"Secha pri Kerzhentse" or "The Battle of Kerzhenets" is a 10-minute short film from 1971, so this one has its 45th anniversary this year. If you read the names Ivan Ivanov-Vano and Yuriy Norshteyn, you know that this is a Soviet animated movie. It is really not too long, but has more historic significance than many other animated films as it is about a certain battle. I personally must say the animation was decent for 1971, though not great, but this is already the only positive thing I can really say. I feel complete unattached to this project, which is partially subjective as I don#t care about military movies in general a whole lot, but also somewhat objective as the filmmaking duo did not manage to get me interested. I guess you need to have a certain connection to the battle or the region in order to appreciate this little movies. I myself did not and that's why I give it a thumbs-down. Not recommended.
