Movie lovers pounced on the children’s film.
The fairy tale “New Year’s Adventures of Masha and Viti” was first shown at the end of 1976. The film starring Mikhail Boyarsky and Valentina Kosobutskaya immediately fell in love with both adults and children. But years later, viewers completely changed their attitude towards him.
As the authors of the Zen blog are sure “In detail. About cinema”, the work of Igor Usov and Gennady Kazansky can have a very negative impact on the younger generation. All the adult characters in the film act carelessly and constantly leave children in mortal danger. In addition, Masha and Vitya break the lockdown, showing the audience a bad example: they constantly take food from strangers, which is prohibited by many parents.
Images of villains can also frighten. All the anti-heroes look very intimidating, and especially impressionable viewers will easily remain stutterers after viewing the film.
And that is why, as movie lovers are sure, it is better not to show “New Year’s Adventures of Masha and Vitya” to children. Instead, other, kinder tales were released in that era.
