"The Hedgehogs' War" is good known for a few generations of Bulgarian kids. Actually this is one of the most famous Bulgarian movies for children and their grown parents of all time. The battle of the kids with the people from their block to win the right to play a basketball in the backyard becomes a war of the generations, you will laugh with they plans how to get a basket from the school, how to stay in the local basketball team and becomes a future champions, with the first excitements of love, honor and friendship, everything with the background of the famous song, performed by Asen Kisimov, "Where Are My Children's books, Tell Me, My Dusty Box..":-) I personally give the film 10 out of 10, like every other grown with that movie Bulgarian kid will do!

Well, actually i was one of the many kids that took place in the audition for that movie back in 1979. I still remember the whole thing very clearly - the big studio, the "waiting room", lots of the-then-Bulgarian film stars, etc... The whole thing started when few guys from the Bulgarian Film Corporation came and visit my school, looking for kids for the roles distribution. Luckyly i was chosen for the cast and i loved it coz meantime i read the book, but I was unfortunate in the final casting, when the film makers choose another boy for the role I was supposed to take. Well never mind! The boy really played excellent and the movie IS still a "Bulgarian Classic"!!
