re-watching classic Russian animation after many years with L makes me realize how much of it is about loneliness and social trust, and how the anti-hero (Chapeau Claque) is basically Ayn Rand (who pays for her outward mean-ness with staying lonely).
Also, these cartoons are basically 40 years old – how did they screw up the importance of social trust now if they taught it to children so well back then.
