Unlike the first one in the Parasolka series, this one feels more grounded (I mean, it's not a total fantasy) and actually has some sort of point - to remind people that if they want safe neighborhoods, it's also their responsibility to help make them so. Overall, it's not sophisticated, but is a fun and optimistic film. Interesting to compare it to If I Were My Dad 2, a film made by Moscow's central television animation studio, with a very similar premise (two big brutes who bully a man who initially wants nothing more than to avoid a fight), except in that one, they never get their comeuppance anywhere except in a little boy's imagination. Perhaps it's no coincidence that that film was made in a USSR that was disintegrating.
