ABOUT THE SERIES
The main character is boy Matvey who accidentally spoils or breaks something at home while playing. Matvey is trying to pin the blame on his pets, including Boo the cat. Finally, Matvey admits his fault and that makes him a good boy.
Firstly, the project Boo the Cat and the Good Boy is made in such a unique format enjoyed both by children and adults. Secondly, we tell about good behaviour and the right things to do without any dull teaching and that is the cause of the success. Everything is told in a very funny way, such kind of storytelling is very good for discussing important things with kids. We want children to learn to be honest with themselves and the world around them. This is one of the staples of a happy life.
— Ekaterina Kashintseva, the cartoon producer, shared.
This is absolutely musical cartoon with an excellent songs which are rapped by the characters. It is almost a musical film with revolutionary music. You’ll see, it will be cool!
— Evgeny Golovin, the creative director of Parovoz studio, says about the series. Thus, not so cheerful questions of morality and honesty are showed in a positive way.
The cartoon is made in unusual for it genre of musical film, and there are three reasons why it’s useful for psychological development of children. It’s educational, it has a story line, and it’s focused on moral and ethical topics. Honesty is a very important quality of the person. When you confess, it means you admit your fault. Admitting that you have done the wrong things you take the responsibility. Responsibility is a character trait of a really good man. Thus you are able to say, „I am like this.“ That is to praise yourself. Adults can reprimand, but they have a right for it. Think about it, why do they act like this? Because they want to see you the better, the best! They want you to do only the right things. Because they love you. You can answer that it will never happen again and you will think before you act next time.
— Valeria Zinatullina, a psychologist of the service of psychological consulting Ponimau, comments.
