Anatoly Petrov's "Poligon" (alternately called "Polygon" and "Firing Range" in English) is adapted from an anti-war science fiction story by Sever Gansovsky. Like "Dr. Strangelove", it shows that the technology designed for war will destroy us if we don't reign in its power. In this case, the weapon in question turns into a sort of Frankenstein's monster (which could be a metaphor for military technology in general).

I've liked all the Soyuzmultfilm cartoons that I've seen. These cartoons prove that a cartoon doesn't need fancy animation or famous people voicing the characters. It just needs a good, clever plot. That's exactly what this one has.

I understand that the animation uses two celluloid layers for each character to make them look 3D, while the characters are caricatures of Paul Newman, Ringo Starr, Yul Brynner, and others.
