Cartoon "Zaporozhets" of Uncle Fedor turned out to be different from reality

The doors of the car from "Prostokvashino" opened in the other direction

The magazine "Behind the Wheel" drew attention to an unexpected inaccuracy in the legendary cartoon "Winter in Prostokvashino". It turned out that even the cartoon "Zaporozhets" of Uncle Fedor was not the same as in reality.

In the episode "Winter in Prostokvashino", Uncle Fedor's dad and the young car enthusiast himself enthusiastically dragged their Zaporozhets right into the apartment. But experts from the publication "Behind the Wheel" noticed an interesting detail.

The doors on the cartoon car open in the direction of travel, while the real "hunchback" ZAZ-965 had the hinges the other way around - against the direction of travel.

Perhaps the artists simply did not go into technical subtleties. Or maybe Uncle Fedor, his dad and Matroskin managed to redo the car - after all, if they could drag it into the house, then they could certainly rearrange the doors as well.

As a result, this trifle became another favorite detail of fans who have been analyzing "Prostokvashino" frame by frame for decades - just like the characters of the cartoon themselves, like living neighbors.
