He shared this information on the channel "UKRAINE THE BEST".

“The term 'cartoon' is more of a post-Soviet concept, while 'animated film' is more of an international term. In fact, in our community, we are now using 'animated film' and 'animation cinema' more frequently to draw attention specifically to animation. For a long time, animation was seen purely as a children's product. If it's animation, it was always aimed at a young audience,” notes Oleg Malamuzh.

However, he points out that the world has long been producing animated products for adult audiences, including those that are strictly for adults and banned from being shown to children due to the mature themes they address. In Ukraine, the director continues, such experiments are currently taking place, creating animated products for adult viewers, and they are finding their audience. We are getting used to the idea that animation is now for a broader audience, particularly exemplified by “Mavka.”

“In Ukraine, we have actually raised a significant amount of funds (editor's note: through viewership). This was a record that I don’t know if will be surpassed anytime soon. This is a precedent in the history of screenings for Ukrainian projects; at one point, we had 25 sessions a day,” shares Oleg Malamuzh.

Additionally, the program guest adds that “Mavka” has also raised a lot of funds abroad, being shown in many European countries not only in translation but also in the Ukrainian language. Of course, he notes, it was not without incidents of the Russians stealing “Mavka,” dubbing it, and showing it in their country, and it remains unknown how much revenue the animation has generated there.

As reported by Politeka, Tabakh stated that 300 million dollars were provided to Afghanistan daily, while the U.S. is not sufficiently assisting Ukraine.

Politeka also reported that Musiienko discussed whether the Russians are preparing an offensive on Zaporizhzhia.
