  • A classic 1976 Soviet cartoon celebrating the values of tolerance and diversity. After this cartoon, 'goluboi' (light blue) would become common Russian slang for gay.
    The film also showcases a unique animation technique using fluid India ink, and features the voices of leading stars of the 70s such as Alysa Freindlich (Office Romance) and Andrei Mironov (Diamond Arm, An Unusual Miracle, 12 Stools).

      Here is more about people born with unusual physical "deviations". In the eyes of society, the blue color of fur is an oddity. In the original fairy tale, the puppy was black, they changed the color to give the hero more unusual and unlike others. If you want, you can see a hint of racism. The blue color is associated with innocence, dreaminess, sentimentality and moral purity.

    I'm not a huge fan of the translation...I think the translator was trying to make it rhyme it in English and it ended up making some of the translations slightly inaccurate (words added that weren't there, etc.)

    "Light blue" as "gay" was used long before this film came out. It started in prisons around 1930s and became popular in 1960x. So it very much might imply that this Pup is "goluboi". The way other dogs treat him seems very similar to the way gay people are treated irl

    I'm sure the puppy is blue, simply because blue is good at showing kindness and harmlessness. Gays have nothing to do with it.
    And what should he be, and even with such a palette? Yellow? Red? Crimson taupe? Yes, hardly anything will fit better
    /
    Я уверен, что щенок голубой, просто потому, что синий хорошо показывает доброту и безвредность. Геи тут ни при чем.
    И каким он должен быть, да еще с такой палитрой? Желтый? Красный? Серо-коричневый малиновый? Да вряд ли что-нибудь подойдет лучше

      I love how, to you homophobes, NOTHING can be about queer people. Every single time, there HAS to be an extremely far-fetched, non-gay explanation. Forget subtext, forget allegory, forget social commentary, forget the old meaning of "light blue" in Russian (which precedes the making of this film) - in fact, just completely throw any bit of analysis out the window. This cartoon DEFINITELY has to be about how society shuns kindness. I'm sure kind people are systemically subjugated, and definitely moreso than any social group.
      You're all pathetic lmfao.
