English The animation is just beautiful! :-D And the propaganda is absolutely epic. The documentary value of this fiction has reached cosmic proportions. However, the evil imperialist Wall Street spider that PULLS the strings all the way to Chi-town is so delightfully amateurish that even pre-1930 Ire-Film would have laughed at it. ()

English By far the funniest propaganda of (not only) communism to be seen today. Unfortunately, what's behind this gem isn't funny at all..... and that pretty much says it all. ()
