Synopsis
The sun is shining in the sky. Flowers are revealed, birds sing, animals take care of others. Only an evil crocodile who could not catch anyone, attacks the sun and swallows it. It is darkness. The animals in a panic run to the bear and ask to return the sun to the sky. The bear, who in the dark could not find the cubs, goes to war with the crocodile. The bear engages in battle, wins the crocodile and forces him to free the sun. Happy beasts rejoice in the sun and praise the bear.

★★★★★ · Amazing cartoon! · Filmcollectief Zandvoort · 2007-05-29
I have watched a lot of old cartoons from the United States but was not aware that there were more cartoonists like Walt Disney or Hanna & Barbara. Maybe someone can provide more information because this cartoon is a beauty and probably there are hundreds like this in the former Sovjet Union.
