The German conquerors are above nothing, not even the slaughter of small children, to break the spirit of their Soviet captives. Suffering more than most is Olga (Nataliya Uzhviy), a Soviet partisan who returns to the village to bear her child, only to endure the cruelest of arbitrary tortures at the hands of the Nazis. Eventually, the villagers rise up against their oppressors-but unexpectedly do not wipe them out, electing instead to force the surviving Nazis to stand trial for their atrocities in a postwar "people's court."

Twelve-minute black-and-white cartoon by Mikhail Tsekhanovsky “Phone”, filmed during the Great Patriotic War on the eponymous poem-fairy tale of Korney Chukovsky is a unique historical monument of Soviet cinematography. There are very few such cartoons created in the most difficult time for our country: only five.
These were difficult times for film production, lack of personnel, technical means, energy and much more. Despite the difficulties, the film turned out to be funny, expressive and high-quality: it brought a lot of joy to children. Now this film is of particular importance for Russian animation and is extremely interesting for viewing.
Human Mission
On duty for urgent messages daily receives by phone dozens of various messages about the needs of representatives of the fabulous animal world. He calls completely different animals: from such huge as the Elephant, who urgently needed five or six poods of chocolate, to tiny Blues, who have very different, but also very important requests. All of them, Elephants, Crocodiles, Gazelles, Rabbits, Monkeys and other animals, need constant human care. That is why telegraph wires were extended and telephone booths were installed in every forest.
Link
Answering phone calls is a very tedious task, and you need to have a truly angelic patience to not only listen to them without confusing anything, but also to have time to complete all orders on time. After all, the forest is a place where there are many different useful things, but the most necessary ones are always lacking. Here galoshes, for example, which are an exquisite delicacy for Crocodiles, do not grow on trees, and such a thing as gloves in any forest can not be found with fire during the day! And what, poor Crocodiles to sit hungry, and Rabbits to dig the ground in search of delicious roots unprotected feet? It is not far from an environmental disaster! Therefore, the duty on urgent messages is the most important responsible post.
"Highlight"
Wonderful artists who drew this charming cartoon under the guidance of Vera Tsekhanovskaya and Ivan Ivanov-Vano, created a whole palette of shades of black, white and gray on the screen. The original solution of the script in this film was the presence in the frame of the author of the poem, answering by phone all the questions drawn by animals. close
