The old Red King is very sad, because he can’t help his friend, the Green King, who lives on the silk meadow, and the wicked witch sends her army on him by the thousands to destroy him. However, he has a heroic and handsome son, who with the help of a wonder horse and a magic sword takes off to defeat the witch - and to save the silk meadow.
Made by the Kecskemét Film Studio.
Directed by: Lajos Nagy
Storyteller: Gyula Szabó
Music: Kaláka band
The makers used the decorative art of a certain countryside region at each episode. The trio of folk art, folk music and folk tales are masterfully combined in the episodes, which have unique imagery, sometimes spicy folk humor in the dialogues. Thanks to the natural presentation of the storytellers, and the music of the Kaláka band, the viewer can experience something unique and special.

Who else is binge watching these?
Sad I'm on the last season :(
Me. Completely hooked. Childhood memories (my mum is hungarian and i used to watch these in hungarian). I found these and in love with the voice and accent of the English narrator 😂
Sara Handy 4 days and I almost watched them all..
It’s such a odd thing to be binge watching but yes
Me. :) I really love reading this folktales when I was younger,and I love watching these now. :)
*gains sword*
*gains moustache*
You can only become a true man when you have a sword in your hand and you know how to wield it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
@@kashinimeyo lol
I actually laughed at that. "Oh hey, finally a prince with no musta-never mind..."
It actually makes sense because when young boys got a sword they would make paper moustache representing that he was a MAN
How do you get your comments high lighted
I'm glad the old man actually had sense unlike most stories. Like, he took a moment to think why the boy didn't kill him. Most of the time people just go *CHOP CHOP* then realize.
Well if he did attack the boy, I wouldn’t blame him. I agree with you but there’s a strange man in his tent and his daughter is in the other room
@@bennu547 he should be worried about what the daughter is capable of doing lmao
Maiden went from 0 to 100 real quick
She got super thristy and all he did was move her leg and arm
I mean I'd probably propose to a guy if he let me sleep 🤣
Its stupid but i was 90% expecting the witch to be the blonde woman he saw at the tent
Sam Sihite Same!!😂
it’s not stupid at all : ) There’s a lot of deception in folktales lol, I don’t blame you for suspecting.
Yeah, it would have worked thematically with the "Always go for the option that looks ugliest" thing
Like someone commented before, if she's blonde she gets a happily ever after lmao.
No, I thought that too. It would have been a great plot twist to this story.
I like this particular animator a lot
Same, this art and narration is so relaxing and interesting, its mythical and mysterious. Its very enticing and somewhat nostalgic even though I only found these recently. Now im addicted to them!
Me too, the art is so beautiful.
Jun Burgin It is a nice upgrade.
It reminds me of a quilt
Man even Anna would think that the maiden moved to fast
Totally 😆😆
super horny maiden.
True!
Try sleeping for a few years in the tent with your old father and no one else to hang out with - and you'll move even faster :))))))
@@fumomofumosarum5893
😂😂
Man: *puts her leg in a more comfortable position to let her sleep better*
Woman: we are now getting married I’ve been waiting for this my whole life you have no say in this.
You know, with some padding this could actually make a really good Disney movie? It's got a pretty dynamic story structure, and could mesh pretty well with modern Disney sensibilities.
Oh there are a lot of great myths and folk tales Disney could use and I hope they will, because these Hungarian folk tales, for example, would indeed make a great disney film!❤
Better than making all these live action remakes
Especially if they make them with good morals😄😇
Nope. Cause Disney will change the essence of the story. That’s their modern style.
It's not "feminist" enough. 🙄🙄
Son: oh that looks uncomfortable, let me move you back-
Maiden: *we’re married now and you have no say in this*
I love how contrary in some fairytales, instead of waking up her with a kiss, the man just took her leg and hand to place it on the bed and she was the one who kissed him lol
They really didnt need to add that moustach
Hahahaha!!!
True
It wouldn’t be a Hungarian Folk Tale if the mustache didn’t sprout out of nowhere instantly.
They did though
There will be no adventures without a boss mustache sir! None!
Dude, how could you let your horse live like that? The hell?
Many tales from the area where Hungary is tell a tale of a horse which is so powerful that he needs to starve so he would be kept tamet (in some cases saved from witches or thieves) . But only a bit of food is enough to bring back their fiull strenght . Also these horses are usualy imortal.
@@nicetomeetyou3362 Okay, fair in that context, but was living in a neglected state, covered in mud necessary?
@@freewolf317 dependong on the storu. Sometimes horss would be bones an skin sometimes it would be kept into bag until someone takes it.
Today it's animal cruelty but in these stories it's used as metaphor. Don't think too much of it.
Come back to reality dude...
I know Right?
This is like one of the only romances in Hungarian folktales that I actually ship. The dude wasn’t being overly perverted (or being promised children of golden hair) and the maiden actually looked like she wanted to get married. Also, they just look so pretty.
Whoa the animation style in this one is much smoother!
micanikko Must be newer.
Right?! I was just about to comment ask if the animation budget quadrupled randomly. 😂😂
Aww, I like the other much better.
The king actually has arms
@@bjones2600 they were made like 40 years apart :D
I'd read a prequel starring the guy's father in his youth. Where did he get a magic sword and Sleipnir Lite? How did he befriend a guy that lives in the middle of a golden forest? What kind of adventure did HE have?
Very few people know that the Hungarian folk tale is not just a fairy tale. They have a very serious philosophical content. Behind the content is the zodiac chronology. In Hungarian: "Napút" (maybe Sun trip(?) in English). Every action and animal has a meaning. There is literature on this, books and lectures have been published on the subject.
I feel like the story would be like an epic if everything gets to be fleshed out.
Example: Where did the kings get their swords? the 6 legged horse? why was the witch by herself? etc.
Like the lore behind this could probably be a rich one!
likely these stories came from longer ones that got kind of forgotten over changed over time. Like how Cinderella had fur slippers originally.
Yeah write some fan fiction / a more fleshed out version.
As of for more background:
Considering the Imagery of the cartoon, the Red King would be the Hungarian King, the King in the tent would be the Cuman King and the witches Minions the Mongols. (Historically the Mongols declared war on Hungary because the Hungarians wouldn't hand over Cuman refugees). The marriage would symbolize the integration of the Cumans into Hungarian society.
and why was the witch attacking the meadow's king? it was never explained ._.
guess her hatred was so great that she just up and disappeared once jabbed with a dagger. so far even some witches have changed their form to something good-er in the end. maybe the witch was the king's ex-queen or mother-in-law, that'd be quite something xD
Also why didn't the witch kept some soldiers to keep her safe, even after seeing the prince get in her cave she just kept sending her soldiers out, not careing what will happen to her if the prince reaches her.
@@boomerix I really like your interpretation from Hungarian history.
Anyone notice before 2:44, the prince didn’t have a mustache?
It literally just popped onto his face out of nowhere.
Because now he is a Maaaaaaaan
@@Naharu. a maaaaaaaaaaaaan
the mermaid prince
Are you Mindy the mermaid?
4:04 how princesses truly sleep
I must be a princess then
Agust Daddy
Haha lol
XD
How i sleep:
Okay wow
The king just kept his treasured horse in a pit of mud and let it become emaciated. Very nice. XD
Yeah, his horse is Loki's godchild, so it probably wasn't going to die.
@@achanwahn it wasn't, the Hungarians have nothing to do with Norse mythology
@@lime__time Welcome to Europe.
@@datkhornedog899 bold of you to assume I'm new
@@lime__time *Crazy Time Screw here as now there's Vikings with muskets raiding an Artist's castle*
So I've been binge watching this and uhmmm when did we upgrade on the animation!
4:30 jeez that girl is desperate as heck
Can we blame her tho
Ikr, I mean can"t they have at least one date first?
MOOD lmao
@@Balendula that's just how it was back in the day
If u care for hungarian girls they will do like this. And more. Its true.
Isnt works in other countries?
I have healed their hearths (and body which is deeply tied when we talk.about girls).
THE PRINCE WOULD BE SO MUCH MORE HANDSOME WITHOUT THAT FREAKING MUSTACHE
SAiKA I see your not a Tom Selleck fan
MariaMaria
I don't know who that is, but I'll assume that I'm not a fan XD hahaha!
I'm getting the impression that every grown young man was expected to have a mustache at that time and place.
@@alicewilloughby4318 There was a time in Europe where every man in good standing would have a well groomed mustache or some other form of neatly groomed facial hair.
I like his moustache.
That woman is quite forward
If you're Hungarian, THANK YOU FOR THESE. I've been binge watching these. 💗
4:25 lmao damn, that’s all it takes girl?
Haha
Calm down everyone, they matched on tinder prior to kissing in that tent..
The artistry is beautiful, and I loved how they drew that girl's hair.
2018-2019 was such a tough time for me. These stories saved me and helped kept my sanity. 💚💜❤️
oh my this is one of the best. It's so rare to see a story with son and father's great relationship as the daughter's relationchip with her father too. A story about friendship and true love is very very cute. Also the witch is funny xD
I was expecting for a plot twist that the witch was actually da golden hair girl (the daughter) hahahaha
I was waiting for the same thing
2:20 wow he became young again for 1 seconds lol
6:58 - "And what happened then?"
Well, in Whoville they say that the witch's small heart grew three sizes that day.
But she still died, because her heart had been stabbed, and you just don't survive that.
Ironic how the Witch wanted the meadow so badly, even though she already had one if only she didn't build her mountain and loom to attack the old man.
Why does every animal in these stories only eating burning coal
Cause they're are magic 👋😀👋
CUz cOal iS tAsTy
the prince looks like Mario with that moustache.
And the chick looks like princess peach
By folktales
The origins of Mario and Peach XD
I'm surprised at the fact that the horse had six legs.
Yeah, but for Odin’s steed, he has eight legs and Sleipnir is the fastest horse in Norse mythology.
Is it just me, or were the witch's minions dressed like ottoman soldiers?
LOL
Nope
yes, they look a lot like them.
Witch is a hungarian slang for otoman ...You now
It's not just you, it's intentional. Hungary was invaded and occupied for 150 years by the Ottoman empire, so they aren't kindly represented in our folklore.
Why are these videos suddenly being recommended to me?
Resistance is futile.
@@dyscea me too..
Same I resisted for weeks ...then I clicked and here I am
The maiden was thirsty af.... Damn that escalated quickly 🤣🤣
But u can't blame her though. The only man she came across for a long time was her dad. Cuz she and her dad were stuck there cuz of evil witches remember?
So once this fine prince showed up, she was like "gotta do this before he gets killed by witches".
that ain't no loom the witch is using. it's a medieval copy machine xD
A 3D printer.
I love that other countries can watch these in their languages too! I'm Hungarian so seeing these comments make me so happy lol
I like the artwork style in these better than the other stories. :)
I don’t know why but these stories are really satisfying to watch and listen.
I am binge watching these Hungarian folk tales I'm getting way too attached and addicted to it
Ngl i love the art and animation improvement ngl
Life was so much easier back then
In Hungarian tales, unless you're the youngest/only son of the household or a blonde woman, you don't get happy endings that much. Not to mention how low their lifespans were and the numerous deadly diseases with no cure at that time.
This is my favorite art style of the stories yet.
Also, I’m all for a folk tale where the sleeping maiden is treated with respect, and she goes in for the kiss and marriage proposal!!
There must be a longer version of this somewhere. This seems like it would have the makings of a great adventure game.
I feel like I'm playing side quests in an RPG whenever I watch these folktales.
I'm a grown ass woman but i have a 102° fever so I'm just binge watching these with childlike glee
This reminds me of Cartoon Saloon's art style a bit. Love it.
You can't stop on just one of these
I needed those sword's in every game I ever played!☹️
Prince: walks into room Princess: I am speed
4:01 hahahaha i love that part
The princess looks like me when i try to sleep like a lady
A Kingdom inside a TENT!! How can a king live in a tent and there are no servants around him and no people to rule them ?? The more suspicious thing is the Prince entering the Prince's room during the sleep of her father !! This prince does not know the assets. 😂😂😂😂
I know right😂😂😂
Most arab rulers lived in (quite luxurious) tents too. Nomads usually are living that way, and hungarians, similarly to bedou and arab tribes, were nomads a few centuries back
@@kokokokita533 I know that my friend, but I will correct you one. The Arabs lived in houses and their rulers lived in palaces after conquests and not tents. The Badia people live in the tents and were not luxurious. Thanks for trying to explain to me but I was just joking about the episode. 😊🌹
Hajar Al-Failakawi I’m half hungarian half arab hun. I’m quite aware about the history of both.
U can't imagine how much I fancy your lovely stories , keep going u r doing great
Regards
I watched these stories when i was little, but they were translated in Serbian. Good job with translation!
So...the King and his son are Hex-blade witch-slayers with access to a semi-divine, elemental mount?
Nice.
The animation is so beautiful. Reminds me of cartoon saloon.
The animation for this one was absolutely wonderful
I love the symbology but still cant correlate this magical horse- why must it be kept weak until its powers are needed? Why does it eat only embers? Why did the puli dog eat embers? And is this the same horse from the stable of the three headed dragon?
The táltos is a figure in Hungarian mythology, a person with supernatural power similar to a shaman.
The táltos horse or steed ("táltos paripa") is the mount of the táltos, and also a stock character in Hungarian folk tales. The táltos steed would typically appear at first to the protagonist (usually a peasant's son, adventuring prince, or a youngest son) disguised as an old and ugly jade. If it is treated well, it would ask the hero to feed it hot cinders, whereupon its transform into a steed with golden coat, golden saddles and five or six legs. According to some experts, the táltos horse is a symbol of the drum of the táltos. They heated it over fire (see hot cinders) to make it suitable to play and used the drum to meditate (fly away).
Dragon: Appearing in almost all folk tales, this creature breathes flame and guards captive women and treasure, but unlike Western counterparts, it is always man-shaped, wields a weapon (often multiple), can ride a horse, and has seven heads, sometimes three, 12 or 21 (relating to numbers in astrology). Dragons usually symbolized human behaviour or character, i.e. when the hero was fighting with him, he was fighting to overcome his own bad behaviour, habit or characteristic.
lol
@@gbvn1173 I really like your interpretation from Magyar mythology.
The animation is so different!!!!
Oh my goodness, a story about a king with a SON?!
Am I still watching the same series?
Lol why do I keep coming back to these old tales? I have a short attention span for most UA-cam videos and yet I sit through all of these videos
The magical horses have an unusual number of legs because these horses are special. They were made somehow. I wonder what significance the number of legs could mean.
I think the significance is that "3" was usually considered a "magic number", that's why in some stories we find "3 daughters/princesses" or "3 sons/princes" and 6 is divisor of 3, so yeaah.(basically all divisors of 3 are considered "magic numbers" in those folktales)
Also, the hungarian folktales are very similar with the romanian ones.
I have been binge watching these and love the cliches. How do you expect to fly if your horse only has four legs? Queens are either witches who tricked the king or very beautiful maidens, usually fertile for many children. Murdering witches is a victimless crime. And kingdoms are exchanged like water. I. LOVE. THESE. STORIES!
God these romances are quick.
Why is the poor horse in the mud ???? WHY
sKin pRotEcTiOn
you kind sir, are an absolute saint. we need more people like you and tim from grand illusions
Why am I so amused by these videos
Saaamee!!
The animation in this one video is so good I love itXD
Drawings r awsum with detailed details
Actually this channel just dubs it in English
detailed details
Man I LOVE this art
Me find 6 legged horse: LOKI IS THAT YOUR SON?!
I want a sword and horse like that ❤
One day his son decided to ask him why he was always so sad; it’s called depression son :-)
O shoot she got lips.
"You fool! We've all got lips"
This art style hella fire
Thank you for uploading I love these animated series from other nations. So very well made.
Honestly speaking i expected some plot twist about Blonde girl, like she being actual witch or something. It seems blondes is just dolls for marriage in this stories, falling in love with first prince they see.
Or they are just simple and have no ulterior motives.
It’s refreshing to hear folk tales with no modern agendas
I LOVE the way you tell stories. I could listen to them for hours! ^_^
Old man: wHO
ARE YOU AND WHAT DI YOU SEEK HERE STRANGER
Prince:*shrugs*
Wow the witches nose is long
XD
I remember watching these as a kid on minimax , i never knew it would get translated
this story is the most creative so far, unless it does have copies of it
Their facial animation is different than the other stories and I like it better!
Red King: is sad he can't help his friend
Also Red King: waits an entire year to mention this to anyone else
Just came back from watching the older Hungarian tales. It looks so different!
Ok but like why did he grow a mustache when he grabbed the sword
I love the flying swords.
I wish other cultures had series such as these...
There is one series called Stories from My Childhood which is a collection of old Russian fairytales cartoons that are dubbed by notable English voice actors like Bill Murray, Kathleen Turner, etc.
I love all the stories of your channel 😊
Love the animation
Thank you, in the name of Pannónia Film Studio. :)
THE ANIMATION IS SO MUCH MORE SMOOTHER!
I love how I just keep watching these tales 😭😂💖
And ofc he grows a mustache😅
Jimin’s Suga Kookie 127 I wish he didn’t 😔 he looked cuter without one.
Kiara Thompson u right😤
2:44 no moustache but nonono morning comes and he has a beautiful moustache! WHAT IS THIS ????????
Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up, lady. You can't just kiss and MARRY a man you BARELY met.
