A businessman... a mail pigeon... a pigeon, however, is pathetic.
Something overseas again. But the cartoon finally became a little more in timekeeping. The Kiev prince is dying and summons three heroes from fishing. It remains only to understand who will rule the two kingdoms. And the prince sent for those who will rule... for a niece to Tsargrad (the ancient Russian name for Constantinople, which is now called Istanbul, and in the days of our cartoon it was the capital of the East Roman/Byzantine Empire... if correctly displayed information from the network). In short, we are almost on vacation in Turkey.
The prince’s niece already has a lover, but the local Byzantine emperor has his own plans for the Russian throne. . .
In short, in Tsargrad we were in this franchise once, so a few heroes from the past will appear. The history of the latter, accordingly, will continue.
I think the story is finally getting more complete. Before that, there were many series that brought more confusion than wholeness. There are fewer and fewer words. There were less inserts of humor from our time, more of something ancient or even ancient.
I also had the idea of a free game for me in Yandex Games. In the form of Tower Defense, you can saw down a toy (free and without advertising, especially for subscribers). I even found a Major Thunder game there. So you can also cut down on the three heroes. And in general, we just need an orange taver defens. Crowds of foreigners will attack Orange Castle to steal chests with a movie, and we will protect the KP from these hordes.
In our cinema, we also defend the Russian throne in our own way. The future of the monarchy is protected, so to speak, from the intrigues of foreigners. But we do not wield swords or fists, but rather fight intrigues and maintain the world as if by any diplomacy. Diplomatic negotiations at the highest level.
The best stories in the franchise are either related to love and romance, or to gold and the search for wealth, and partly to state affairs. And all this becomes even better if seasoned with Russian folk tales and heroes.
So, this is a relatively new part of the series of cartoons about three heroes, it was released in 2018 and has a good overall rating.
The Prince of Kiev is looking for his heir, but who could it be? The daughter of the prince is now studying in Constantinople with her husband Elisha, whom we know from the second cartoon of the series. But Vasilevs has his own plans for the prince’s daughter, will the Three Bogatyrs and the company be able to save Zabava and destroy the plans of enemies?
I immediately understood why this cartoon is so much more successful than many others in this series - everything is kept within the framework of the concept. There are no crooked villains, such as the sea king, the actions do not take place in Egypt, which generally does not apply to Russia, by the way. Nothing here violates the original concept of the cartoon, and oh miracle, the cartoon immediately looks much better.
In terms of characters, again, they are all simple and clear - they figured in the previous parts. Therefore, it can be said that this is an addition to the beloved story about heroes.
The graphics in the cartoon did not suffer significant changes, in principle I like the drawing of the studio "Mill", and I am glad that they decided not to radically change it.
There is one more indisputable plus - there are not so many inserts with songs that I have never loved. More screen time is given to the plot.
I liked this cartoon, it stands out from other parts, just due to the fact that it was decided not to modernize and not to move away from the setting. I hope Meltsia will draw the necessary conclusions and further parts will adhere to this rule.

Let the descendants of the sovereign be our heritage and reflect our reign.
I remember, after the presentation of several “Bogatyr” stories created under the guidance of different masters, there was a conveyor of a mixture of incoherent plots, and Konstantin Feoktistov answered his head, throwing beloved characters from one fun to another for the sake of financial gain. The ninth part of the franchise “Three heroes” again got himself in the directors of Konstantin Bronzit, with whom once a long time ago everything was just beginning. Did this decision save the studio “Mill” ideologically? In my opinion, in part.
“Heir to the throne” does not cause irritation, observed when viewing the extreme opuses of the series. This is quite a whole, simple and funny fairy tale, almost not using excesses in this or that insanity, capable of dashing the mind purely whistling in the Devil's lair. Instead of crossing sea kings with Shamakhan queens, and inventing motorcycles inside bicycles, Bronzit and the team decided to go through long-studied cliches of similar subjects, for the new is nothing more than the well-forgotten old. Here you and the princely stay on the fateful bed, and questions of inheritance, and the journey to return an important person to his family lands, and divided love, and the all-consuming desire for power, and palace intrigues, and weddings conceived for political purposes, and homeric battles, and patronal confrontation – all that we have seen thousands of times in other works. A banal, very predictable, but terribly cheerful, sweltering, quickly soluble parody of historical dramas and melodramas.
The authors do not scrape the last lumps of fantasy out of the brain, reaching to the most unpleasant depths and turning everything that happens into terrible chaos. They need to deal with the ordinary human passions most inherent in the scene and characters. Two rulers, one wish is to leave someone behind. To achieve the desired, you need to pass the test of decency, loyalty and honor, the price of which will be either the loss of everything or the acquisition of the main thing. Bronzeet goes back to the origins of most tales of royal heritage and once again reminds the audience what the essence of things really is. The only problem is that his retelling, with all its eternal relevance, towards the end becomes boring and even a little protracted, and the denouement of this retelling flies into the exhaust pipe of expired time as quickly as jumping on the screen all sorts of editing transitions. The resolution of major conflicts resembles a game interrupted too abruptly, costing players to get tired of the number of events and intensity of short-term battles. There is no need to think: any chain of events is caused either by whim or oak-headed excitement, without looking at anything else. And this is not catastrophic in nature, but also far from grandiose: The bronze pulls the conveyor along the rolled rails, bypassing pits and pits, trying not to hurt passers-by and witnesses, but at the same time he perfectly understands that it is impossible to attach the wings to the conveyor belt - it will no longer take off.
Therefore, “Heir to the throne”, with all its charm, raises the bar of the franchise only slightly – that is, thank God, at least does not touch the bottom, waltzing in the segment of passing animation, suitable for fleeting familiarization. Achieving the long-forgotten quality of the very first cartoons of the series is a myth, and there are many reasons for this, which for the hundredth time does not make sense. Bronzita is left to thank simply for the fact that, unlike Feoktistov, he did not explore new types of tar for a barrel of honey, but technically stirred the honey once again to briefly resurrect the former notes of sweetness - and the sweetness ceased to bitter as before.
So be it.
Recently I included the cartoon ' Three Heroes and Heir to the Throne'. Due to the previous parts (especially about Egypt and the Sea King), I expected almost nothing from this cartoon, but I was wrong.
The plot is such that the Prince of Kiev fell ill and decided who to put on the kingdom. The lot falls on the niece of Prince Zabava and her husband Elisha. Only Elisha and Zabava are in Byzantium, where the insidious Vasilevs rules. The prince sends three heroes and Julia to Byzantium to bring Zabava and Elisha to Kiev.
The benefits of this movie.
1. This time, the story could be real, in contrast to the delusions of Egypt and global warming. There is no fantasy here (except for a talking horse).
2. After many years, Feoktistov, who made unsuccessful films about heroes, was replaced by Konstantin Bronzit. Replacement in the director's chair went to the benefit of the cartoon - there is a direct feeling ' Russian spirit'.
3. Drawing. The color scheme is juicy and bright. There is no word for it.
4. Exciting story. Nothing to add.
5. Humor. There are a lot of really funny jokes. Especially from Julia. His quarrels with Leonid - I can not
I didn't find any downsides here at all.
This is the case when you want to put the highest score. Who's in the way?

20 years ago was founded St. Petersburg animation studio ' Mill', which was founded by the General Director of STV Sergey Selyanov and Alexander Boyarsky and the first swallow of this studio was the animated series ' Adventures in the Emerald City' based on a fairy tale based on the first two books of Lyman Frank Baum ' The Amazing Wizard of Oz' and ' The Wonderland of Oz' and came out on the anniversary of the original fairy tale. Four years later came 'Dwarf Nose', which is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Wilhelm Gauf and became a box office failure. With a budget of $2,500,000, he collected just a pittance. By the way, earlier Russian cartoons were released in limited release, and a year later the first Russian animated cartoon was released in wide hire ' Alesha Popovich and Tugarin Snake' directed by Konstantin Bronzit, the author of my favorite shorts ' At the edge of the earth' and the pilot episode ' Mountains of Gems' 'Cat and Fox'. He has also been nominated twice for the award ' Oscar' for such works as ' Cleaning Story - Love Story' and 'We can't live without space' In 2006 came 'Dobrynya Nikitich and Snake Gorynych' from the same director as for 'Dwarf Nose' and in 2007 came 'Ilya Muromets and Nightingale Robber'. Unlike the three previous cartoons ' Ilya Muromets' recouped his two million dollar budget, collecting only 9 million. Then came out ' About Fedot the Sagittarius of the Remarkable Young Man' and in 2010 came the first crossover ' Three Heroes and the Shamakhan Queen'. He collected the box office, but the next episode ' On the far shores' in general, is the highest grossing cartoon 'Mills'. In addition to ' Wealthy' three more parts came out ' Ivan Tsarevich and the Grey Wolf' planned fourth, no one needed ' Urfin Jus and his wooden soldiers' and one of my favorite cartoons 'Fortress: Shield and sword'. And so, in the yard of 2019, and ' Bogatyrs' meanwhile rolled, and it all began with ' Sea King' and ' Princesses of Egypt' Okay, let's get this straight:
Plot:
It is not as in the previous parts. Here there is a set of situations, they say the Prince of Kiev with his jester Julia arranged a party, but suddenly the Prince’s heart stops and when he calls Julia, so that he found the heroes and sent a fun with Elisha. When the heroes learn that the Prince is dying, they return to Kiev to try their hand. For the whole film, I almost did not see one interesting moment, only various random situations that Julia gets. So the plot is terribly predictable.
Graphics:
In my opinion, it is better than the previous parts. Everything is quite bright, detailed and does not cut the eye.
Characters:
Among the characters, I can mention only Elisha and Zabava. Perhaps the only adequate characters of this circus. As well as in the previous parts, there are new characters - this is the son of Vasilevs (Oleg Tabakov, Bright Memory to You), who irritated me most of all.
Humor:
With humor things are a little better, but still mediocre. I laughed all the time. Attention! I don't remember a joke three times.
Bottom line:
This is another useless product, created only to collect granny in the midst of the New Year holidays. I wish the studio ': The mill to do something good. I wish her bankruptcy, I just want her to know her place.
Just out of respect for Bronzeet, I bet.

I have repeatedly scolded the studio Mill for ' Three heroes'. I will not justify myself: sometimes there is such a state when you want to take out aggression on someone or something, and when it came to post-Soviet animation, I first of all remembered the unsuccessful & #39; Bogatyrs'. Moreover, I am a representative of the spectator variety, which does not like even the first three parts, including the solo about Alyosha Popovich. Yes, I don't like that Alyosha is depicted as non-canonical. Perhaps Konstantin Bronzit took up in 2004 not for what should have been done, but what is done is done, the first pancake came out clumpy, as I said in the corresponding review. The content of subsequent sequels, I think, is already known to everyone. With the exception of 'Three heroes and the Shamakhan Queen' nothing turned out to be suitable, except ... about this further.
Nine. Just think about it: Nine parts about heroes have already been filmed at the time of 2019! It would seem that this is a conveyor, which will only get worse from year to year. This is exactly what happened until Konstantin Bronzit, after a painfully long fifteen years, returned to the director's chair. My foreword is already dragging on, but one important thing is impossible not to notice. It's really hard to turn a battered, scolded and ridiculed franchise into something more worthwhile. Eight parts about the heroes have already been removed. They and their shortcomings have remained in people’s memory, information about these parts is available on the Internet, they can be viewed in one way or another. Therefore, we can only accept that ' The Three Heroes' is a world in which there are not only medieval epic characters, but also a talking horse with the knowledge of the twenty-first century, Prince a la President of Russia, and the city of Constantinople, which is similar to Ancient Rome, and Ancient Greece, and Jerusalem at once. That’s the challenge for the director: to make something more attractive out of this mush. And Konstantin Bronzit coped!
Surprisingly, from the first seconds, a picky viewer like me immediately caught the eye of primitive animation. The feeling is that the very beginning of the animators created through the sleeves. In addition, Elisha causes a sigh of disappointment, who at the first appearance instantly gives the impression of a pathetic and unattractive person. And Elisha is mixed with a secondary southern driver-driver, who in his stereotyping is not inferior to that Indian driver from the solo book about Ilya Muromets. But after the moment I was once again consumed by the thought that this would be another failure for our animation... everything changes.
It's changing a lot. Viewing completely suddenly begins to delay. And the closer to the end the plot progresses, the more interesting it becomes to watch. All this is so different from the thumb sucked out of the previous four parts that you fall into complete confusion: what is going on? Did the sun finally appear from behind the clouds in the darkest hour, and we saw ' Three heroes' as they should be: a crossover? It’s not just about the story and the characters involved. It has been covered in the previous eight chapters! Now the main thing is the interaction in one frame of those heroes who have not yet met each other. This happens through a new character, voiced personally by the director.
And here I come to the most important . The fact that I was one of the most ardent critics of the #39; Bogatyr' franchise was so shocked that I really began to look at many things more positively. It is, strangely enough, about the characters. As I said, all the familiar characters managed to reveal themselves as fully as possible by the time of the ninth part, there is nowhere else to go. We know all the background of the prince, the heroes, and especially the horse Julia. And after all this... Konstantin Bronzit performs a real feat, telling us through the actions of the characters: ' it's not that bad, friends!' And it fights hard. Literally. Without hurting the audience's vanity, unnecessary hints and hints, the director simply takes and shows us all the familiar characters from the best side, not excluding either Prince, Emperor Vasilevs, or even... I have always been ambiguous about the talking horse Julius and, analyzing his character, always came to the conclusion that for the reward in the form of golden horseshoes, he would agree to destroy the whole world. I was wrong. The reality in which we live is infinitely diverse, and Constantine Bronzit showed us that the universe of heroes is exactly the same. Nothing needs to be elevated to the absolute, even in the most callous soul there remains a particle of kindness. Showing this not by hints, but by actions, the director successfully dissolved all the negativity in me. To the last particle.
Perhaps this joyous review will eventually get lost in the wilds of the virtual world, and my text will never catch the eye of those to whom it is addressed, just as in space all our messages to extraterrestrial civilizations disappear without a trace. But right now, at this very moment, I say I'm happy. I am happy because Konstantin Bronzit reminded me and all the audience of one important thing that should not be forgotten: no matter how sad everything seems, and no matter what misfortunes await us... always, even when we do not see it, something good is coming to us. Summing up the final more sober conclusion, yes: certainly, ' The Three Heroes and Heir to the Throne' is not ideal. But when compared with the solo about Alyosha Popovich, which was shot by the same person, it becomes obvious that Konstantin Bronzit not only did not lower the bar, but rose above his own level. He rose as best he could. He really surprised me and made me happy. Very much.
It's done! The octalogy of the Bogatyrs turned into a nonalogy. The ninth film was directed by Konstantin, not Theoktistov. And the author of the beloved ' Alyoshi Popovich' Konstantin Eduardovich Bronzit. He managed to return the Bogatyr Saga ease of perception, Russian spirit and sparkling humor. The feeling of euphoria returned to me.
The film is multifaceted: makes you laugh until you fall, shake with excitement, sigh with joy, shudder with surprise. That’s what quality work of a director and writers means.
I very much understand the Prince-father and Alyosha: she recently suffered the same ailments as they.
I was very happy to see Zabava and Elisha. So I wanted to shout: 'Oh, guys, how many winters, how many years!' I thought I would run to the screen and hug him.
I won't say anything about Julius. I can only say that I adore him.
Of the heroes, the most striking here was Ilya. Here we see in him the mind and cunning - see, from his wife infected.
Speaking of wives. They weren't here. You could have taken a break from Nastasia's skirmishes. But at the same time, Lubavina lacked kindness and Alenkona energy, her chronicle skill.
Lyonka, the son of Vasilevs, turned out very funny! His skirmishes with Julius are all that. ..
The nightingale-robber - hello, the third part! - showed itself from an unexpected side.
The pigeon was pathetic. That's how you played it, poor man!
I don’t even know how to express my excitement. I'll just say one thing: Hurrah mill!

"Three heroes and the heiress to the throne" - the next part of the cheerful animated franchise will appeal to all its fans, as well as fans of a fun adventure. It is worth noting that the production of the new part was undertaken by Konstantin Bronzit, the same one who in 2004 shot the first part about Alesha Popovich.
I personally liked the new picture. If you compare it with the previous parts, this film was much more interesting, brighter and more dynamic. Again there was a kind of madness, sharpness in humor and an active adventure of this or that hero. The authors did everything possible to refresh the story and give it a new look, adding new characters to it, such as the poor pigeon, who can now safely become a constant participant in the further adventures of famous heroes. I’m not going to say it’s a super beautiful movie, but it’s definitely a head taller than the previous ones, but it’s no better than the original. To me, the main mistake is that there is no main character in this film. Due to the large number of characters, the very essence of what is happening is blurred. Three heroes in this case are generally on the second roles, the heiress to the throne also does not play a particularly important role, but to a greater extent the events are focused on her fiancé, but then, one wonders why the title mentions the heiress, when here, on the contrary, there is a hint of the heir to the throne. The events unfold simultaneously in two cities: in Kiev and in Tsargrad. Both there and there the question of the future heir to the throne is raised, so the two kings begin to think about the future of their principalities, doing everything possible to achieve certain goals.
In general, the story turned out to be very interesting, fun and fun. There are no regrets about watching, so if you suddenly want to go to the cinema with the whole family, then I wish you a pleasant viewing.

Let's be honest. The franchise of the three heroes has long been overturned. Studio Mill does not stop and has long since slipped into the figurative sense of the word! Take for example “Three heroes on distant shores”, which received negative reviews from both critics and viewers! Or for example, “Three heroes and the sea king”, where in one of the trailers was shown the inscription that they sink to the bottom. It looks like the franchise is really down. For example, the Three Heroes and the Princess of Egypt. Princess Nefertiti of Egypt is shown almost little, most often there is only the thirteenth month of Durilov or more often equilibrium. You could just call the cartoon “Three heroes and the thirteenth month” or “Three heroes and the end of the world”! Why should audiences, especially critics, be confused? And strangely, for some reason, no one except me noticed these joints.
The jokes in this cartoon have long been outdated, references to the past parts are terrible and in addition, it is not clear why Zabava should marry some strangers, if in the cartoon Dobrynya Nikitich and Snake Gorynych she and the messenger Elesei were married. It is also not clear where Zabava and Elesei disappeared after the cartoon “Dobrynya Nikitich and Snake Gorynych” and where they disappeared throughout the cartoons about the three heroes before the events of the cartoon “Three heroes and heiress to the throne”. It turns out that here we have one big plot hole, which even the writers did not coalesce.
To summarize, I would give a cartoon

Trust the bloggers on YouTube! The mill studios are long overdue!
We have such a great tradition before every New Year, well, or during the holiday holidays, to go to the cinema for a new story about the Three heroes. For the first time, the cult animated project “Mills” appeared on the screens in 2004 and introduced us to the defeated Alesha Popovich. Then his portion of fame received a reasonable Dobrynya Nikitich, followed by the invincible Ilya Muromets. And when Russia began to lie in wait for a real disaster, our heroes united in a glorious team and never separated again, because together enemy hordes, as you know, easier to beat.
And now, exactly to the upcoming 2019th year in the box office is already the ninth full-length cartoon about heroes, in which a special role is played by Zabava, the niece of the Prince of Kiev, who was sent to the distant Tsargrad together with her husband Elisha to learn science.
But the prince at all costs needed the heir to the throne, and the Three heroes need to return Zabava home from this very Constantinople, where the treacherous Vasilevs still rules. But everything, of course, will not be as simple as you want, because the bishop has his own plans for the beauty, which he does not intend to let go without a fight.
The background for the development of the history of the “Heir to the throne” is very intriguing and detailed. You can immediately see that the author of the very first cartoon of the series Konstantin Bronzit returned to the “Bogatyry”. And for him, it was always important that a high-quality visual range be complemented by a decent script.
So in addition to the traditional jokes involving the permanent horse Julia, we will get a lot of court intrigues performed by Vasilevs and may even worry about the Prince of Kiev, no matter how cunning he himself was. But first of all, “Three Heroes and Heir to the Throne” is a bright, cheerful and flashy animated picture, which may be slightly inferior to the first cartoons of the series, but at the same time leaves only positive emotions.
So you can safely take on the arms of our favorite "Rich Men" and still please yourself with an interesting adventure, in which everything is not as simple as you might initially think.

Christmas trees are for children, but not the last. . .
If the Trees were already the Last, then the Bogatyrs are not even going to end. A short review of the cartoon without spoilers is slightly lower. We will choose what to go with the child in the holidays, leaving behind the brackets of Mary Poppins.
Guess what part of the saga came out this winter? Five? Seven? Eighth? Surprised, but it's the ninth! Next year is the anniversary, and it, unlike the Christmas tree, will definitely be (although, I feel, and the Christmas tree will not go anywhere, unfortunately).
To say that the story with the heroes has outlived itself already 3-4 cartoons ago is to say nothing. New heroes do not really appear, the old ones are already frankly bored and do not offer anything new. This time there will be a cameo of the Nightingale-Robber, a little illogical, and Vasilevsa with Tsargrad, where the Bogatyrs sailed across the sea as we remember.
What can I say about the plot? This time, the creators decided to play the gags with grimaces (there will be a lot of them, all sorts of stupid faces of the heroes) and classics from Tom and Jerry (unless the anvil falling was not enough) about “pain is funny.” To be honest, if an adult watches - there are a couple of moments where you laugh, but in general it is boring. But the children in the hall laugh every 5-10 minutes, which is not so bad.
Of the disadvantages - the length of the plot and long timekeeping. The story, banal-boring and linear, could be cut for half an hour, so that the cartoon was not so tired. Or add an alternative story. Surprisingly, the time of the cartoon is only 72 minutes, and the impression that it is 2-2.20 hours about. But, it is worth noting for justice, the Bogatyrs are still much more cheerful and interesting for an adult who wanders into the hall with his child than the Grinch, for example (where in general just hang yourself with anguish).
It is a little hurtful that the first parts of the heroes (solars and 1-2 parts of the “team”) were really interesting even for adults. And the jokes were good, and the plot was even cheerful. And now everything is rolling into some Christmas trees, thank you for not advertising. The conveyor stamps release after release and there is no individuality anymore. Let me ask you, what were you guys talking about last year? Remember? So it is...
Totally. Getting the baby clean, yeah. Going with the child - yes, acceptable, not as unbearably dreary as on the Grinch. Should I go see an adult for myself? No, I'd better skip it. And as promised in the announcement, choosing what to bring the child... Years up to 4-5 - on the Grinch, years up to 8 - on heroes, years up to 10 - Bumblebee will already be better, and older - of course, on Spider-Man Through Universes. That would be my advice. Unfortunately, the series became passable and faceless. Therefore, the review is faceless (neutral), and the assessment is middle. On the one hand, you can't say anything bad. On the other hand, nothing good is remembered either. . .
How has thought changed over the past two centuries? Strengthened by force or lacking in meaning? Where else did the author applaud the horse so violently? Sang an ode to the mare. Or a stallion. I-I-I-I-I-Woh! In 1830 appeared “Humpbacked Horse” – a fairy tale in the poems of Peter Ershov. Peasant son Ivanushka is a fool and a magical comrade carrying ' all hardships and hardships' a good assistant. Affordable for children's understanding wisdom is blowing the key. A scatter of values for the formation 'skeleton'. The main message is morality and morality wrapped in a diaper. I read and ' I got my mind '. Listen to the text from the mouth of an adult and ask for clarifications. And you complete, complete the luggage bag of my own. The entertainment genre, however, has not been canceled either. And here the viewer has more fun than the seeds of rational, eternal, educational. The horse is one of the main characters. So can they be compared? Togo, ' ancient' and this, present? Why? She's an animal. You should ride it. However, this is so, reflections ' on the horse' theme in Russian folk tales. I remember, I compared. Burned. And off the ski of spiritual soul.
Alexandre Dumas recruited for pendants for the queen a brave four desperate young men. The Musketeers stood up for the honor of Anna of Austria. The mission is difficult, the mission is dangerous. But d'Artagnan and the company did. Come on. Adventures full of dangers with battle scars, fights, good luck. The Russian four is not inferior to the French thugs. Ilyushenka, Alyoshinka, Dobrynyushka and toothy bully of the royal stables, nicknamed Julia, hurry with an order for thirty lands in the thirtieth kingdom, in the thirtieth state. Humor of horse rumbling over the edge - and to the father the king in bed with hooves, and a horse muzzle in the holy of holies of Tsargrad basileus with a scuffle. And the order from the dignitary does not require delay - in a short time to return to the Motherland niece Zabava with her husband Elisha - they stayed in guest universities for study. It's time to know. Back to court. And all would be nothing, but the Byzantine ruler knew about the poor health of the Prince of Kiev and planned the bad. Amusement - a wife to his son, and Rusich lime a prison guard. And to do this, compromising on him, and all sorts of fables ' hang'. The nicer, the more ridiculous the sweeter. What is the history of today with all this undercover knowledge?
Soon the fairy tale affects, but it is not soon done. Here the author has everything about everything - nothing, just over an hour of time. And for allotted timekeeping, the material is laid competently, skillfully. Extraordinary chase, irony of the Russian quarter, ' creeping tiger, hidden dragon' skill, slanted owl whistling Nightingale of the robber, portrait ornament of images with a thunderous roll of surprises. Colorful, memorable. Live animation for family viewing.
There are not many things in the Russian film business that I am not ashamed of. Things to be proud of are even less. Here, for example, the franchise “Three heroes” – the very noble thing that you can and should be proud of. Incredibly bright adventures, which for 14 years without interruption please both children and adults, are full of our national flavor, understandable stories, memorable characters and hilarious humor.
It is gratifying that after so much time, the authors and creators of the animated series not only do not slow down and do not lower the bar of their own achievements, but, on the contrary, strive more and more to improve the quality of the product they produce. Here is a new cartoon from the series “Three heroes: Heir to the throne” vivid confirmation of this.
The creation of this cartoon again attracted the notorious Konstantin Bronzit, who not only stood at the origins and shot the first cartoon in the series about Alyosha Popovich, but already managed to receive several nominations for the prestigious Oscar in the field of animation. Also to work on the new animated film from the series joined the screenwriter Maxim Sveshnikov, who worked on the first three (in my opinion, the strongest) cartoons in the franchise, and recently worked on the successful “Christmas 5” and “Bogatyr”. I think that it was the return of those who stood at the origins of the birth of a wonderful mill of unrestrained fun to the creation of the cartoon that influenced the fact that “Heir to the throne” turned out so good.
And this cartoon was really cool. Not only that, as usual, just shine the Prince of Kiev, Julius and heroes, but also returned heroes from the previous parts and received a glorious development of their stories. Very appropriately in the history of the heroes intertwined the line of malicious Vasilevs and his son, whose claims to the princely throne are very topical in today's reality. And the fact that the Prince of Kiev began to think about the heir(s) of his throne as if hints at the fact that we are most likely waiting for a grandiose renewal of heroes in epic cartoons, since this is already required by the new time.
My family and I had a great time watching. Cozy and such native humor, bright and familiar characters, an interesting story with several twists is so peaceful and joyful that it is impossible to remain indifferent. We really liked it. I recommend the cartoon to watch all those who for a long time have become related to the characters of the cartoon and he wants to know how they live there in their, albeit fictional, but such a colorful world.

“Fun for the sake of” – with such a slogan on the screens of a large country comes a new part of the beloved “Rich”. And it’s not about humor: just this time the brave three epic heroes will go to rescue the niece of the king – Zabava. And she does not languish at all in distant Constantinople, but learns all sorts of arts there. And Elisha's husband is with her. But the king feels the near end, and sends heroes for the heir to the throne.
In principle, the creators of this animated series did an obvious conjectural thing – they drew a cartoon designer. Heroes can be shuffled as you like, sent anywhere and put any jokes into their mouths. The viewer with the same adoration will eat it all.
As always, the cartoon looks in one breath - adventures alternate, humor flows through each scene. Special thanks for the wonderfully painted fun! A real Russian beauty who handles a spear no worse than Jackie Chan – so much so that overseas guards helmets crack!
I was glad that they did not forget Elisha, whom they had not seen for a long time. He is of course a classic hero - an energetic young man with a desire to prove his usefulness, but the authors were able to show him very nicely. Especially fun, as he and Vasilevs "fight", not realizing that against him are conducted enemy plots in the palace chambers.
In part, this style of animation could be called grotesque, because the characters, of course, are folded disproportionately, so that there is a sense of a fairy tale that is detached from reality, but at the same time captivating. But this is the principle of the creators: they seem to say that these are not real people, this is a myth, this is an epic. But what? Colorful, dynamic, with favorite heroes.
Separate praise deserve the writers who wrote the lines of the learned horse Julia. I don’t think there was such a scattering of aphorisms from the first part. The fans will laugh, the fans will laugh!
This is a wonderful holiday gift for the whole family. The mood of the holiday is guaranteed. Although all the action takes place in summer conditions. But the abundance of kindness and humor make the trip to this cartoon comparable to the New Year! I highly recommend it!
The slogan of the cartoon - "fun for the sake of" - reveals the whole plot. Everything happens for fun, for children’s laughter in the cinema. I think the cartoons of the Three Heroes series resemble something of the American series The Simpsons. That is, everything is exaggerated, everything is also modern. This cartoon is not vulgar, it just uses all the famous clichés of Russians about our lives. There's a casino in the cartoon again. Again, for children, it is explained that all foreigners are bad (especially their Emperor Basileus). Bad Byzantine foreigners from Constantinople. And a good robber nightingale sitting in prison at Vasilevs'. The nightingale-robber by his example calls on Russian children to tolerance.
Dubbing the cartoon at a high level. I like the voice of Sergei Makovetsky (he is the voice of the Kiev prince). I also liked the voiceover of Vasilevs’ son, Leonid. Leonid speaks brilliantly, childishly funny (voiced by Konstantin Bronzit). It is very good that the producer of the cartoon is Sergey Selyanov (he is known for the films “Brother” (1997) and “Brother 2” (2000)). This politically correct Russian cartoon was created by a team of film readers. But for me, the series about “wealthy” is only Russian “The Simpsons.” There is too much absurdity in the cartoon, too much national sweetness
I did not like the cartoon because of its mercantileness, its vulgar grounding. To be honest, I am not a fan of the series about “rich people”, but the voice of Sergei Makovetsky is simply delightful. Zabava's niece is very European emancipated. Fun for everyone decides everything.
In the cartoon, the mystery of the “needle” will be revealed. It seems to me that in the cartoon the Kiev prince is only having fun and thinking about his throne. For me, the cartoon is too blurry, too childishly grounded.
The New Year holidays are approaching, which means that the next part of the cartoon about all the famous Bogatyrs comes out on the screens. This time the tsar-father will choose the heir to the throne, and he needs neither more nor less, but to return to such a city his niece, who was far away in a foreign land in the hands of the treacherous Vasilevs, pretending to be a good friend of our beloved prince.
Without going into the details of the plot, I will describe my impressions after watching, the pros and cons of the cartoon.
In terms of animation, the cartoon looks even better than its previous counterparts. The colors have become brighter and more diverse, the locations are more intricate and in general the picture seems livelier and more dynamic, although the characters are mostly the same. The soundtracks are pleasant, cheerful and dynamic, to become all adventures. The voiceover is excellent, there has never been a problem with this. There are a couple of good ones, the so-called 'geopolitical' jokes, but no frills. The authors did not want to offend anyone, but only had fun.
It is cool that throughout all nine cartoons Sergey Makovetsky continues to be the Prince of Kiev. His timbre cannot be confused with anything. However, other actors also keep the brand and continue to give us positive emotions.
What a story. Genius is not worth waiting for, but new adventures will be to the taste of small spectators and not very fastidious parents. The bogatyrs are all the same harmless and fair slobs, the horse Julia, as always, burns off. He's got the most jokes and humorous things. Princess Zabava is a brave lady, it is not scary to leave the Kingdom. And Elisha continues to become a true hero, having a worthy example in front of him. In general, the cartoon is interesting, rich, “live” and kind.
“Three heroes and heiress to the throne” is the eighth part of the long-running saga from the studio “Mill”. Some paintings turned out to be more successful, others - less, but in general, the heroes are always fascinating to watch. Each time a new villain, a new adventure and new, funny jokes. Children laugh, adults smile. We had a good time.
