Witches are very common in Hungarian culture and superstitions too. The be the youngest and blonde trope has a reason though. Back in the old days the youngest child never had anything left to them and blonde hair represented purity so the message became more about how you can be poor and unfortunate but you'll make it if you have a good heart.
There is also an Italian version of this one, where the three fairies came out from a cutted orange 😂 I still remember when my grandma used to tell me while sitting on her knee on an armchair...I miss her so much..
Why would breasts be ever gross? They are body parts. Half of the world has them, your mother has them, your sister has them, your daughter will have them or you have them. Do you consider your family members gross?
Lol the prince doesn’t deserve the fairy! He didn’t even recognize her from the witch’s daughter 🥴 And what about the first two fairies he killed with his negligence?? 😭
You would think that after the first time an animal asked him to spare its life, he would have been amazed and would never point a gun at another animal again lol
YamiNoGame Well he has to hunt to eat and for clothing material. Otherwise he’ll become iron deficient, loose a lot of muscle mass and his immune system will become weaker. That’s true even for now. You can’t absorb iron as easily from plants then you can meat. It’s almost impossible. And food supplements won’t do you good either because they’re not meant to replace food. You can’t use victims in substitute for food it isn’t healthy. Food supplements are only to be used for a period of time if your doctor says that you need to be on them for a bit
For those of you wondering about the dark colored witch and etc, the historical context and accuracy of the story is that during the past, the Romani people were seen as evil and thus are portrayed as such and in general in Europe that black was seen as the color of evil just how some African nations see white as signs of ghosts and evil. Doesn’t mean it is right and fair, but historical context means a lot. I would say that the animation is accurate on how people viewed the world back in the day as shown with the obsession of blondes and etc so it is probably better to criticize the stereotypes and beliefs of back then than to assume the animators are racist when they most likely did such to show the reality of what people really did believe back then.
you also forget stereotypes exist for a reason. Someone with white skin in the subsaharan africa would get sicker and die more easely, so it made sense for people to associate it with death and disease (also diseases/death often make you loose color). The same is true with the romani. There is a reason why they are stereotyped as they are, especially since they always make a point not to integrate with the people they travel to, even to the point of having bad names for the non-romani, or feeling like its ok to steal from them. Even now, the rate of break ins get higher when there is an encampment (or a circus) near a town, where i live, and goes down when they inevitably the population chases them away, but its getting harder with the excuse of racism. I dont make a fuss for the stereotypes my people get, since they are true, i will not start to make excuses for bad behaviours of other cultures on some bs politically correct basis.
It is just how white population believe everything black is bad and evil and this is how whites grow their children for generations racism is in their roots
Or depending on when this was made, and since it might’ve been made in Hungaria, the animators could’ve genuinely been racist or Hungaria doesn’t have as tenuous race issues as the US
I remember that my grandfather used to tell me a story similar to this but instead of tree branches the fairy came from walnuts and the witch never had a daughter so she took the place of the fairy herself. And instead of a fish the fairy got turned into a dove
"And the king had the witch and her daughter tied to a horse tail" On the background : *the two of them was drag by a horse and died.* "And they live happily ever after the end" Wow. I love the dark twist
This is a very common element in Hungarian folktales. And it's only the surface. Have you ever heard of this thing called "karóba húzás"? (I'm Hungarian, I don't really know how to translate the word.) It's basically means that they make you sit on a wooden stick and the stick goes into you causing unspeakable pain and death. It's a very common element in our folktales as well. Just for the children, you know. :D
@@trollkienofficial1225 These folktales are not for children, these are all made for adults, of course some child watches it, but the violence in these are only because its all made for adults.
@@oikiwishittykawa556 They are actually made for kids. Kids do not bothered by things like this, they don't even understand it. But as they grow older, they can understand more and more things. So these folktales are mainly made for kids, but that's not exclude the other audiences. For exaple I grew up with these and I do not regret it.
Thank You! I wanted to comment that. This cartoon is Hungarian so the witch and her daughter are probably Romanian since Romanian people were (not really anymore, thank god - this was made in the 70's) often associated with witchcraft and portrayed as being ugly/stupid in Hungarian culture.
I mean i'm pretty sure there's all manner of african demons with white skin. and asian ones that are all hairy and tall with big giant bulging eyes. People just think things different from them are creepy, yknow? That's how having vision works. and hearing. and smell. and especially touch. You get used to differences by spending time around them, not by being separated further by somebody getting all upset by your natural tendency to be surprised and put off by differences.
@@vivisectv The witch and her daughter are supposed to be gypsies not Romanians. It's true that around that time there has been tension between Hungarians and Romanians but come on Romanians are light skinned.
This type of story also appears in Italy. Interestingly, this is one of the few fairytales that appear in all parts of Italy and almost exclusively in Italy. There the fairies come out of the three fruits the prince got on his quest to find a girl "as white as milk, and as red as blood". The most famous prose version is Italo Calvino's "l'amore delle tre melagrane" (the love of the three pomegranates), and there's also a play and an opera called "The love of the three oranges", while the oldest version is Basile's "The three cytruses"
If I was that Hunter guy I would've listened to what that deer said and get a lot of water before i cut off a branch so I could have 3 girlfriends for the price of one
If you think about it...a naked body isn't something sexual per se. Especially for children. So its more innocent than a kiss (wich many kids find gross ^ ^)
I’m i the one who noticed that’s Hungarians folklore stories has too many prince and princesses in its?! The The moral of the story no matter how hard you try to clean your track The truth will be reveal eventually someway or another.
The folk tales in our area are full of kings, princes and princesses; but they are all depicted and act like the villagers. This is country life in fact as rural areas were the cradle of these ancient stories.
I've noticed in a lot of these tales, the animals or people always promise some unspecified good deed they will do and the protagonist just says "Okay" and does what they want.
I know this is four years old but yeah, they should at the very least question it a bit instead of going right ahead, but to be fair the animals DID talk so better to be safe than sorry and do what they want or else there might be a chance that they’re secretly magical beings who’ll curse you.
I see a ton of reoccurring things in these tales: Witches who want their daughter to be a princess/bride, Talking animals, Characters being turned into animals and then eaten/killed, Princes who literally cannot be bothered to question the situation further when they return and their princess/bride looks completely different
I think stories are similar across the globe. Plus, if this was told by word of mouth, the stories would be very long if the characters questioned everything. There always has to be a specific plot, a protagonist/hero, a antagonist/villian, and supporting characters that help the story along. Based off of imagination, it didn't matter if a rabbit, fox, deer or bread oven could talk, as long as it helped the story along. Plus, it's usually good and kind winning over the evil and cruel. ^^
Actually, Wikipedia and IMDb are not clear on when these were actually made. Hungarian Wikipedia seems to indicate they has been animated since 1977 all the way up until 2011.
If you love these tales you should watch more animation from the director and animator who created these ones also. He is called Marcell Jankovics and his work known as the Son of the White Mare were select to the 50 best animation in the world at the film olimpic of Los Angeles. Here is the full version with English sub only, but don't worry. The your son doesn't understand it he will love it without it because of the beautiful animation: ruclips.net/video/Ohv88J2WKsg/видео.html
I see the point of translating folk-tales and spread them to others, but it is a shame they can't understand it because different nations have different cultures, stories and symbol systems. It seem the prince is just dumb and "don't understand" giving them water, BUT every little part of the story and storytelling refers to something, has a symbol and meaning, and that part as well. I have read other comments about 'racist skin colour' stuff and why we have always princesses and princes in our stories, and so many deaths and speaking animals... etc Hungarian folk-tales are not child stories, even if it seems they are. They are carefully built, written and told to teach adults how to live their life, and make the World a better place. It uses complicated symbols and metaphors what people hundreds years ago could understand, but nowadays the mainstream media, Walt Disney movies, Pokemon and other fashionable stuff make them forget. The same symbols, rhythms and steps are also found in Hungarian folk-dance, songs and music. It is a huge, whole carefully made system which is hard to understand those who are not grown-up in this. I am not telling all Hungarians can understand these, because most of this knowledge (sadly) has been forgotten and people don't care about it.
I have been fascinated with cultures all my life. I know that every word, image, and idea has meaning that sometimes gets lost in translation, and I would LOVE to understand what some of those details represent. The youngest child I understand, because that is the one that is often at a disadvantage, having to live in the older siblings' shadows. Royalty probably symbolizes something much more complex than it seems, and I love rabbits so might have my own biased explanation about why they are so significant. I would be very happy to talk to you about these things!
Yeah, but that still doesn't explain why he let the first 2 fairies die Everything you said was that this was meant for ancient people and my stinky modern brain could never possibly understand it
Now I’m just imagining a conversation between the prince and the animals. “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET WATER! HOW WAS THIS BEYOND YOU?!” “WINE IS THE SAME THING AS WATER JUST WITH FLAVOR” “WINE DEHYDRATES! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?!” “IT WAS THE ONLY LIQUID I COULD FIND” “THERES A POND BEHIND YOU! BECAUSE OF YOUR LAZINESS TWO INNOCENT WOMEN ARE DEAD!”
This one was very awkward, but still pretty enjoyable. Btw the witch and her daughter look like they are supposed to be gipsies, which are predominately dark-skinned. Gipsies have been known/stigmatized throughout history to be undesirable, mainly because they were thieves, deceivers and fortune tellers. So it doesn't surprise me one bit that the bad character in this tale is illustrated as both a witch and looks like a spawn of an oak tree. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out either, you just got to look at the context of the story and examine history, two things that people don't bother with because they prefer to cater to their own political views about racism and because it's easier for them to label things as such.
Oh, I knew the witch and her daughter were meant to be portrayals of European gypsies. I'm always wary of jumping to a knee jerk use of the "R" word. However, cultural and historical context aside, it's still not at all a depiction in good taste...
Why does it have to be a depiction in good taste? Sometimes the truth is not at all pretty, nor does it have to be. If you mean as in a joke the point of the story nor the cartoon is not to make anyone laugh but to tell a tale and teach a moral, like most Folktales. If you mean the particular style of the animators and cartoonist then why are you not complaining about how deformed everyone looks too? And besides that's personal preference, I actually happen to like it. If you mean why the bad guy has to be depicted as a brown character well then yeah you are essentially saying without actually saying that this illustration is racist. And you can't just separate the cultural and historical context from the story or the depiction itself just so you can safely elude to that because they are inalienably intertwined, as most if not all Folktales originate and are further expanded from the very traditions and cultural norms of a society, no matter what those are (in this case, Hungary) The gipsies and the Hungarians have a long history together, much of which is not good. Many of them settled in Hungary for generations and the Hungarians have never been happy about that. In the end, they became part of Hungary's history and culture, so it doesn't surprise me one bit that Kecskemét Film Studio made a few characters look like them in their cartoons. If anything I'm actually surprised they didn't add more characters like them on their folktales but I haven't seen enough yet to make a full judgement. While on that topic, look at all the other cartoons made by them, it's not as if all the bad guys are gipsies. Most of them look like anybody else in the story, just uglier, fatter or more menacing. Is that in poor taste too?
It doesn't at all HAVE to be a tasteful depiction. I don't remember expressly saying that it did. The creators-- you say Kecskemét Film Studio-- ought to be free to take whatever creative liberties they see fit in animating and telling these stories. I myself don't support the idea of filtering or censoring ideas, opinions or works in any medium simply because of their potential to offend certain groups. I'm no snowflake, and to be frank, I rather dislike people who are. This is why I never directly stated that the depiction was racist. "Racist" is an overused term which I myself do not use carelessly or lazily. I agree that the truth is not always easy to accept. There is a reason stereotypes exist: because there is frequently more than just a grain of truth to them. This can be true about negative stereotypes surrounding gypsies. You don't need to "educate" me about Europe's Romani diaspora. I'm well ware of Europe's history with these people, and the many reasons Europeans historically regarded them unfavourably. As such, it was clear to me immediately that the witch and her daughter were meant to be portrayals of gypsies and rationally, I could kind of understand the reasons the Hungarian creators made this decision. All the same, dark skin and dark features are often used as an aesthetic and cultural shorthand for "bad", "evil", or otherwise undesirable. It isn't necessarily "racist" to make use of this shorthand-- that is, having a "black" villain is not inherently racist per se. Nevertheless, such portrayals are at best, lazy, and at worst, have the REAL potential to propagate and perpetuate harmful notions in society. People see the character and her dark skin, and quickly recognize the "dark = bad" formula. While this literary device does make it easy to identify her right away as the story's villain (which makes sense for a cartoon that is only 10 minutes long and needs to convey its ideas quickly), I still find it to be lazy and crass. This is why I called it "tasteless" not "racist". Because, honestly, it IS tasteless and felt like a bit of a cop out.
I love Hungarian folktales bc they are so much sweeter than what I grew up with. I grew up with the old fashioned German folktales that my mother decided to tell me before bed, and then I had nightmares :)
Eu sempre imaginava as mulheres dessa história como roxas pq na época eu não sabia o que "nua" significava

I know this story as a Portuguese/Spanish tale called "A moura torta". In this tale, a king has 3 sons and gives them watermelons (or oranges) and the instructions to never open the fruit without water or milk.
To be honest, im not really suprised why they are tide in a horse's tail since ive been binge watching hungarian tale before, and i literally notice that half of the stories *always* include a antagonist witch and her daughter being tide by a horse's tail at the end.
In fact, in some folk tales, the motifs of evil witches and the punishment of villains by hanging them on the tails of horses are established.😊😊❤❤❤ I'm not Hungarian, but I've been following these series for a long time (since I was five or six, and finding these series on RUclips brings back memories) and it happened often.😊😊😊❤❤❤
Okay, so there is a lots of comments about the tale being racist. I partly agree, but I think you need some cultural knowledge to understand why did they portrayed the evil characters this way. The witch is portrayed as a gypsy or romani woman, because they were known for practising magic and fortune telling at that time. And yes people are afraid of things they don't understand, no it was not a good choice from the animator to portray the evils this way. But there many positive Hungarian folk tales about gypsys, so don't judge only watching this one.
@UCXkwsWdxUtljKreb9EiVaWw Actually dark and grey skin was in mythology of Slavic countries and Hungary associated with demons, evil, night, darkness. It is just how it is.
@@seronymus Searching whites are less violent and more intelligent but they took black people as slaves and treated us like crap because we had dark skin but they're not violent? OK!
There seems to be a recurring theme of doing kind deeds in anticipation of reward. Also, the part about tying the witches to a horse's tail just sounds like a nice way of saying drawn and quartered.
Hungarian Gypsies were despised and abused and largely exterminated by the Nazis. Gypsies are dark-haired and dark-eyed, but not as black as the witch is depicted in this story. This story makes the two gypsies villains, the only villains, which makes the story racist.
These stories actually have deep meaning. This one is about becoming a man. The guy was not ready for a relationship in the first two cases, he wasn't serious enough, that's why he couldn't get the first two faires.
The fact that the witch and her daughter are wearing traditional romanian clothes and should probably portray romanians makes me, a romanian, sad (hungarians and romanians have hated each other for centuries but I thought we'd be over that) Still, I like these fairytales :)
@@vilistarlight10 well they did say romani which is the official name for gypsies. And it may be a bad call for the witches to be gypsies by today's standards, but given the context of the eras this tales originate from, it makes sense. People were scared by newcomers that came from an unknown country and that practiced black magic often.
@Sneg You're right lol. I don't live in a part of America ware a lot of them do. But, let's say you never meat a black person, or an openly gay person and you google if N***** or f** is a slur. A lot of the results from those groups say yes, so even though there are black and gay folks that use it for themselves out there with the information that you have and the background that your not apart of that culture, not using the word to describe them sounds like the right thing to do.
Different renditions of this story resembles the stories i was told as a child!!!! im amazed how that came to be concidering the fact that im from a small state in North-east India , Mizoram.....parts of this story resemble a lot of the stories i was told...
Hello. I am very happy for translate this Hungarian tale to Turkish, my native language. It was really nice to seeing the similar elements of two cultures in details. Greetings from Turkey! :)
To clear up some stuff about the character design choices: These folk tales have been there for more than 500 years in our culture. Only the last centuries they were finally documented since they were told from person to person so they constantly changed. In those times people associated witchcraft with Romani (not Romanians, they weren't even a thing back then) and thus put that element in their stories. When this was animated around 2007 I would say (this series has been running for a while now, from 1977 until 2012) they were mostly focusing on how the characters were described in the era these fairytales came from. Hungarian culture I admit can be very racist, but in our eyes being true o the original material is more important than being politically correct. I think the confusion really comes from the fact that these series were originally made for Hungarians and not Americans, other cultures, because to us this is normal portrayal. Nobody really thought about how the characters look actually. I grew up with these and never got "affected", but that might just be me.
Miről hablatyolsz itt? A magyar kultúra rasszista? Te vagy hülye, meg az anyukád, hogy megszült. Csak közölném veled, hogy magyar regényben nem szerepel az benne, hogyha egy fehér találkozik egy feketével egy szigeten, akkor egyből arra gondol, hogy lehetne a rabszolgája, hanem az angolban(Robinson Cruiso). Nem is Magyarországról indult ki a rasszizmus, itt volt először Európában vallásszabadság(Erdélyi Fejedelemség, amit aztán elloptak tőlünk), úgyhogy hagyjuk ez a faszságot, hogy a magyarok neonácik gyülekezete. Persze, mondják ezt azok, akik rabszolgát tartottak, gyarmatosították a világot , kiírtották kompletten az indiánokat és a mai napig úgy alakítják ki a gazdasági érdekeiket, hogy a gyengébb gazdaságú országokat kizsigereljék azzal, hogy megveszik az olcsó alapanyagokat, amiket ők feldolgoznak és ötször annyiért eladják nekünk. Meg mondják azok, akik szobrokat döntenek le arra hivatkozva, hogy felvilágosultak és nem rasszisták. Hát persze... Csak közben azok az álszent cégek, akik az élükre állnak, ugyanolyanok, mint akiknek a szobrát most kétszáz év múlva ledöntik, de a mostani nagy vezéreiknek is szobrokat emelnek. Miért? Miért???? Hogy kétszáz év múlva ismét ledöntsék őket? Mert ők meg gyerekmunkát és rabszolgamunkát is végeztetnek az emberekkel az indiai, kínai és afrikai országokban olcsó munkaerő címen. Ennek ellenérő, nagyban hírdeti magát a Coca Cola, a Microsolft meg az összes többi kis genyó, hogy mekkora píszik. Hát kurvára, mondhatom.
Its not racist. You're just to immature to not see it. In European folklores, the color black and brown was often seen as being represented as evil just like white is seen as evil and a bad omen in many African tribal folklore. Grow up.
This is at least the second Hungarian folk tale to involve tying a witch and her daughter to a horse's tail and dragging them around, possibly to death.
in many folk takes from the way past, the “bad guys” do get what they deserve. for instance, in the original Cinderella the step sisters and mother are very mean and nasty to Cinderella. when the glass slipper is brought for them to try on, one cuts off her toe and the other her heel to fit into the shoe. when Cinderella and The Prince are married they are punished, not forgiven! in one version they are put into barrels with nails hammered through them and run through the streets by horses. the old fairy tales were not goody goodies like we’ve made them now. after all, the three little pigs put a big cauldron of boiling water in the fire place for the wolf to fall into - like “yowch”.
I love hearing these stories. I've been following for awhile. but this one bothered me. I can deal with the dated stories. but nowhere did it mention that the villains of the story need have dark skin. did they really have to be animated at such?
Smh, you're so immature. Black and brown are colors often used to despict evil in European folklore and mythology just like many African people consider white to be a bad omen or evil. If you're not mature enough to listen to these stories without crying about our 21st century BS then don't listen to them.
I like this kind of videos. And I don't understand why is everyone complaining about those dark evil figures. You guys are doing amazing work without the influence of political correctness, so keep on doing what you are doing.

"But still she went and died" Wow. The audacity of that fairy, drinking all his wine and then having the nerve to die! Some people...
😂😂😂😂
the wine was so good, she died of bliss.
Wine contains water, too, just like what the other fairies needed! How selfish of her!
Some people are such divas! Did she want a foot rest and some caviar with that water too??

-listen to animals
-have an enemy
-repeat every line 3 times
-have someone be a witch
-include a daughter
Edit: k you guys wanted me to add blonde and pretty too so here.

Gotta be blonde and pretty
Witches are very common in Hungarian culture and superstitions too. The be the youngest and blonde trope has a reason though. Back in the old days the youngest child never had anything left to them and blonde hair represented purity so the message became more about how you can be poor and unfortunate but you'll make it if you have a good heart.
And be the youngest

This is in Hungary now come on.
Yeah, almost all of our folktales have talking animals, it's not that unusual.

I like how the Rabbit looks concerned anytime he looks at the Prince.
Well seeing how the Prince managed to fail saving the fairies 2 out of 3 times for not following simple instructions, the rabbit should be concerned.
Lol the prince doesn’t deserve the fairy! He didn’t even recognize her from the witch’s daughter 🥴 And what about the first two fairies he killed with his negligence?? 😭
About the other two fairies, I don’t really think it was negligence, he tried his best. But ye he didn’t deserve the fairy.
first 2 fairy were killed because it would instill wrong christian morality of 1 marriage law.
That story where some guy killed two unsuspecting dryads
The kill count on this man, didn't even need to use his gun
@Drab Bard It's also more precise since those fairies are tree nymphs.
You would think that after the first time an animal asked him to spare its life, he would have been amazed and would never point a gun at another animal again lol
Apparently, not all animals in the tales can speak or are magical, otherwise they wouldn't be special to begin with.

Well he has to hunt to eat and for clothing material. Otherwise he’ll become iron deficient, loose a lot of muscle mass and his immune system will become weaker. That’s true even for now.

@HoneyedHylian oh those eyes
For those of you wondering about the dark colored witch and etc, the historical context and accuracy of the story is that during the past, the Romani people were seen as evil and thus are portrayed as such and in general in Europe that black was seen as the color of evil just how some African nations see white as signs of ghosts and evil. Doesn’t mean it is right and fair, but historical context means a lot. I would say that the animation is accurate on how people viewed the world back in the day as shown with the obsession of blondes and etc so it is probably better to criticize the stereotypes and beliefs of back then than to assume the animators are racist when they most likely did such to show the reality of what people really did believe back then.
you also forget stereotypes exist for a reason. Someone with white skin in the subsaharan africa would get sicker and die more easely, so it made sense for people to associate it with death and disease (also diseases/death often make you loose color).
The same is true with the romani. There is a reason why they are stereotyped as they are, especially since they always make a point not to integrate with the people they travel to, even to the point of having bad names for the non-romani, or feeling like its ok to steal from them. Even now, the rate of break ins get higher when there is an encampment (or a circus) near a town, where i live, and goes down when they inevitably the population chases them away, but its getting harder with the excuse of racism.
I dont make a fuss for the stereotypes my people get, since they are true, i will not start to make excuses for bad behaviours of other cultures on some bs politically correct basis.
It is just how white population believe everything black is bad and evil and this is how whites grow their children for generations racism is in their roots
Just in the past? Are you sure?
Or depending on when this was made, and since it might’ve been made in Hungaria, the animators could’ve genuinely been racist or Hungaria doesn’t have as tenuous race issues as the US
That would be the Tzigane, not the Romani.
Dude don’t know what water is
The tree designs are beautiful, and I like the opening of this series.
Bird at the start passes by you when he is starting the video
I remember that my grandfather used to tell me a story similar to this but instead of tree branches the fairy came from walnuts and the witch never had a daughter so she took the place of the fairy herself. And instead of a fish the fairy got turned into a dove
There is another version of this story, where the prince cuts down 3 pieces of reed and the princesses are inside them.
I heard this same version of the story before!
And theres another version of this story where prince cuts lemons and she becames a girl
There is another version of this story where the prince never actually goes hunting so nothing really happens
Sıla Yıldırım In the version I heard also had that detail.
“By the way, have you seen my two sisters, they were also cursed by the tree?” “Uuuuuummmm” lol
"I spilled water I meant to give to the first one, and I gave the second one wine."
"And the king had the witch and her daughter tied to a horse tail"
On the background : *the two of them was drag by a horse and died.*
"And they live happily ever after the end"
Wow. I love the dark twist
Where did it say that they died?
@@ironymatt it's even worse that they didn't die because they will be hurt badly...
This is a very common element in Hungarian folktales. And it's only the surface. Have you ever heard of this thing called "karóba húzás"? (I'm Hungarian, I don't really know how to translate the word.) It's basically means that they make you sit on a wooden stick and the stick goes into you causing unspeakable pain and death. It's a very common element in our folktales as well. Just for the children, you know. :D
@@trollkienofficial1225 These folktales are not for children, these are all made for adults, of course some child watches it, but the violence in these are only because its all made for adults.
@@oikiwishittykawa556 They are actually made for kids. Kids do not bothered by things like this, they don't even understand it. But as they grow older, they can understand more and more things. So these folktales are mainly made for kids, but that's not exclude the other audiences.
For exaple I grew up with these and I do not regret it.
what is up with the wicked characters having dark skin???
Thank You! I wanted to comment that. This cartoon is Hungarian so the witch and her daughter are probably Romanian since Romanian people were (not really anymore, thank god - this was made in the 70's) often associated with witchcraft and portrayed as being ugly/stupid in Hungarian culture.
They are probably meant to be gipsies. The witch wears gipsy clothes as well. You can see the connection if you think of gipsy clairvoyants.
I mean i'm pretty sure there's all manner of african demons with white skin. and asian ones that are all hairy and tall with big giant bulging eyes. People just think things different from them are creepy, yknow? That's how having vision works. and hearing. and smell. and especially touch.
You get used to differences by spending time around them, not by being separated further by somebody getting all upset by your natural tendency to be surprised and put off by differences.
@@vivisectv The witch and her daughter are supposed to be gypsies not Romanians. It's true that around that time there has been tension between Hungarians and Romanians but come on Romanians are light skinned.
@@mousecrittercake They are gypsies not Romanian.
This type of story also appears in Italy. Interestingly, this is one of the few fairytales that appear in all parts of Italy and almost exclusively in Italy. There the fairies come out of the three fruits the prince got on his quest to find a girl "as white as milk, and as red as blood". The most famous prose version is Italo Calvino's "l'amore delle tre melagrane" (the love of the three pomegranates), and there's also a play and an opera called "The love of the three oranges", while the oldest version is Basile's "The three cytruses"
If I was that Hunter guy I would've listened to what that deer said and get a lot of water before i cut off a branch so I could have 3 girlfriends for the price of one

3:17 So they show a naked woman but blot out a kiss? Strange priorities these folks have got.
QueenBoadicea she said that she was wearing fairy clothes.
If you think about it...a naked body isn't something sexual per se. Especially for children. So its more innocent than a kiss (wich many kids find gross ^ ^)
Being naked isn't sexual showing it in a vulgar way is....
Ohh, if you keep watching these stories, you will see more naked people :D . It was pretty usual in these cartoons.
QueenBoadicea there not really naked there covered with leaves
The fairy turns into Gordon Ramsay
“WHERES THE WATER” he screamed
The hunter only had lamb sauce so Gordon died

I’m i the one who noticed that’s Hungarians folklore stories has too many prince and princesses in its?! The The moral of the story no matter how hard you try to clean your track The truth will be reveal eventually someway or another.
The folk tales in our area are full of kings, princes and princesses; but they are all depicted and act like the villagers. This is country life in fact as rural areas were the cradle of these ancient stories.
There's no such thing as too many prince and princess stories
I've noticed in a lot of these tales, the animals or people always promise some unspecified good deed they will do and the protagonist just says "Okay" and does what they want.
I know this is four years old but yeah, they should at the very least question it a bit instead of going right ahead, but to be fair the animals DID talk so better to be safe than sorry and do what they want or else there might be a chance that they’re secretly magical beings who’ll curse you.
I see a ton of reoccurring things in these tales:
Witches who want their daughter to be a princess/bride,
Talking animals,
Characters being turned into animals and then eaten/killed,
Princes who literally cannot be bothered to question the situation further when they return and their princess/bride looks completely different
I think stories are similar across the globe. Plus, if this was told by word of mouth, the stories would be very long if the characters questioned everything. There always has to be a specific plot, a protagonist/hero, a antagonist/villian, and supporting characters that help the story along. Based off of imagination, it didn't matter if a rabbit, fox, deer or bread oven could talk, as long as it helped the story along. Plus, it's usually good and kind winning over the evil and cruel. ^^
Dont forget the darker skin or hair are uglier or more evil and the lighter the better
Fox: she needs water.
Man: wine is just red water.
😂😂😂😂😂 fr lmao
And that is how you know this is an authentic hungarian folk tale :D
Fairies are allergic to alcohol I guess
I've had communion wine and It felt like drinking gasoline. YUCK!
Please consider that the production for most of these animations were in the late 70's.
oh i didnt know that
Really? The animation is great!
Actually, Wikipedia and IMDb are not clear on when these were actually made. Hungarian Wikipedia seems to indicate they has been animated since 1977 all the way up until 2011.
But I have seen very similar things from Soyuzmultfilm, so I don't blame you from thinking otherwise.
seronymus boy if you don't shut your Ben "snowflake" Sharpe headass up
"the prince had a flask of wine" bro doesn't know what water is 💀
as a hungarian i can confirm that the 78% of liquid we drink is imbued with alcohol
Love these stories. It feels like a bedtime story at night. I enjoy listening to them and they help me fall asleep
That death....very dark. Tying them to a horse as it runs...
They didn't die, it was a punisment. The person didn't die just hurt a lot
Thought that was super creepy lol
Yeah, this hungarians... They're kind of intense people aren't they?
@Mullerornis that happened in 2014?
@Mullerornis oh I didn't know
the first two died in seconds but the last one simply REFUSED TO DIE
My son and I love these, I only wish there were more! The artwork is always stunning
If you love these tales you should watch more animation from the director and animator who created these ones also. He is called Marcell Jankovics and his work known as the Son of the White Mare were select to the 50 best animation in the world at the film olimpic of Los Angeles. Here is the full version with English sub only, but don't worry. The your son doesn't understand it he will love it without it because of the beautiful animation: ruclips.net/video/Ohv88J2WKsg/видео.html
I see the point of translating folk-tales and spread them to others, but it is a shame they can't understand it because different nations have different cultures, stories and symbol systems. It seem the prince is just dumb and "don't understand" giving them water, BUT every little part of the story and storytelling refers to something, has a symbol and meaning, and that part as well.
I have read other comments about 'racist skin colour' stuff and why we have always princesses and princes in our stories, and so many deaths and speaking animals... etc Hungarian folk-tales are not child stories, even if it seems they are. They are carefully built, written and told to teach adults how to live their life, and make the World a better place. It uses complicated symbols and metaphors what people hundreds years ago could understand, but nowadays the mainstream media, Walt Disney movies, Pokemon and other fashionable stuff make them forget.
The same symbols, rhythms and steps are also found in Hungarian folk-dance, songs and music. It is a huge, whole carefully made system which is hard to understand those who are not grown-up in this. I am not telling all Hungarians can understand these, because most of this knowledge (sadly) has been forgotten and people don't care about it.
@lara oz me too ❤️
Exactly! Tales were meant to entertain adults those days, so here we are, watching it on RUclips.
I have been fascinated with cultures all my life. I know that every word, image, and idea has meaning that sometimes gets lost in translation, and I would LOVE to understand what some of those details represent. The youngest child I understand, because that is the one that is often at a disadvantage, having to live in the older siblings' shadows. Royalty probably symbolizes something much more complex than it seems, and I love rabbits so might have my own biased explanation about why they are so significant. I would be very happy to talk to you about these things!
Yeah, but that still doesn't explain why he let the first 2 fairies die
Everything you said was that this was meant for ancient people and my stinky modern brain could never possibly understand it
Why does your culture associate black skin with evilness and ugliness?
Now I’m just imagining a conversation between the prince and the animals. “YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO GET WATER! HOW WAS THIS BEYOND YOU?!” “WINE IS THE SAME THING AS WATER JUST WITH FLAVOR” “WINE DEHYDRATES! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS?!” “IT WAS THE ONLY LIQUID I COULD FIND” “THERES A POND BEHIND YOU! BECAUSE OF YOUR LAZINESS TWO INNOCENT WOMEN ARE DEAD!”
I love folk tales from different countries
Me too!
I like the part when the girl saves the fairy and wasn't jealous of her or smh. All women should be like that and helping each other
This one was very awkward, but still pretty enjoyable. Btw the witch and her daughter look like they are supposed to be gipsies, which are predominately dark-skinned. Gipsies have been known/stigmatized throughout history to be undesirable, mainly because they were thieves, deceivers and fortune tellers. So it doesn't surprise me one bit that the bad character in this tale is illustrated as both a witch and looks like a spawn of an oak tree.
It doesn't take a genius to figure this out either, you just got to look at the context of the story and examine history, two things that people don't bother with because they prefer to cater to their own political views about racism and because it's easier for them to label things as such.
it is racism
Kristina Martines what exactly is?
Oh, I knew the witch and her daughter were meant to be portrayals of European gypsies. I'm always wary of jumping to a knee jerk use of the "R" word. However, cultural and historical context aside, it's still not at all a depiction in good taste...
Why does it have to be a depiction in good taste? Sometimes the truth is not at all pretty, nor does it have to be. If you mean as in a joke the point of the story nor the cartoon is not to make anyone laugh but to tell a tale and teach a moral, like most Folktales. If you mean the particular style of the animators and cartoonist then why are you not complaining about how deformed everyone looks too? And besides that's personal preference, I actually happen to like it. If you mean why the bad guy has to be depicted as a brown character well then yeah you are essentially saying without actually saying that this illustration is racist. And you can't just separate the cultural and historical context from the story or the depiction itself just so you can safely elude to that because they are inalienably intertwined, as most if not all Folktales originate and are further expanded from the very traditions and cultural norms of a society, no matter what those are (in this case, Hungary)
The gipsies and the Hungarians have a long history together, much of which is not good. Many of them settled in Hungary for generations and the Hungarians have never been happy about that. In the end, they became part of Hungary's history and culture, so it doesn't surprise me one bit that Kecskemét Film Studio made a few characters look like them in their cartoons. If anything I'm actually surprised they didn't add more characters like them on their folktales but I haven't seen enough yet to make a full judgement.
While on that topic, look at all the other cartoons made by them, it's not as if all the bad guys are gipsies. Most of them look like anybody else in the story, just uglier, fatter or more menacing. Is that in poor taste too?
It doesn't at all HAVE to be a tasteful depiction. I don't remember expressly saying that it did. The creators-- you say Kecskemét Film Studio-- ought to be free to take whatever creative liberties they see fit in animating and telling these stories. I myself don't support the idea of filtering or censoring ideas, opinions or works in any medium simply because of their potential to offend certain groups. I'm no snowflake, and to be frank, I rather dislike people who are. This is why I never directly stated that the depiction was racist. "Racist" is an overused term which I myself do not use carelessly or lazily. I agree that the truth is not always easy to accept. There is a reason stereotypes exist: because there is frequently more than just a grain of truth to them. This can be true about negative stereotypes surrounding gypsies. You don't need to "educate" me about Europe's Romani diaspora. I'm well ware of Europe's history with these people, and the many reasons Europeans historically regarded them unfavourably. As such, it was clear to me immediately that the witch and her daughter were meant to be portrayals of gypsies and rationally, I could kind of understand the reasons the Hungarian creators made this decision. All the same, dark skin and dark features are often used as an aesthetic and cultural shorthand for "bad", "evil", or otherwise undesirable. It isn't necessarily "racist" to make use of this shorthand-- that is, having a "black" villain is not inherently racist per se. Nevertheless, such portrayals are at best, lazy, and at worst, have the REAL potential to propagate and perpetuate harmful notions in society. People see the character and her dark skin, and quickly recognize the "dark = bad" formula. While this literary device does make it easy to identify her right away as the story's villain (which makes sense for a cartoon that is only 10 minutes long and needs to convey its ideas quickly), I still find it to be lazy and crass. This is why I called it "tasteless" not "racist". Because, honestly, it IS tasteless and felt like a bit of a cop out.
i love this channel so much. i wish there was such a channel for the folk tales of every culture
it really is one of the best hidden gems.
I love Hungarian folktales bc they are so much sweeter than what I grew up with. I grew up with the old fashioned German folktales that my mother decided to tell me before bed, and then I had nightmares :)

Marcio Roberto Thx from Hungarian
Chocolate chan :3 it's a pleasure!
That's right! :)
Eu sempre imaginava as mulheres dessa história como roxas pq na época eu não sabia o que "nua" significava
I know this story as a Portuguese/Spanish tale called "A moura torta". In this tale, a king has 3 sons and gives them watermelons (or oranges) and the instructions to never open the fruit without water or milk.
Tied to a horse...
Wait a minute. That's brutal!!
To be honest, im not really suprised why they are tide in a horse's tail since ive been binge watching hungarian tale before, and i literally notice that half of the stories *always* include a antagonist witch and her daughter being tide by a horse's tail at the end.
In fact, in some folk tales, the motifs of evil witches and the punishment of villains by hanging them on the tails of horses are established.😊😊❤❤❤
I'm not Hungarian, but I've been following these series for a long time (since I was five or six, and finding these series on RUclips brings back memories) and it happened often.😊😊😊❤❤❤
For some reason, I'm strangely addicted to these stories
HELP!!!😣😣😣😣😣😣😣
That last scene of the couple cuddling with the witch and her daughter bouncing along in the background...
😂/😲
The trees look so beautiful
It reminds me of The Goose Girl or of East of the Sun, West of the Moon. Only this time, it is the girl that is the divine creature.
Okay, so there is a lots of comments about the tale being racist. I partly agree, but I think you need some cultural knowledge to understand why did they portrayed the evil characters this way. The witch is portrayed as a gypsy or romani woman, because they were known for practising magic and fortune telling at that time. And yes people are afraid of things they don't understand, no it was not a good choice from the animator to portray the evils this way. But there many positive Hungarian folk tales about gypsys, so don't judge only watching this one.
In old Slavic tales and myths dark skin was considered demonic. Evil characters often have dark or grey skin.
@UCXkwsWdxUtljKreb9EiVaWw Actually dark and grey skin was in mythology of
Slavic countries and Hungary associated with demons, evil, night, darkness. It is just how it is.
Evil and Good people comes in differents size, shape, age, race and colour.
@@seronymus Searching whites are less violent and more intelligent but they took black people as slaves and treated us like crap because we had dark skin but they're not violent? OK!
mrjm knyvs it is still being racist it is no excuse. It’s interesting to know details.
I have seen some of videos from this channel and this is my favourite, how beautiful the fairy is.
It’s funny because “the green king” is actually an emperor. The kings that have color names belong to the Romanian culture
Beautiful animation! Wonderful story telling.
Rhiannon Oliver Thx from Hungarian :)
Then she asked “where are my sisters?”
And he replied “it is your destiny, child, that only you be Queen Baeee” 🤣😂
There seems to be a recurring theme of doing kind deeds in anticipation of reward.
Also, the part about tying the witches to a horse's tail just sounds like a nice way of saying drawn and quartered.
It was a thing itself
Hungarian Gypsies were despised and abused and largely exterminated by the Nazis. Gypsies are dark-haired and dark-eyed, but not as black as the witch is depicted in this story. This story makes the two gypsies villains, the only villains, which makes the story racist.
These stories actually have deep meaning. This one is about becoming a man. The guy was not ready for a relationship in the first two cases, he wasn't serious enough, that's why he couldn't get the first two faires.
Fairies being killed left and right 😭
The fact that the witch and her daughter are wearing traditional romanian clothes and should probably portray romanians makes me, a romanian, sad (hungarians and romanians have hated each other for centuries but I thought we'd be over that)
Still, I like these fairytales :)
I am pretty sure they might be gypsies
This one has a lot of plot twists
The Prince isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer..
The Sun was unfairly accused and hid 😂🤣😂🤣
The story is charming but illustrating the wich and her daughter as Romani people is a.....bad call, to say the least.
gypsies, not Romanian, we don't hate romanians THAT much
@@vilistarlight10 well they did say romani which is the official name for gypsies.
And it may be a bad call for the witches to be gypsies by today's standards, but given the context of the eras this tales originate from, it makes sense. People were scared by newcomers that came from an unknown country and that practiced black magic often.
@@vilistarlight10 I heard Gypsy is a slur that they don't appreciate, it looks like a lot of sources back it up.
@Sneg You're right lol. I don't live in a part of America ware a lot of them do. But, let's say you never meat a black person, or an openly gay person and you google if N***** or f** is a slur. A lot of the results from those groups say yes, so even though there are black and gay folks that use it for themselves out there with the information that you have and the background that your not apart of that culture, not using the word to describe them sounds like the right thing to do.
@Sneg You're an idiot and I wish you the best in your future endeavors 😂
Accidentally killed one girl and decided to try again. Didnt stopped at two. WOW.
We have a very similar tale in Italy, it's called "le tre melarance"
How can it be that there are soooo many folk tales in Hungary?

@@emrebuzmavisi No sane person in Hungary believes that. We are not brothers. We are not related IN ANY WAY. Go away and don't come to Hungary.
To clear up some stuff about the character design choices: These folk tales have been there for more than 500 years in our culture. Only the last centuries they were finally documented since they were told from person to person so they constantly changed. In those times people associated witchcraft with Romani (not Romanians, they weren't even a thing back then) and thus put that element in their stories. When this was animated around 2007 I would say (this series has been running for a while now, from 1977 until 2012) they were mostly focusing on how the characters were described in the era these fairytales came from. Hungarian culture I admit can be very racist, but in our eyes being true o the original material is more important than being politically correct. I think the confusion really comes from the fact that these series were originally made for Hungarians and not Americans, other cultures, because to us this is normal portrayal. Nobody really thought about how the characters look actually. I grew up with these and never got "affected", but that might just be me.
Miről hablatyolsz itt? A magyar kultúra rasszista? Te vagy hülye, meg az anyukád, hogy megszült. Csak közölném veled, hogy magyar regényben nem szerepel az benne, hogyha egy fehér találkozik egy feketével egy szigeten, akkor egyből arra gondol, hogy lehetne a rabszolgája, hanem az angolban(Robinson Cruiso). Nem is Magyarországról indult ki a rasszizmus, itt volt először Európában vallásszabadság(Erdélyi Fejedelemség, amit aztán elloptak tőlünk), úgyhogy hagyjuk ez a faszságot, hogy a magyarok neonácik gyülekezete. Persze, mondják ezt azok, akik rabszolgát tartottak, gyarmatosították a világot , kiírtották kompletten az indiánokat és a mai napig úgy alakítják ki a gazdasági érdekeiket, hogy a gyengébb gazdaságú országokat kizsigereljék azzal, hogy megveszik az olcsó alapanyagokat, amiket ők feldolgoznak és ötször annyiért eladják nekünk. Meg mondják azok, akik szobrokat döntenek le arra hivatkozva, hogy felvilágosultak és nem rasszisták. Hát persze... Csak közben azok az álszent cégek, akik az élükre állnak, ugyanolyanok, mint akiknek a szobrát most kétszáz év múlva ledöntik, de a mostani nagy vezéreiknek is szobrokat emelnek. Miért? Miért???? Hogy kétszáz év múlva ismét ledöntsék őket? Mert ők meg gyerekmunkát és rabszolgamunkát is végeztetnek az emberekkel az indiai, kínai és afrikai országokban olcsó munkaerő címen. Ennek ellenérő, nagyban hírdeti magát a Coca Cola, a Microsolft meg az összes többi kis genyó, hogy mekkora píszik. Hát kurvára, mondhatom.
The animation is 🔥!
This fairytale kinda reminds me of “The Swan Lake.”
Bro the racism JAJJAJAJAJ
Its not racist. You're just to immature to not see it. In European folklores, the color black and brown was often seen as being represented as evil just like white is seen as evil and a bad omen in many African tribal folklore. Grow up.
that rabbit's the best wingman. He made sure to give the water himself hahahhaa....
Such beautiful illustrations! Are they by Reich Karoly or inspired by him? I love this series!
"I cannot come to your palace wearing fairy clothes." Girl, you're wearing clothes!
Anyone else reminded of the Erutan song, "The Willow Maid"? Bet she took partial inspiration from either this story or a similar one
There's a lot of similarities between this tale and the tale of the two princes. Hungarians really like motifs of destruction and transformation
Fairy: "Btw, you've killed my two sisters. Blood for blood!" And then the fairy killed the king. Revenge is sweet. The End....
To be honest, I felt bad for the daughter who was being control by her mother.
This reminds me of "The Two Princes With Golden Hair".
This is at least the second Hungarian folk tale to involve tying a witch and her daughter to a horse's tail and dragging them around, possibly to death.
The first two fairies died because they weren't....... BLOND like the third one......HUNGARIAN FOLK TALES LOGIC
Yeah, I know, as a Hungarian BROWN haired OLDER sister, I can say that I was pretty pissed of every time when I watched one...
in many folk takes from the way past, the “bad guys” do get what they deserve. for instance, in the original Cinderella the step sisters and mother are very mean and nasty to Cinderella. when the glass slipper is brought for them to try on, one cuts off her toe and the other her heel to fit into the shoe. when Cinderella and The Prince are married they are punished, not forgiven! in one version they are put into barrels with nails hammered through them and run through the streets by horses. the old fairy tales were not goody goodies like we’ve made them now. after all, the three little pigs put a big cauldron of boiling water in the fire place for the wolf to fall into - like “yowch”.
I like how the fairies actually have realistic bodies, not being super skinny etc.
I love hearing these stories. I've been following for awhile. but this one bothered me. I can deal with the dated stories. but nowhere did it mention that the villains of the story need have dark skin. did they really have to be animated at such?
It's because she is a gypsie and theyr beliefs consist of witchcraft and fortune telling
It's because it is related to gypsies in hungary
LITERALLY
@@KaReaper73456 yeah and it's still racist
Smh, you're so immature. Black and brown are colors often used to despict evil in European folklore and mythology just like many African people consider white to be a bad omen or evil. If you're not mature enough to listen to these stories without crying about our 21st century BS then don't listen to them.
These are the most beautiful trees!
I like this kind of videos. And I don't understand why is everyone complaining about those dark evil figures. You guys are doing amazing work without the influence of political correctness, so keep on doing what you are doing.
Finally a sensible person at last.
Thanks!
I never really cared
I noticed in these Hungarian folk tales there's always a witch trying to marry off her daughter, and sabotaging the relationship of others.
Huh they really didn't bother to give an ending to the family that once had the little branch
