It was the Cold War. Everything in the USSR was supposed to be bad. Therefore, they ignored the awesome movies! ;) (Actually I'm half-serious here.)

The Soviets made great, great war movies. And great children's cartoons too. I'm know I've linked to Nu, Pogodi! (Hold on a Minute!) before. Here is the 1980 Moscow Olympics cartoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZLyW5gKkTE
