Because in the English-speaking world, 40 or 50 year-old children's animation is so obscure in the 21st Century?
If it were December I'd be making a joke about turning down the volume on the marathon on the television, consisting of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964), Frosty the Snowman (1969), A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970).
But Spring equinox is upcoming, so undoubtedly some of the classic Winnie the Pooh films will be in circulation soon enough - the oldest theater release of which was in 1977, while short movies began in 1966.
Though, given you posted this comment in October, I might also have just leaned more towards a reference to "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
Just saying, it's only obscure if ignore that you're playing on a website populated by many Russian-speaking artists, and you're ignore the impact that classic animated films have had on all industrialized nations for decades.
