The Great Space Voyage is the English title for a 1976 Russian Sci-Fi Movie.
3 young teens wind-up having to run the space ship after their adult commander has to be quarantined during the trip.
The acting from the three teens is actually fairly good and the sets are believable (if a bit dated.)
It does get a bit strange in places. There are some abrupt cut-scene moments. Some of these are symbolic in nature and include musical themes. (There's nothing quite like having a music video break-out in the middle of the movie your watching.)
You expect Soviet-era movies to be a bit heavy-handed. This one isn't. It is geared toward a younger audience and seems to have the goal of creating interest in the Soviet Space program, so it did serve some propaganda purpose when first aired.
It seems to steer clear of overt political messages.
(And since Hulu allows embedding:)
