Foreign movie hits and classics of Soviet animation.

10. Chicken Chicken

• USA, 2005.
• Science fiction, fantasy, comedy, adventure, family.
• Duration: 81 minutes.
• IMDb: 5, 7.

A piece of the sky fell on the Chicken Tsypu. He tells about this to other animals - residents of the city of New Dubki, but no one believes him. A year later, Tsypa decides to restore his reputation and joins the baseball team. Having played excellently in an important match, he ceases to be a victim of ridicule. But it is then that the chick again sees the falling part of the sky.

The plot is based on a European folk tale. She tells about a chicken that took an acorn that fell on its head for a piece of the sky. This story was reworked by director Mark Dindahl, making it more modern.

The cartoon is interesting because it touches on difficult topics. The creators of the picture clearly criticize the media and talk about the relationship between fathers and children. But thanks to the perky mood of the tape and the abundance of funny moments, "Tsypu" is easy and interesting to watch.

9. Planet 51

• Duration: 91 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 0.

American astronaut Charles lands on Planet 51. Much to his surprise, he discovers that the aliens behave exactly like the inhabitants of the Earth, albeit they look different. The astronaut also realizes that he is not welcome here at all: the locals perceive him as a threat. Charles is helped back home by a teenage alien named Lem.

A funny cartoon will evoke a lot of positive emotions in the viewer. Movie buffs will easily find Alien and Alien references. And especially amusing is the non-trivial idea that underlies the tape, because this is an inversion of the stereotypical story about aliens from outer space.

Louis is a lonely 12 year old boy. Three aliens land in his city, and the teenager easily finds a common language with them. Together with new friends, Luis sets off on an exciting adventure in search of a ship on which the aliens can return home.

Lots of funny scenes, elaborate characters and dynamic narration will not let viewers of any age get bored. The entertainment focus of the cartoon is diluted with arguments about loneliness, friendship and family relationships. This combination of comic and serious makes the picture a great option for family viewing.

7. Monsters vs. Aliens

• Duration: 94 minutes.
• IMDb: 6, 4.

A meteorite falls on Susan, causing her to suddenly transform into a giant. After that, the girl is sent to a secret government complex, where she meets a motley company of harmless monsters.

The cartoon will delight the audience with its colorfulness and uncomplicated humor. The lack of complex plot twists and turns is compensated by numerous references to classic films. Movie fans will easily notice allusions to "Doctor Strangelove", "Godzilla", "Fly" and other cult films.

6. Space jam

To do this, Swackhammer sends five tiny aliens to the cartoons. Trying to avoid a sad fate, Bugs Bunny invites the aliens to a kind of duel - a basketball game. To increase the chances of winning, cartoon characters take Jordan into their team.

Space Jam is not a cartoon in its purest form: the tape presents a combination of animation and cinema. This ingenious approach made Jam a hit in the 90s and a favorite of both kids and adults. Great humor, the appearance on the screen of the real Michael Jordan and a wonderful soundtrack also contributed to the success.

By the way, R Kelly's song I Believe I Can Fly was written specifically for "Space Jam" and gained a wild popularity, rarely characteristic of soundtracks. The composition received three Grammys and peaked at number two on the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart.

5. House

Oh and the girl team up to solve their problems.

The plot of the cartoon is based on a children's book by American writer Adam Rex.

Sean and his comrades help their new girlfriend get comfortable and hide from the Ministry of Alien Detection.

"Shaun the Sheep" was presented to us by the creators of equally cool plasticine projects "Escape from the Chicken Coop" and "Wallace and Gromit". "Farmageddon" will charm you with good old characters, an abundance of funny scenes and warm colors.

This ribbon attracts attention with one more feature. In Farmageddon, as in any Sean cartoon, the directors don't use a single word for voice acting. The emotions of the characters are conveyed by purring, grunting, mooing and other sounds.

3. Lilo and Stitch

This cartoon is a real hit from the Disney studio, and here's why. Kids like the ribbon with its unusual characters and very colorful design. Older children and adults pay special attention to the themes of loneliness, finding friends, and family relationships.

Now Metro City is in danger, and Megamind must act in an unfamiliar role as the protector of the townspeople.

This is the work of Tom McGrath, who gave us Madagascar. "Megamind" evokes sympathy for both the visual component and the content.
