The Continuation War doesn't have the same kind of simple, plucky David vs Goliath narrative. Small country strikes back to reconquer lost territory with Nazi help, goes a bit beyond the original borders, tacitly contributes to the Siege of Leningrad and the death from starvation of hundreds of thousands of civilians, is beaten back to where they were during the Winter War and then some when the Soviets finally have some men to spare, then switches sides and allies with the Soviets to fight against the remaining Nazis, who proceed to go lay waste to most of Lapland as they retreat... Not exactly Hollywood material.
