The animated movie voluntarily provides a direct reflection towards the soviet style, and to honor the dogs which were first sent unto the space in around the 1960s.
The animation is unvivid, it does have some glitches however, it is still bearable to watch.
The story struggles at first and I only enjoyed the last few possible minutes more because that is precisely where the innocent fun naturally began and the movie gained its cheerful soul.
The dialogues are sometimes humorous and clumsy at the same time, and I do appreciate the voice-over though it isn't the best but they did give out their best.
It should not be compared to Pixar's or any big production house, though, it is mediocre at its best.
The kids can discover a bit about the Ancient Soviet times and Sputnik space program.
The movie points out positive message like friendship, family and loyalty.
With family it is ostensibly a popcorn worthy one-time watch.
