Pluskylang Great Film overall

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Russian Rhapsody" is a 7-minute cartoon from over 70 years ago, from the latter years of World War II and this is actually the animated take on Hitler unsuccessful attempt to invade the Soviet Union. Of course, it is all very much over-the top and absurd as it is a Warner Bros cartoon, but I still believe the most interesting aspect here is really that it is 100% propaganda from start to finish. Unfortunately, I must say that the comedy is not on par with the best from the Golden Age of Animation and maybe it shows that writer Lou Lilly is not exactly the most prolific. I guess Clampett and Blanc (wow they must have hated him in Germany) did a good job again and the "Gremlins from the Kremlin" song is actually quite catchy. The Russians must have liked this little movie. I myself did not and that is why I don't recommend it.

TheOtherFool Hitler is concerned about his aeroplanes towards Moskou, as they all somehow seem to be missing. He decides to go on the mission himself (as he's apparently the best pilot), but in the air he has to do battle with some strange small creatures, who call themselves 'The Gremlins From The Kremlin'.This short animation story is really silly and not that fun either. It's even pretty boring. I've seen so many better propaganda films from that era; you can stop your efforts to track this one down if you'd ask me: go for a movie like 'Education For Death' instead.4/10.

Calvin_C This cartoon is a real classic. Hitler is made into a literal jack-ass in the film. For those who don't know, Hitler isn't an Oriental in the end..."Nutzis are da cwaziest peoples" is a Lew Lhler impression. Watch for this gag in countless other cartoons like Porky's Snooze Reel (1942) and Scaredy Cat (1948).

QKnown During the early 1940s, It was pretty easy for allied nations to mock Adolph Hitler and his Nazi ways. But shortly after a year when this cartoon first appeared, footage of the concentration camps was released world-wide to stunned individuals. All of a sudden, Hitler and the Nazi party were no laughing matter. So maybe this was why I never saw this toon air on my television during my youth years. Yet I recently caught it and *shocker* enjoyed it! Mel Blanc did an amusing job imitating Hitler plus the Gremlin theme song is pretty catchy! Along with the energetic directing by Bob Clampet (Nearly all of his toons had some anarchy in them) and the familiar faces of Warner Bros. animators & execs, put on the bodies of the gremlins,make this cartoon memorable.It's best to watch it with an open mind,forget what Hitler stood for, and enjoy watching the "Gremlins from der Kremlin" .
