From the 1920s to the 1930s, the Soviet regime ordered the production of dozens of animated propaganda films. Their target audience was the Soviet Union itself, and their goal was to win over the hearts and minds of the Soviet people. While many of these films are sharply anti-American, anti-Capitalist, and anti-Fascist, they combine with their harsh political themes a striking originality and beauty in graphic design that is reminiscent of famous Russian poster art from the 1920s. A unique series, with a leading perspective.

This cartoon was made in 1963.
The Millionaire, 1963, V. Bordzilovsky and Y. Prytkov,
Soyuzmultfilm.

Also based on a poem for children by Sergei Mihalkov. A rich American
woman leaves a million dollars to her beloved bulldog. The theme is that in
America, money can buy anything; the bulldog becomes rich and powerful
and eventually a member of the U.S. Congress.
