Misha the Bearcub (1979)

Misha the bear cub and his family of bears move from the city to Himdabeya, a 99-person town that has been isolated for some years after a train bridge collapsed. Misha tries to adapt to this new lifestyle, in closer contact with nature, and make new friends - the family in general is well-received. Misha's father aims to work as a journalist, but a tiger blacksmith is worried about a possible power shift in the town with this change. The tiger, along with his accomplices fox Kongo and cat slacker Nekosuki (with their respective families) try to make Misha's family's lives harder so that they'd leave Himadabeya. Misha, designed by children's book illustrator Victor Chizhikov, was originally the mascot of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games (XXII Summer Olympics). This TV series is one of the merchandise products created around him.
