Priest scam No. 2

Hell at 11.30 am. The devil, who was with Lust, calls out to Thanatoulis, who was with Katara and says to him. "Oh Death, jump to Earth and bring me those three there". Death looks and from surprise almost goes out his eye with the sickle. "Oh devil, these are priests, what business does the cassock have in Hell". The devil suppresses his cries, asks him for explanations and Death arrives on Earth to take the Papadist company to Hell, without imagining that this is how the most crucial chapter in the history of Hell begins...

The Brownies, or a Dream on a Winter Night

The main character sits in an armchair in front of the TV and sleeps, and on the screen the House Spirits group sings songs about the need to save water and electricity. The genre of the cartoon is completely uncharacteristic for the USSR: throughout the entire animation not a single line is uttered, but only songs in rock and roll style. The melodies, completely unusual for the USSR, but on topics that were quite relevant at that time, were written by the composer Anatoly Kiselyov. The animation breaks away from Samsonovs mellow oil paint-style developed in the first half of the 80s, with a much more raw and brusque kind of style followed up by the 1988 short 32 December, also a completely rock musical animation with music form the same group as this one.
