"Lisa i zayats" or "The Fox and the Hare" is a Soviet animated short film from 1973, so this one is already almost 45 years old. It was directed by Yuriy Norshteyn, who is certainly known to anybody with an interest in Soviet (animated) cinema. However, I must say I have seen clearly superior works from him. Neither the animation style not the plot and story managed to convince me here. I would not say it is a failure, but you certainly really need to love the Soviet Age of Animation a lot in order to appreciate this film. I myself did not. The usual aspect here is that animals play the main characters as you already hear from the title. I personally cannot say that this is nowhere near my favorite (animated) (short) films, not even from the 1970s. Thumbs down and I do not recommend the watch.
