This article deals with the hermeneutical analysis of the image evolution of the pupil in a concrete Soviet and Russian animation films. Soviet cartoons represents the pupil as a positive character, or first an underachiever, but as a result followed a correction way. The image of the main character and/or a plot teaches the minor viewer to be honest, hardworking, sympathetic, faithful to friendship, kind, educated, well mannered, strives for knowledge. The negative characters (condemns hooligans and idlers, cowards, etc.) are in the satiric colors.

The modern Russian cartoons quite seldom show an image of the pupil and school. However, there are a number of developing and training animated films today. The few animated films about school and pupils give the main characters who behave freely, assert the rights and freedoms, seldom have highly moral behavior.

A large number of the modern developing animated films of various quality give a message to improve yourself, to enlarge knowledge, but they rarely touch the issues of education, its value, upbringing, principals and morals. Pupils are not common characters of animated film plots.

Keywords: student, pupil, animation, cartoons, school, USSR, Russia, hermeneutical analysis.
