So he slits an old woman's throat because she won't tell him what's in the box, kidnaps a princess, and then mauls an entire town with three dogs... Jesus, I thought the Germans had some harsh stories.
Dennis KT I see your point but we can’t assume she’s an EVIL witch. All she really wanted was the box and she was giving him plenty for his time. She didn’t even threaten him. I wouldn’t be complaining if she actually did something to warent her death but all she did was use her right to remain silent.
Wait what? this one is the strangest of them. he killed a witch who helped him get rich, stole a princess in her sleep, had dogs attack the villagers but still somehow married the princess?? well he gave money to them in one part....
Because this is a knock off of alaaddin. In the original, a magician wants aladdin to go into a well and bring him the lamp. Then aladdin finds the lamp, then the magician wants the lamp. Aladdin says first take me off here but the magician doesnt so aladdin finds the genie, wants the genie to release him.
My gosh I love how the dogs asked what the soldier wanted to wish for when he was about to be hanged. Like what do you think he’d ask for? That was really funny
OMG😮😮😮!!! I SWEAR! I read a story just like this in my country, Nigeria, when I was in nursery school! Except it was re-imagined with Nigerian characters and a poor orphan boy instead of a soldier😆😆😆! Damn! Wonderful! Sharing culture is awesome!
@@jayamilapersson4030 The tale was produced around the 80s, later than the grimms' version. And...as a Hungarian myself I've never heard of any similar folk tale, only the grimm brothers' and this cartoon adaption. Therefore, it's a rip off
There is a similar folktale in Brazil. The white witch told the Amerindian soldier to get a candle-lighter. Every time he turned on the candle with the over-mentioned candle-lighter, one of the magic dogs materialized in front of him. And he called up the dogs to find out why the black princess was ill. They found out the cause of princess' ailment: she was poisoned by a sorcerer. The soldier captured the sorcerer, married the princess and they lived happily ever after.
It's called "the blue light" Grimm's fairy tales. i like this Hungarian fairy tales channel but they aren't putting any efforts to change the story from the original one but at the same time they don't want to give him credit
This is such a wierd protagonist, he kills a witch out of spite, gives the poor town people money,kidnapped a princess for his liking annnnnd massacres the town people
This reminds me of that story (i forgot the production company). In that story the dogs wasn't a hound dog but a bulldog. And they come in 3 sizes: small (copper coins), medium (silver coins) and as big as the house (gold coins).
Well, this is quite a messed-up story. For me I had a sense that the guy was evil all the time because of the things that he was doing. I was hoping that at the end the candle would burn out and the dogs would turn oh him as punishment for his greed.
Isn't this just the Tinderbox? I might have the name wrong, but it sounds Exactly the same. The dogs had bigger and bigger eyes, guarded more and more valuable treasure, and when the witch wouldn't say why the tinderbox was valuable, he killed her. Turns out it would let him summon the dogs and they did his bidding. He used them to woo the local princess, and then killed the royals and the judges, and married the princess, ruling the land with the dogs that made weird looks at everyone.
Sıla Yıldırım I think the original story was once also published under that name. I'm not sure. But I double checked and yeah, this is next to Identical to "The Tinderbox." Lawsuit levels of similar, and I can't find any connection to Hungarian folklore.
I'm not sure this is a Hungarian folktales at all. It's just "The Tinderbox" which was written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1835 in Denmark, based on a similar Scandinavian tale. There are similar stories in multiple countries, but I don't see any in Hungary..
@@kriszgamer0013 1. I hadn’t found a *written* story, which raised the question if this video’s authenticity. Was it really a Hungarian story, or one from another country they merely claim to be Hungarian? 2. Your phrasing was still weird, considering this comment is five years old.

Rikku Takanashi that’s the worst happily ever after I’ve heard
She wasn’t just any old woman. She was a witch.
Yes, the scumbaggery is strong.

they both lived happily atop the mangled corpses of the townspeople, courtesy of three magical dogs.
Should I mention, that usually hungarian folk tales end literally as: "...and they lived happily, until they died"? :D
That's why the hero of the story is a soldier.
And surely the murder of the king.... Her father
And here I thought he was going to get punished for his greed
Well. Guess this is an example for a story where the villain wins at the end. ^^;
I thought he was going to get punished for murdering an old woman.
Well, he threw money to the poor after he bought food and clothes, so he shouldn't be punished for greediness
Jamestown you mean a witch?
Friend: What did you do for New Year's Eve?
Me: Binge watched Hungarian Folk Tales.
Friend: 🤔😑

He gave them money and ruined the local economy.
@Alexandre Phaneuf élève I demand proof, where in this video did it say an "evil" witch
My gosh I love how the dogs asked what the soldier wanted to wish for when he was about to be hanged. Like what do you think he’d ask for? That was really funny
4:40 the king has some mad sewing skills! 🤣
Poor jester though ...

@@HungarianFolkTales thank you!
🇳🇬🇳🇬ayyyyy
Well hello there! My father's side of my family is from Lagos, Nigeria. Happy New Year!
There is also another fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen called "The Tinder Box" which is very very similar.
Narrator, enthusiastically: "So he *slit* her throat with his silver sword."
Haha yea. Cuz you gotta keep up with the beautiful narration like a pro, regardless of plot twists =]
@@1..0w0..3 Who.... tf.... are you....?
Im 31 years old but i cant stop watching stories like this..
Well this particular story wasn't for kids
Reminds me of a danish story (the tinderbox) by HC Andersen.
It reminded me of a story by the Brothers Grimm
Yeah... It's an utter ripoff
@@newhorizon3229 Maybe just learning that the Grimm's stories are quite common across Europe
New Horizon the brothers Grimm stories are a collection of folk tales they gathered so its not a rip off.

This story was a roller coaster

not once throughout this story did i say, “hmm, yeah! the soldier deserves this!”
Except maybe when the king put him in the dungeon for kidnapping his daughter
Kills a woman just cos she doesnt want to tell him whats that box...
SNAKE: "I hate my life."
So the moral of the story is to not give a f***... Be like that soldier 😂😂🤣🤣
The soldier heard that there was a princess and that no one was allowed to meet her in person
Sounds like Habsburgs to me
Well that’s an Hans Christian Anderson story.... It’s callede “Fyrtøjet”
I have now found out it’s callede ‘the tinderbox’ in english.
... i’ll be honest, I don’t like the story. However I like how Not one single part of it was anything I assumed it to be.
Sounds like Star Wars: The Last Jedi logic
This is HCA's story 'The Tinderbox'
This is the Tinderbox with a different title basically.
Oh my! Of course I'll marry you!*(Hounds mauling her friends and family in the background)*
It's called "the blue light" Grimm's fairy tales. i like this Hungarian fairy tales channel but they aren't putting any efforts to change the story from the original one but at the same time they don't want to give him credit
Only if i had this candle so i can find someone to get married 😅😅
I question a woman who picks a bad boy who summons demon dogs and kills half the town.
The soldier looks like post malone
this is my childhood
I read a few very similar stories in the Arabian nights once, this was alladin for the most part.
I thought the same thing.
Löl ! Das war lustig . Absolutely hilarious 😂. Funny story indeed .
This story is “The Tinderbox” by Hans Christian Anderson. It’s not Hungarian at all.
I know stories like this are important to show the injustices in the world, but sheesh...
Если бы ведьма выжила, то забралась бы в дупло, помешалась бы на той коробочке со свечой и стала бы венгерским Горлумом.
so the king didnt want anyone to see the princess and take her to the town in the middle of an execution?
This reminds me of the fairytaler: tinderbox man did I watch it religiously 😊
What is with these fairytale romances endorsing Stockholm syndrome
Well, bridal kidnapping was pretty common as a ritual in many old cultures... still pretty messed up.
Well I must say they just keep getting weirder...
But *DAYUM,* greatsound track!
Isnt there another version of this story thats the same except each dog has an increasingly bigger size eyes??
He killed an inocent. The hero is a bad person.
im starting to disbelief hungarian morality
This is such a wierd protagonist, he kills a witch out of spite, gives the poor town people money,kidnapped a princess for his liking annnnnd massacres the town people
I recall reading this as a child as a tale called the soldier and the tinder box, I believe!
We have that one in the Netherlands too
This is the strangest story with no moral.
They both loved happily ever after in a town who's economy was ruined by inflation.
This reminds me of that story (i forgot the production company). In that story the dogs wasn't a hound dog but a bulldog. And they come in 3 sizes: small (copper coins), medium (silver coins) and as big as the house (gold coins).
Han Gyo Jin tinderbox
with no subjects in with to rule over for his dogs had killed them all
Imagine if the boy asked what's in the box, the soldier didn't tell him and the kid ended up walking away with the candle letti.g the dude get hanged
Well, this is quite a messed-up story. For me I had a sense that the guy was evil all the time because of the things that he was doing. I was hoping that at the end the candle would burn out and the dogs would turn oh him as punishment for his greed.
With the first scene the princess was in I thought she wasn't blond so this can't be the girl he marries but she was just wearing a bonnet
This story is just the tinder box by Hans Christian Anderson but with slight diffrences.
Isn't this just the Tinderbox? I might have the name wrong, but it sounds Exactly the same.

Its a folk tale so its possible that it traveled through europe and other versions emerged in different countries
I love this
help i can not stop
This is a Danish story not a Hungarian story
I saw a play of this story although it was called The Tinder Box. The Tinder Box also appears in a book called A World of Fairy Tales.
this is a danish tale from Hans Christian Andersen The Tinderbox en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tinderbox
Why didn't the princess not complained she just went with evrything
I read this story when I was young didn't know it was Hungarian
Oh Im Sorry? Am i the only one that is thinking of H.C Andersen?? Like mhmhmmmmmmm
Poor snake
I would like some talking dogs that appear from a candle
Wtf no
that's not a Hungarian tale !!! .... that's a Hans Christian Andersen tale called "Tinder Box" !!
Sounds like The grimms blue fire or something similar
This one really had no moral at the end hmmph
What kind of dog is that?!
I thought they were fearsome guard dogs but he easily picked them up and down..?
Magical apron and great muscles.
I'm not sure this is a Hungarian folktales at all. It's just "The Tinderbox" which was written by Hans Christian Andersen in 1835 in Denmark, based on a similar Scandinavian tale. There are similar stories in multiple countries, but I don't see any in Hungary..

long live queen Elizabeth II
This is like a gruesome version of The Tinderbox yikes
So this is just the european version of alaaddin
Didn’t the king oppose to the marriage?
The king served as a chew toy for magical dogs.
I read this story so many times necer knowing it's origin
Thanks youtube
Why the Princess never spoke to the soldiers
I Like How Nice Whichs Are In These Stories
so the original story is based of Han's christian Anderson's Tinder box
Wait, what? It's like the ending was rushed. What's the moral?
With a magic box, you get 3 things. Servants, money, and b*tches.
oh so this is like alla- OH WAIT NEVER MIND
But isn't that a Hans Christian Andersen's story?
Poor snake🥺
this tale is not Hungarien its a danish tale from H.C.Andersen!
Dozens of nations use the same plots and motifs. Even the cleverest people don't know exactly their origins.
Greedy soldier...
This is based on the tinderbox i can see it
I wish i was lucky to make all my wish come truth!
I kind of noticed that this channel does similar tropes and stories as well as making misleading titles like this one which is not even about the Soldier's Luck but more about the magic box...which is kind of similar in some aspects with the story of ALLADIN.
This channel is just an official one for a show from the 70's. Blame the show writers for title mishaps if anything.
I agree with mads r
Ok but *what* was this one
H.C. Andersen...
Reminds me of Aladdin.
@Time Lord
True.
Well, this story isn’t Hungarian
Wow now this tale is messed up
H.C. Andersen Fyrtøjet rip off
😐 not my favorite one thus far. How strange
Fyrtøjet rip off
So...what were the dogs there for again at the start? To "protect" the coins?
