Both links contain great examples of late 1960s Polish animation. Poland was never a part of USSR.

Moreover, just like Czechoslovakia, Poland did not develop its animation style in a vacuum. They had strong artistic connections with many other European countries, especially France.

Not sure if you are an American... but Europe has a very old and very rich animation tradition. Growing up in Europe I was only vaguely familiar with Disney. The vast majority of animation I watched as a child was European.

No, I am Italian.

I grew up with these kind of animations. [1] [2]

Nonetheless, the "animation studio" of the West, the one who won Oscars and was published virtually everywhere in the western block, was Disney
