Comrade Sukhov in "The Adventures of Leopold" and other Easter eggs of Soviet animation

Foreign cartoons are very fond of making references and parodies of popular films. A series of cartoons about Shrek is especially rich in them. But there were also such references in Soviet animation — some scenes surprisingly resemble shots from popular films. The animated series "The Adventures of Leopold" is especially rich in them.

Blogger Vladimir Dubogrey aka dubikvit remembers the best Easter eggs from Soviet cartoons.

In "The Adventures of Leopold" there is an Easter egg on the "White Sun of the Desert":

"The Caucasian captive":

"Gentlemen of Fortune":

"Operation "S"":

If you dig carefully, you can probably find more. But let's move on to other cartoons.

For example, the cartoon "Dog in Boots", which itself is a wonderful adaptation of the novel "The Three Musketeers", still makes a reference to the famous film by Khilkevich.

Everyone knows who the robbers from the Bremen Town Musicians look like.

In the cartoon "Sherlock Holmes and I" there is also a reference to the famous Soviet film:

And in Cherkassky's wonderful cartoon "Treasure Island", the pirate characteristics surprisingly resemble the characteristics from "Seventeen Moments of Spring".

And of course, the wonderful cartoon "Robbery by ...". In the part of the cartoon that is dedicated to the robbery in our country, the criminals drawn are similar to Stanislav Chekan and Savely Kramarov.

It is difficult to say exactly which character of Chekan was meant, perhaps a criminal from the film "Believe me, people", but the Oblique from "Gentlemen of Fortune" performed by Kramarov is recognized immediately.

As the policeman is recognized from the same cartoon.

It is impossible not to recognize Aniskin performed by Mikhail Zharov from the film "Village Detective".
