I think I enjoyed this way too much. It shall be my gmail status for a long, long time, i believe. It's adorable-ness must be shared with the world. (Or at least those whom I gchat with)And I don't even speak Russian.

Needless to say, I now wish I did.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! There are also other episodes of this on YouTube.. Pooh and Rabbit, Pooh and Eeyore, etc.

I actually can't stop watching this one over and over. It makes me smile each time.

Have all of these on external drive. Russian fb clone vkontakte has Russian cartoon groups where you can watch streaming. Though quality's sorta meh.

"Veenee Pookh", eh? This is hilarious man, seriously. They've got more educational cartoons in Russia..

I much prefer the Russian VP to the American one, even though only 3 episodes.

Yep, they do and with a lot more music too.

The English translation is atrocious though. It's very loyal to the Russian but makes little sense in English...

That's why we only watch foreign movies/cartoons subbed.

Scratch that. I prefer literal subs to interpretations. And hate dubs big time.

Yeah, dubs are awkward. 'Specially in 'dem Chinese movies!

What I've found in terms of Hebrew is that these jobs usually aren't given to big linguists...

Big linguists tend to make localized translations and I hate and despise that.
