Recently I was reminiscing with my roommate about movies from my childhood, because what better way to spend my time? I started talking about Scamper, and she had no idea what I was talking about, so I looked it up for her. I googled it, and lo and behold, what did I find? This was originally co-produced by the Soviet Union and Japan in 1986, under the name Priklyucheniya pingvinenka Lolo. On one site, a friendly Russian provides us a summary: "About entertaining adventures of penguin Lolo, about the nature and fauna of Anarctica. This film is about inhabitants of Antarctica penguins, about their existence full of dangers, about adventures of penguin Lolo who being inquisitive since the birth, learns a lot of interesting about the world, the nature, and the environment." I've been inquisitive since the birth, too, and I've learned all sorts of interesting about the world and the nature. Scamper is onto something, let me tell you.
Now, let's look at a little timeline.
1986: Scamper the Penguin co-produced by USSR and Japan.
1991: Fall of the Soviet Union.
1990's: I repeatedly watch Scamper the Penguin.
The question arises, if this was produced by the Soviet Union in the 80's, how did my parents get it and show it to me all the time in the 90's? Probably they're Russian spies named Natasha and Igor, and I've been subliminally messaged since the birth to be a communist. Probably I'm supposed to help bring back the USSR. I mean, it's the only logical explanation. So if I start suddenly showing radically socialist leanings, you know what's going on. Don't say I didn't warn you.
