While the prince fights in the war, his wife bears him two golden haired sons. The witch with the iron nose, who wanted the prince to marry her daughter, kidnaps and buries the babies, replacing them with two puppies. When the naves reaches the prince that puppies were born, in his anger he has his wife killed, and he marries the daughter of the witch. Despite all her manoeuvres, the two babies survive and the mother did not die either; the witch and her daughter are appropriately punished.

I love how the bed brothers are having a private conversation with one another while the witch is just hanging about outside the window and casually overhears them.
The witch often swings by to watch her daughter sleep
@@matteusconnollius1203 Oh, hi, that's not creepy at all! XD!
@@glowworm2 Nope, got to pass Friday night somehow
Witches don't sleep.
Favorite part of this video.
Reincarnation is strange in Hungarian folk tales
They had a lot
I agree....my culture is very weird :/
From what is your profile pic? I love it!
That time I got reincarnated as a tree
Starry - P im Hungarian
moral of the story be a side character and you'll live
just like in real life!
Hardest I’ve ever laughed in a while. XD
Nah Bruh, Catch Two gold fish and your ass is set for life
lydia mugure lol
Perfect
They both died brutal deaths. BUT LOOK THE FISHERMAN GOT GOLD!
Kyan Pepper
And what did he do for all that? Be a tour guide for a while.
Well she did keep murdering babies over and over
Its not fair the two prince tried to stand for them!
Also, Idk if u noticed but in many old short tales like this, the fisherman is always portrayed as a poor and hardworking man that keeps on living a sad and complicated life till he appears on the tale, where he is rewarded in some way just for being himself
This is dark
Lol
are we just going to ignore that all the drama was partly the kings fault too? he didnt love his first wife he just wanted the gold ffs.
Kirana Chandra ok
Yes because there's nothing wrong with his desire and any actions he did were reasonable for the circumstances.
he had just gone through war when he got word that she had apparently lied to him to gain favor and become queen just to have an affair and produced 2 dog heirs lol he's a saint for regretting his command so quickly
HAIR OF GOLD You Fool. He wanted blonde children, it was never expected that their hair literally be made of gold
@@Snoozl... I wouldn't say he was a saint. 🤔
He blames the witch but the king was the one who sentenced them in a fit of rage
exactly
RIGHT T0T i wanted the boys and mother to just get away from these nutjobs
I mean the witch did have his sons murdered several times.
As for the wife, i am going to be honest if I was a man from those days where superstition preceded reason and my wife gave birth to dogs, then I would believe some black magic was happening here too
The witch was guilty of murderer regardless, she buried two new borns alive so they died of asfixiation , the king did sentenced the queen wrongfully and way over of what she deserved it, but the witch killed 2 new born babies ...
But he had a bad day and regreted it after all! /s
It's hilarious how near the end, the witch and her daughter were sentenced to that death, then the scene and music just changes to super happy.
RIGHT?!WTF*WAS*THAT?!!!
It's like a tradition.
Oh, something bad happened, one minute silence and now let's party.
Tbh it’s called justice. They killed those boys - multiple times in horrible ways. They hoped the queen was dead inside the belly of a whale. They created a situation where the king believed his wife was dead and his sons were nonexistent. And the daughter “married” a married king. They literally used the princes as beds - and the princes were sentient and aware of it!
@@destroysilence so being chopped in 4 was justified. Even the queen and her sons asked for mercy
@@PrincessAfrica3 True, but still...the witch and her daughter committed horrible crimes which they should still be punished for. I cannot imagine being merciful towards them.
Don’t you just hate it when you’re enemies just don’t die
*your

Yeah bro, hate when that happens
Wife: gives birth to dogs

He slaughtered the drawn and quartered the witch and her daughter and they all lived happily ever after! Good night children, sweet dreams!

Lmao our folk tale of cinderella is worse 😂😂 the sisters cut their toes to fit the shoes and then at the end when Prince married cinderella they went to the wedding crows ate their eyes and the prince threw them in the sea as shark food cuz "how dare they attend the wedding" 😂
@@vanessan5892 yes, the German Cinderella.
I find it odd that the queen just forgives him for throwing her into the sea. Hm.
She haven't got any choice
Hey hey! Let’s not forget that he regretted it 😂😂
She knew that he was blinded by anger!
Men ain't shit and she just accepted it
@@viktortako1773 She could keep living into the whale forever, it seems boring but she came out clean, well dressed with a good and combed hairstyle and aparently she feeds herself fine
For anyone who says the punishment was weird or too cruel: Im hungarian and this form of punishment of dragging them throughout the whole country while tied to a horse and then cutting them up to four pieces was actually fairly common back in the day when we still had kings
Just horrifying and cruel
It's funny to me people commenting things on those videos without understanding that those folk tales are 1) from another culture, 2) another epoch and 3) fiction.
I mean… Grin’s Fairytales were pretty gruesome too…
Grimm’s*
This sort of torturous punishment is unfortunately not that unique. Being “drawn and quartered” wasnt abolished in England till 1870
I’ve noticed that a lot of these folk tales always have the brown haired people the enemies while the blonde are the most beautiful and heroic, idk just a observation
@birdman33369 Gypsies i understand, ut why Jews too? Like, you know, Jesus was Jewish too.
@birdman33369 I see
I think thats because dark colors always refer to bad and villains and bright colors to the pure and good .. the colors control the animation :)
There are plentiful ones with dark haired people as the central protagonists and/or love interests as well. Light haired people are/were considered barbaric outcasts in pagan cultures. It later changed, but brown and black still dominated. That hadn't/hasn't changed through the centuries. My mother's side is primarily blond(e), but only my younger sister has fair hair and green-gray eyes. Father, our elder brother, my twin sister, and I are all brunettes. Pale heroes and heroines make sense here.
Why do these stories always make the thicc and ample😍😍😘😘 ladies the villains or undesirable women?! Hmmm, maybe this comment is TMI.....
Its interesting that both the queen and the boys emerged from water.
Water having magical properties and being the place of birth and rebirth and whatnot
Tirone That is because in many Pagan traditions water is the gateway to the otherworld. Also, there is usually some Christian syncretism linked to these stories: water often represents "rebirth" through baptism. Hungarians used to be pagan nomadic horsemen who settled down and gave up their pagan traditions to Catholicism at around 1000 A.D. This conversion was rather abrupt and it completely changed the profile of the magyars within about a hundred years. Hence, this sudden turn is deeply embedded in the Hungarian culture. Imagine an Eastern nation similar to the Huns that used to roam freely around Europe and terrorise Christian villages suddenly turning to Rome, it adopts Western lifestyle and dedicates its entire existence for defending the Catholic West. You have to give and repeat a valid reason why this benefits you over the relative freedom you used to have as a nomad. Although with all that being said, most folk tales have mixed origins and they don't always go back further in time than the late middle ages.
@@elodmarton9588 because Jesus Christ is the truth, the way and life.

And what punishment should the king get for not loving his wife truly and only for the golden hair of his sons
anu Kumaran No sex for the rest of his life.
Who said he didn’t love her??
@@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395 he didnt love her *truly*, as OP said, because he just wanted golden sons. That was the original impetus behind him marrying her. True love is unconditional
@@xhappyponyxwasmyoldname1395 You don't kill your wife because she didn't give you the sons you wanted.
He had her brought to him based on what the three girls said, probably only because it was the nicest thing. she was also, possibly, very pretty. clealry, there were no other women present, so she was the best choice. i'm sure he learned to love her, and ANY man would worry about his wife giving birth to puppies.
I love how in Hungarian folk tails, the men always have a moustache
Is true!! 😂 🤣!!
The men are almost always idiots who are saved by women, yet they are the ones who become kings and rule over everyone.
🧔🏼🧔🏻🧔
One day, these folk tales just started popping up in my recommendations. It's so odd how hooked I am on them.
same!
Same
I met a Hungarian and a few weeks later, these came up on my feed. …Big Brother I tell ya!
I like how the King didn't see his sin in all this. She should have left him smh
That's what happens when you have absolute power. The king should have been made by his first wife to do some penance for his part in everything.
I think what both of you fail to realize is that the King was literally manipulated to do most of the things he did. If anything, the witch and her daughter are the worst of everyone.
Perhaps you acknowledge this or not, you still need to understand that the King was played for a fool and was deprived of his family by a pair of greedy and selfish witches. Don't make him to be the villan he isn't.
Besides, I think after 17 years of being apart from each other can be enough to not waste time that could be spent happily in hating each other or being sore about past mistakes. Also, it's not like the King didn't regret his mistake and beg to be forgiven. He DID realize the he messed up BIG TIME.
(Although I partially agree with @Sage Ninja about the giving the King a sort of penance though.)
played for a fool or manipulated by an outside party, ordering the murder of your wife and supposed children was solely his decision. Keeping his disappointment in check and not lashing out is on him. He was irrational and even though he immediately regretted it the fact that he had it in his heart to kill his wife and sons, even if he felt like he was justified was evil and is only on him.
She couldn't left him, he has all the money. Beats living in a whale's belly.
Natalia Soza really, it was the witch's fault that the king ordered his wife and the puppies to be fed to a whale, just because he didn't get the two golden-haired kids which was obviously all he wanted to get from his wife? Lol.
The three girls in the beginning look like the girls from the story; the three girls with one eye, two eyes, and three eyes
That was my thought when I saw them!
I was just done with the three sisters' story when I came across this one, and they indeed look similar. 😂
thay use the same designs sometimes
lol
Yes
If anyone is interested, according to the Hungarian Wikipédia page for the show:
1. 1977 - First season
2. 1979 - Second season
3. 1984 - Third season
4. 1989 - Fourth season
5. 1995 - Fifth season
6. 2002 - Sixth season
7. 2007 - Seventh season
8. 2009 - Season Eight
9. 2011 - Season Nine
And in this Channel, both season 7 and season 8 in the same playlist as season 7, which I get since season 8 is a really short season. It makes sense combining the two. So season 8 (here in the Channel) is actually season 9. But every episode is translated.
Moral of the story: no matter how much you lie and deceive, the truth will always come out.
I’m hungarian and when I was younger I really loved these tales (I still do) but watching those now, they’re a little wierd... 😂
Hát... Beteg egy népség vagyunk az biztos. XD
Emese Fitos hát igen xD
Same lol
Same!
I’m Romanian and I used to watch these as well. I don remember how I found them though
While the witch and her daughter committed despicable acts, it was nice seeing the virtue of the queen and her sons. Despite all they'd suffered they did not want them to be so brutally punished, even if it was deserved. People say the king should be punished but I think he was. The emotional and psychological trauma all that likely caused him. Plus, he clearly wasn't the most moral to begin with if he married her simply so she could give him blond hair'd sons and then sentenced her to death for "failing" to do so.
The Witch, yes, but why the second wife? She didn't do something bad. Chop down trees, burn beds, two lambs. Nothing out of the ordinary that needs a punishment aside from having that witch as a mother. Not death and not even the horrible punishment she got sentenced to.
And nah, he wasn't punished he didn't see what he did was wrong except of "Ops, I didn't mean it. Oh whatever the messenger is gone. Can't send someone else to stop my unnecessary emotional overreaction"
Me too. When you think about it for the king, having to live almost two decades of being manipulated by an evil witch for a wife and being deprived of the original family he wanted sounds like punishment enough.
Nowhere near as brutal as the witch and her daughter, but punishment all the same. He realized how badly he messed up the second he mistakenly tried to off the first wife in a fit of rage and had to live with that guilt for 17 years. I say he's paid his dues
@@ClipOriss no lambs - goat kids.
The queen and her sons were kind and forgiving. If they could beg for their enemies' lighter sentence, of course they forgave the king!
I'm guessing that the two golden boys, either due to their own magic or due to the witch accidentally giving them some of her magic, were turned into shapeshifters. This is how they were able to survive being buried, chopped up, burned, and eaten - so long as one part of them wasn't burned they could escape and take on a new form.
I think they believe in reincarnation so that’s why they just comeback to life in different shapes but same entity
Aw, it’s kinda cute that when the King was delivering his punishment to the Witch and her daughter, the two golden-haired sons clung to their mother. 7:50 That was a cute moment (Except for the deaths tho)
So my question is, in all of their animal and plant incarnations, did the boys just experience the pain of death like 4 times?
Ye
I'm gonna be honest. Your channel is randomly popping up on my RUclips for some odd reason. Just commenting to tell you that.
Yy
This happened to me too
I know, right?
But the stories are interesting
Me too..
And me and I like it 🤗
Anyone else notice the white-haired old King gets back his first wife looks like she hasn't aged a day? If time affected the boys then it should have affected the first Queen too.
On a related note, either the king was way, way, way older than the queen when they married or the time in this story is way off. How did the King get SO old in only 17 years?
He fought in a war, killed his wife (as far as he knows) and regretted doing so, and was unable to have any children with the witch's daughter and thus had no heir (dooming his realm to chaos upon his death). I imagine all of that was stressful.
It wasn't uncommon for older men to marry younger women. There's also a chance that all the stress the witch put him under made him look older then he actually was. As to the youth of the queen, is it really a question worth asking? She survived in the belly of a whale. In the belly... Clearly there was some potent magic going on there. Well, that and the fact that there was a whale living healthily in a lake.
@@RikkuTakanashi Sometimes big seas are called lakes, so a whale living in a "lake" isn't too unbelievable. I agree with everything else you said though.
I'm aware men married girls much younger than themselves was normal. However he's shown looking like a youth and then 17yrs later he's shrunk in height and appears to be in his 70's, stress can age you but not that much. In regard to his first wife, the magic protected them from death too but didn't affect the boys ageing as they didn't turn back into babies when the spell broke. If they grew with time then shouldn't she have done too?
I adore the art style of this series, it's really beautiful but I think the artist made some odd design choices in this episode.
@goodtoby07 I still think it's simply an odd, misjudged design choice on behalf of the artist. The narrator specifically states "the two young princes had been had been buried 17 yrs before and now the two young men were 17".
The King is drawn young right up until when the goats are killed. Shortly after this after the fisherman catches the golden fish which in turn brakes the spell on the boys. The Princes then go straight to the palace and see a suddenly ancient old King. Interestingly the second wife doesn't appear to age either, whereas the king aged a lifetime in 50 - 60yrs a very short time frame.
I kinda feel sorry for the witch's daugther. She didn't carry out the deeds or planned them.
Though she did persuade the king on her mothers behalf.
The King really loved those pear trees.
She’s not a child. She can make her own choices but she chose to follow her mom
How do these people fall in love so quickly?!
Things is simple back then
The king has power and resources. The girl - unlike the other two common girls - realised that her value to the king was not riches but giving him a family and the successful continuation of his bloodline (she is wise and will give wisdom (same golden hair color) to their children)
Just a little observation, but I love how both princes are holding hands while walking into the palace. Really cute!
This story is very similar to one of the Arabian Nights, except that in the Arabic tale, it's the girl's sisters who are jealous and try to kill her children. Also there's something about a talking bird.
yes, I've read that story, the queen's three children are fostered and when they reach adulthood, they try to find a talking bird to seek the truth about who their parents are. the two elder brothers try to reach the bird, but fail and are turned to stone. only the sister succeeds. For their trouble, they also receive a singing tree and a fountain of golden water.
Aaahhh, the Arabian Nights! The only good thing to EVER result from cuckoldery.
It's not then
There’s one very similar to this in Armenian folk as well
@@celticpoet21 That reminds me of Ibong Adarna.
We all know that the real villain is the King
How???
he acted in a moment of anger and regretted it, after fighting a war and losing. i wouldn't call him a villain for having his wife, who gave birth to puppies, killed in a fit of anger. it would be weird if he went home happily and waited for his puppy children to bark 'daddy' at him, and i'm sure that council of his would have demanded it if he didn't say it anyway, and have the woman declared a witch for having puppies.
@Maxivillian Nafula By that logic a soldier who comes back home suspecting his wife cheated on him cause the twins don't look like him/as promised and kills them in rage is acceptable cause he regretted it afterwards. What he did was more than a excusable mistake and could've easily be taken back by sending another messenger after the first one. As it stands, he should take his second wifes place.
@@ClipOriss True the king was a villain so was the witch.
BOTH
Amen
The true queen and her sons were strangely very merciful to their enemies. After everything those two did, they still tried to spare their lives.
The Kings and Princes in some of these stories are really heartless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did the princes do? In the end, the twins begged to give the witch and her daughter mercy.
@@tevalina616 The commenter meant in other stories too, dear. Usually the kings and/or the princes in some or most of the folk tales were heartless, that's what I believe he/she meant.
Nah. They're great. Very reasonable considering the times this originates from. I'm glad he ignored his weakling sons begging for mercy. And his wife too! Who does she think she is trying to manipulate him. Such a great king and leader.
Kiomi Woods The daughter of the witch is only following her mother's orders why the hell is she involved with the cruel punishment
@@GamingTranceSeer I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic right now.
I don't know how I ended up here are RUclips. But I'm loving it
We are all joined in one life form
King: Bring me that blonde girl. I likes me some interesting and she is definitely an interesting one. Probably a seer or witch of some sort
*hears queen gives birth to puppies* Well this isn't what i was expecting she had an affair with a dog!
Servant: Milord...that's not how mating works
King: Too late already in the middle of writing this note!
Not quite The Singing Bone, not quite the Goose Girl, not quite The Girl with No Hands. I am quite pleased that the witch's greed and jealousy were rightly punished at the end.
"And the Royal family lived happily ever after,"
More like..
"And the blonde family lived happily ever after"
Back in the old days people were very superficial, not just in Europe but worldwide. White skin and brighter coloured hair was simply considered pure by every culture, just since that is the way people operated then. A good example is how the Aztecs considered the Spanish to be gods since they originated from the East and had white skin.
Dami If the boys had gold hair I guess there mother was at lest a blonde if not some gold hair goddess
Dami The daughter of the witch is only following her mother's orders why the hell is she involved with the cruel punishment
No, royal.
Why does everyone get so triggered anytime the heroine or protagonist is blonde, it’s such a foolish and ridiculous thing to get upset over... it’s not like anyone thinks non-blondes are evil and unattractive
I liked it how the witch and her daughter were punished horribly. They deserved it.
I'm a Romanian but these tales would be televized in Romania too. I remember watching these so vivdly. They're so fun

No one gonna talk about how the goat is just casually eating wood?
If this is what Hungarian children grew up with
I wish I was Hungarian AF
:) Check out this one "Mátyás király mesék". This one is about our king, Mathias. He often disguised himself as a commoner and mingled with the everyday people (legends, you know :))
(I really hope that you can find it with english subtitles)
I am Hungarian, and i grew up with this. 🙂
Yeah... “happily ever after”, after just sentencing people to be chopped up and displayed all over town.. much happy...
Having the witch and her daughter drawn-and-quartered was the Royal Council's idea.
And this is why Disney avoids hungarian fairy tales like the plauge :'D
Me on the other hand: *is writing fanfics*
SentimentalSkye The daughter of the witch is only following her mother's orders why the hell is she involved with the cruel punishment
The Princess And The Goblin isn't Disney but it's an animated move about a Hungarian fairy tale.
I actually really like how even though they suffered greatly for what those two did to them, they did not want such a harsh punishment for them
It was added intentionally as proof of their purity and innocence.
I love the way the witches daughter randomly faints each time she sees the two boys
But what of the puppies!?!?
Probably killed
First puppies, then baby goats......(sniffle!)
Just sick man!
The witch got what she deserved!
I know right?????
the puppies went with the queen in the whale's belly .... she probably ate them to survive
@@pandalily7160 good night my dear children and sweet dreams
I used to love this show when I was at kindergarten. These stories might be weird to watch as an adult, but it's really good for kids, because they only understand the parts of it that they want to.
What i wonder is: did no one else know about the babies? I mean, the queen didn’t give birth on her own XD there must have been other people present.. 🤔
IKR like what no one helped her give birth or something??
And because in this story nothing goes to waste, the witches meat was turned into delicious taquitos for people to eat. The end.
The animation is so charming and the music is so alluring jesus christ i love it
Wow, astonished I am that how that story of far Hungary is sometimes similiar to India's folk tales Arun Barun Kiranmala, Chand-Kopale-Kumar (The Prince with the sign of glittering moon in his forehead), Laal Kamal and Neel Kamal...
It is interesting how our ancestors thought some same matters, that's why we are the habitat of earth... Our thoughts become similar... Love and form India ❤❤
I love that these are not TO watered down, that’s the way to tell the tales. Subscribed!
The music at the beginning brings back memories from another life😭
Lol these princes incarnated a thousand times in just 17 years .
The fisherman's face when he listens to the story is basically my face when I listens to these hungarian tales. So agressive, so strange, so much missing logic. But this guy's voice is soothing.
Extreme Reincarnation
Man I got to tell you I love mythology from Greek to Aztec and I have read some wired stories but hungerian folk lore sure is right up there with Maori mythology
There's a much different version of this tale where instead of the evil witch switching out the children, she changes the announcement letter to TELL the king his wife had given birth to two puppies. And when he got it, he was sad but responded with "Wait until I get home and we'll decide what to do then." but she altered THAT letter to have the queen killed. I actually love that version because of how kind and reasonable the king is in that one. The queen and her sons ended up hiding out in the woods until the boys were grown, at which point they're eventually reunited.

@@bloomy2121 excuse me- 😳
The animation cracked me up so much in this one.
This is a really precious channel, I'm passionate about old and traditional tales, I really appreciate this work.
The animations are beautifully done and I'd like to thank you for this video!
I find most of these Folk Tales very gruesome this one in particular. But the original, traditional german fairytales I heard are no different in that point.
I learned that the german fairytales got told by low class women working on the spinning wheels just for theyr own entertainment. Also I know that they lifed in much more gruesome times with punishments and death sencences beeing carried out on the streets for everyone to see. Also life was often a struggle for survival. So I never forget to view these fairytales in theyr context.
I like how the king doesn't like or care about his second wife. He won't even sleep in a bed with her. It kinda shows how much he liked his first wife and just kinda married the witch's for the sake of having a queen.
He didn't like his first wife either you weirdo. Literally what kind of brainworms do you have
This is absolutely horrifying. I love it 🥲😍🥰❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
"Their sentence was duely carried out" *cuts to happy music
Hungarian folk tales are so metal
I loved this one. The witch got what she deserved in the end. Am convinced this story has a rich esoteric meaning as well. Keep up the good work!
as well as the Arabian nights, this is similar to a story called "The glass box" from a book called 'magical fairy stories from many lands.' the queen gives birth to two boys and a girl who has a gold star on her forehead. like in the Arabian nights, the queen's sisters are jealous and steal away the babies to be raised by a poor couple, leaving puppies in the cradle in place of the princes and a cat for the girl. the queen is banished and takes the cat with her. she and (unknowingly) her grown children simultaneously seek a talking bird who would tell them all the truth.
I’ve always loved the aesthetic and animation of your videos, they look like the classics 1980 and 1990 cartoons!
The king should have been punished for how he treated his wife. Nobody forced him to do what he did.
I love your channel. Been watching two or three tales per day.
I'm going to have my children watch these tales when I'm a father.
This story sort of reminds me of Edgar Alan poes story..."the tall tale heart." For wherever the witch went...there were remembrance of the two princes she killed.
this channel popped up in my recommended and i dont know why
but now i find myself hooked on watching these from time to time
Animation looks like that of the film Fehérlófia. Which is one of the greatest animated films to come out of Hungary.
It is indeed from the creator of Son of the White Mare, Marcell Jankovics
I love hungarian folk tales! I used to be told similar tales im my childhood. I am bulgarian.

And that allows him to KILL his wife ?
Does that mean he could have killed her if she had given birth to a girl ? Does the Queen's life even matter ?
And the king is rather stupid to believe a woman can actually choose the gender of her baby.
If someone naturally give borth to dogs i would assume they had an affair with something wicked or cursed, or a demon even
*_it's funny how these stories are so related with different culture.. I'm a bengali from bangladesh and we also have similar fairy tale story named "Shat Bhai chompa" (eng: 7 brothers and Champa, the sister) but it has no witch..in the story, the young queen gave birth to 7 boys and a girl.. but other queens were jealous of her (the king had more wives) so they stole the 7 baby boys and buried them.. the babies were replaced by puppies or something else i don't remember..after that they turned into trees.. just like this video, the king also got angry and punished the young queen.. the baby girl (chompa) was safe somehow.. when she grew up she made her tree brothers come back to life.. they also recovered their mom. the king punished the other wives.. and they lived happily ever after.. it's a long story also I don't remember much.. and Sorry for my bad English_*
I feel bad for the daughter of the witch
Don't. She was an accomplice after the fact in her mother's child-murder.

@@LikaLaruku Only accomplices after the fact (i.e someone who helped cover up a murder after it was committed). Otherwise the accomplice receives the same sentence as the head conspirator.

How did the king get so old
Much time had passed by. Even though the queen remained young when she was inside the whale.
he had to have white hair to match his children and wife in the last image
Seventeen years passed. Likewise, fighting in a war war probably very stressful for him.
His guilt of attempting to kill his wife must’ve aged him
acla9000 whales have a thing with keeping things fresh for a long time
This channel is Gold! It randomly popped up on my feed but i liked the stories, the art style and music
All i wanna say is that i admire the artstyle of these videos
I have watched three of these tales. I liked them but I must say, there's something sinister in the stories.
Are we sure the iron toothed woman is the witch, it was the queen and her sons who can survive in whale stomachs, haunt beds, and revive from the dead. Pretty sure the queen is a necromancer.
I liked the plant - vomiting birds in the beginning
they are actualy singing plants :')
My favourite part of this insanity is that the fish pond somehow had a "great whale" living in it.
The puppies!! Unforgivable King!
These princes have mad respawning skills.
Im Hungarian and watching this in English is wired 😂
Same here 😁
Yep
Nice! I loved Pushkin's version so much when I was a child
Fairy tales can get so random and oddly detailed sometimes.
"How should they be punished?"
Oh, feed them to the whale or bury them or something, right?
"Tie them to some horses' tails, drag them through the city, then chop them into pieces and nail up the spread out chunks."
...Or that. All righty then.
That is common punishment in a lot of tales actually
we don't have a sea close, so whales wouldn't come to mind. The sort of punishment with the horses was not unusual in medieval times. For example outlaws body parts were hunging on the gate of the city to scare people away from crime.
Why is this story so brutal
Because it’s from Hungary
I love to listen to fairy tales and your channel is a goldmine! Thank you \o/
