Peter the Great era + magic school + a ripped manuscript that could end the world? Yes please.
In the late 17th century Russia, a dark magician arrives at the capital in search of the ultimate power hidden within the Magic Worlds, the entrance to which is located inside the Sukharev Tower and is tightly guarded by Jacob Bruce, the Wizard of Balance. When Jacob's apprentice Petya and daughter Margarita accidentally rip apart the ancient manuscript that is the source of his powers, they must venture into the Magic Worlds to restore it.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jacob Bruce was a real Scottish-Russian polymath in Peter the Great's court, actual alchemy enthusiast. The film transforms documented historical weirdness into canon.
Sukharev Tower was demolished in 1934; this film is now the most elaborate visual record of its interior architecture. Animation as accidental preservation.
