Russian Church says The Simpsons is a good example of a traditional family

Russian culture has not created animated films that promote the " traditional family ," as is the case with the popular American series The Simpsons , according to Russian Metropolitan Yevgeny Kulber.

According to the religious figure, the American series has been "showing a solid family " with three children for 40 years.

Russia, on the other hand, has not been able to do "anything similar ," he said, quoted by the 66.ru website.

"Our cartoons , while they have merit and are educational, have not created an attractive image of a mature and happy family ," he said.

Speaking about Russian cartoons , the representative of the Orthodox Church mentioned Smeshariki , where the characters, "although they are friends, live alone, are lonely and happy, something that does not happen in real life."

He also mentioned the famous cartoon series Masha and the Bear , in which the protagonist "is so independent that we don't know if she has a family, what she looks like, or what her father looks like."

The priest's statements come amid a campaign launched by Russian authorities to promote " traditional values ," which aims, in particular, to improve the appeal of large families .
