let's not talk about the bad.
Holidays were approaching, forest dwellers recalled last year’s merry meeting of the New Year and thought about how to celebrate such an important event this year. After all, no one was going to put up. In the end, everyone decided to celebrate the New Year on their own.

Closer to number 31 began the first difficulties. Squirrel decorated the Christmas tree with cones and nuts, but could not think of anything with lighting. "Nothing, it is also very beautiful," she thought, and became sad.
  Bunny had another problem - he found a beautiful garland and already represented the festive New Year lights, but he could not reach the Christmas tree, because he was too short.
  Fox prepared many festive dishes, decorated a small, but neat pine tree and was about to celebrate, when she suddenly remembered that she could not sing at all. The new year without songs didn’t fit in her head and this was the main reason for frustration.
  The wolf did not understand aesthetics and certainly did not know how to cook. The lack of a festive mood, food and the Christmas tree made him gloomy and angry. And Bear, realistically assessing the situation, decided that it would be a good idea to sleep through the New Year.
  And a similar situation occurred in every house of the fairy forest. The new year was sad and boring. This would be the end of our fairy tale, if not for the New Year's Magic.

The tale of the New Year for children: why in unity is strength

  The animals seemed to accept their position and did not expect anything good or interesting. But on the most New Year's Eve they wanted to feel the festive magic. Everyone remembered how beautiful and wonderful it was last year to have fun together at the largest Christmas tree in the forest. For some reason they decided that the New Year's magic is connected with this place and rushed there.
  Very little time passed, and the whole forest company gathered near the big fluffy spruce. Seeing each other, they wanted to talk, ask about business, but remembered about the quarrel. The little animals suddenly became very ashamed. How can you be so stubborn and proud? How can you keep so much resentment in yourself? They understood each other without words and hugged each other tightly. The world no longer seemed so dull, but without the New Year lights, songs and fun it was very sad.

  “What we were stupid. After all, we ourselves have spoiled our holiday. Very little time is left for the New Year, we will not have time to really get ready, ”the animals cried. At that moment it seemed that no one could change the situation.
“Enough to dismiss the nurses!” - suddenly came a loud hoarse voice. It was Bear, who was woken by the noise near the big fir tree. “We have come together, and this is important, because strength is in unity. Let's quickly decorate the Christmas tree with what we can, bring our food and sing songs. Let the holiday not be so beautiful, but still we can make it fun. Isn't that right? ”He continued.
  The beasts agreed, smiled and ran home. This time on toys, candy, nuts and garlands. No one was sad anymore, everyone was in a hurry to make it in time for the New Year.

  What was their surprise when they returned and saw a beautiful decorated Christmas tree, Christmas lights, a snowman, colorful lights on other trees and a lot of sweets on the table, which appeared just as suddenly as everything else. New Year's Magic has come to the young animals and presented a real holiday, which they deserve. After all, they understood the main thing! Remember and you are the moral of this tale about the New Year - do not save your grievances, learn to forgive others and do not be afraid to take the first step. Only with friends you can find happiness and meet the magic.

It was dusk, the first were lit in the sky. All forest dwellers hid in their houses: burrows, hollows, nests and dens, only a few animals gathered in a clearing near a fluffy tree, covered with snow, like a warm blanket.
