All forces to defeat the enemy! Who hasn’t heard of the famous Napoleonic Wars? The army of the most famous Emperor of France conquered many territories, but eventually broke their teeth by entering Russia. But we all know that. But the fact that the Russian troops were Bashkir riflemen, who managed to surprise even the most famous French military leaders, I think that few knew. But thanks to the new cartoon “Northern Cupids”, we learn a lot about them.
This story begins with the fact that the Russian Empire is threatened by another enemy. It was in 1788 that the Swedes, led by King Gustav, became too bold to attack us. This means that it is necessary to urgently gather troops and protect the Motherland from misfortune. Military leaders launched a cry throughout our vast country and it even reached the Bashkirs, who were always famous for their skillful warriors, and first of all for the shooters, about whom the world will soon learn.
The main characters of the cartoon are five Bashkirs who gather in a brave team and go to their first big war. They are young, hot, and with a sense of humour, they are fine too. So the Swedes will definitely not be easy with them. Victory, as we know, will definitely be ours, for which the guys are awarded by Queen Catherine herself. But this is all the most interesting is just beginning, because after the Swedes, Napoleon himself is attacking Russia and then our five Bashkirs, which do not put a finger in the mouth, are very useful!
This cartoon will be equally interesting for both adults and children, because it reveals for us truly unique pages of our history, which certainly should not be forgotten. And he makes it somehow very easy and interesting. That is, very important, epic events slip before us, but at the same time there is a place for good jokes, charming comedy gags and demonstrative animated heroism, which in some ways resembles the adventures of the Three Bogatyrs.
Separately, I want to praise the animation that brought this story to life for us. It is at a fairly good technical level and at the same time pleases with charming caricature. That is, there is no unnecessary cruelty, but at the same time the story looks expressive and very beautiful, which was required of this cartoon.
Thus, I want to say that “Northern Cupids” is a great cartoon for the whole family, which reveals for us amazing pages of our history and introduces heroes who definitely deserve to be known about them.
