We have singled out several cartoons on the topic of "Alphabet of Financial Literacy" from the famous Russian "Smeshariki" animated series:
- The cartoon “Благородное дело” ("Noble Deed") is about investments. In one of the episodes, the cartoon character, in the pursuit of bigger profit, dares to take a higher risk, which results in the loss of all money. The film teaches children to understand various investment risks. Watch the full version at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yPm1j2Q5q4.
