This is the story of Theseus and his attempt to kill the Minotaur in the maze in Crete.
It’s odd watching Greek characters speak Russian even if you are reading the subtitles. The animation is not Pixar or Disney, but I’m not sure what to expect from 1971. It’s not Hanna Barbara either. If you want a quick 20 minute version of the story….I guess it is ok, but only if your queue is empty. The real highlight comes at the 8:00 mark while on the ship to Crete a Bollywood-like dance number breaks out ? Because ? So awkward. 5/10
Here is a link to watch the subtitled version on YouTube: (Sadly this video has been taken down :() )
