Don't touch my man! That Queen was throwing some hands.
Also throwing her man
@@SaranshV lol
Lolz
That prince is very lucky he didn't die and that he was able to make it back to the castle with his beloved. there are lots of other stories like this but their endings aren't as happy. because one the person left and realized that they had been gone for such a long time, they were never able to make their way back to their beloveds.
He also wasn't able to make his way to his parents
Reminds me of the Japanese tale of Urashimataro. A boy did a good service to the queen of the sea by releasing a sea turtle from captivity. As a reward, he was allowed to come to her palace and marry the princess Otohime; after a while, he grew lonesome and wanted to see his family. Otohime gave him a magic box to keep with him while up on land, and when he returned, he found that 300 years had gone by though it seemed only 30 beneath the waves. Out of despair, and curiosity, he opened the box and all 300 years came upon him at once so that he died instantly, an old man.
Me to
I was thinking in that. Sad indeed.
I'm from Ireland & there is a similar story with an ending pretty much the same, the story is called Tír na Nóg, the land of youth. The main characters are Oisín (Little Fawn), the son of Finn Mac Cumhaill the famous Irish Warrior & the Celtic Deer Goddess Sadhv & Princess Niamh Cinn Óir (Golden Hair) of Tír na Nóg. When Oisín wanted to visit his family back in Ireland his wife Niamh gave him a magic white horse & advised him never to dismount under any circumstance. He goes back to Ireland only to discover that 1 day in Tír na Nóg is 1 year in Ireland & he had been away for 300 years! Travelling through a town he encounters some people trying to move a heavy boulder & he offers to help them, however when he reached down & lifted the heavy boulder the saddle's girth broke & he fell on the ground. The horse disappeared & Oisín turned into an old man, he died hours later from old age. In 1 version of the tale, Oisín learns of a new religion (Christianity) & St. Patrick himself gives Oisín his final rites on his deathbed.
AnaxErik4ever I love how some stories are universal ☺️
I swear everyone is saying me to but I think were all probably clueless
She threatened the grim reaper and told him she will kill him...death will face death ...she is awesome. ..you dont find this in anime
lol. Play more video games. At least some of those stories have old school anime feels to them....
well anyone who's ever read more than a few pages if Lovecraft knows, even death may die.
Is she God? Because the Apocalypse says that death will be the last defeated enemy
@@1lobster dude like no one reads Lovecraft because of the unconformable amount of racism its like: oh cool Lovecraftian horror epic ill read that, then huh different times i guess, then well im just gonna read the cliffnote coz nope
Wtf? When did I bring that up?
Haha, flying cars and automated technology but you still have to use an earphone to hear.
And straw beds
Maybe the old man was poor and couldn't afford healthcare.
He was 300 yrs.
As you can see today, oldest man use old tools.
5:19 is nobody gonna talk about how fabulous the prince poses are?
he's FABULOUS!!!😘😳
My guy looked like he just crossed the finish line
Fabulous, majestic
"I has't got the moves liketh jagger"
This story was beyond its time
Not even now people are capable of coming up with this
A woman threatening the grim reaper so she could save her huspand and the husband running away in fabulous poses, then the womam grabbing the man and throwing him above a castle
Whose original idea was this, he/she deserves an award
Just imagine the irony of this situation:
God: Why are you here death, aren't you supposed to be collecting the souls?
Death: Yeah, but I died
God: ........
Like in Supernatural
This is what will happen in the Apocalypse
Get back to work I'm not paying you to sit around!
I'm an atheist but yes the idea of that is quite comical
*Suddenly,* *a* *job* *application* *fell* *from* *the* *sky.*
"Need another Reaper"
this story is sooo wholesome and unique in so many levels.
The world after 3000 years has a pretty realistic scene for that time.
In this story, it's actually the female lead who saves the male lead and the plot twist is great. The fact that she challenged death is also awesome.
Aaand most importantly, this story has a happy ending.
Reminds me of a Georgian tale my my mom used to tell me, a young man whose father died when he was a child, decided to leave his mother to find a place where he could live forever, because he feared death. He found a beautiful castle made of glass, and inside there was a beautiful maid with pale skin, black hair and peachy cheeks who never got old. She told him to stay in the castle and live with her forever. The man happily agreed as he had fallen in love with the woman. Many years went by, he missed his mother, his home. He told the woman he wanted to leave, to return home. The woman told him he would become mortal again as soon as hed leave the palace, but the man missed his mother so much that he didnt change his mind. Then the woman gave him 3 apples and told him, once you eat all three of them, you'll die. The boy left the castle and returned to his hometown only to find that everyone he knew died a long time ago, and only one old man had heard of his family. The old man told him about a mother who lived a while ago and who cried and searched for his only son all her life. Full of regret, the young man visited the ruins of his old house, became very sad and felt that the earth was calling him. He ate the last apple and died. As all living things, he returned to the cycle of life and became part of the earth.
gravity eyelids ....wow
Very sad story. I think it explains why Georgians live over 100 years
I dont wanna die but must be boring lived 3 thousend years and without all family
Finally! A woman in these tales who saves a man and not vise versa.
CartoonCat it's actually much more common than you might think. it's just that modern people don't really notice because of how much we like to be angry.
💘✨
@@1lobster lnik some ;)
I was talking about fairy tales in general.
@@sjkdsfsdf52 look up the Hungarian folk tale water fairy
I love how the king's eyes are a sun and a moon.
2:02, Ooooh, bare feet around all those pins???
I think when the Queen told the Prince that he'd been there for 3,000 years, he should have just given up on going home to see his parents!
I love how he takes his hat off to greet everyone, up to and including death himself.
I love how the prince's response to the king saying there is no such place as Foreverland is, "Yes there, is; I've heard of it!" XD
A hay bed... somewhere in the 4th millenium. Those Europeans really did not see science coming.
Yes, because hay does not exist anymore.
@Főfasírozó when there's a hay, there's a horse lol
I knew of a similiar tale, or another version of this one, only with a darker twist at the end.
I can't remember all the details, but the prince went looking for immortality like in this one, only that on the road he met some men that offered him alternatives. There were at least three, with one who was trying to fell a whole forest, one trying to dry a lake/sea, another trying to take down a mountain with a pickaxe, but all of them said "stay with me and help me with my task, and we will both live until we're done."
The prince refused, because he wanted to live forever, not just centuries, and actually found a land where he could do so, but then he wanted to go back to his kingdom, and was sent there on a horse that he should NEVER dismount, or the Reaper would find him. He actually passed a mound of rocks (the mountain), a desert (the lake) and a grassland (the forest) on the way back, but still found out that centuries had passed, like in this version. However, on the way back he met an old man, pleading for help with a broken wheelbarrow. In the end the prince agreed and dismounted from the horse, but the old man grabbed him with a cackle and the prince instantly died, for he was the Reaper, and he had been looking for him for a long time...
In Romania we have a similar tale, in which the prince went searching for immortality and he traveled by magic horse, and battled monsters in the magic forest, finally reaching a house in which lived 3 fairies. He lived happily with them for a while, but one day, while he was hunting, he suddenly felt the urge to go home and he did, but he died as soon as he entered the castle ruins, as hundreds of years had passed.
Tinerete fara batranete si viata fara de moarte! 😊 La asta m-am gandit si eu!
Did the horse have at least six legs? All flying magic 🐎 in these stories normally do
@@AlexandraZe I don't remember, but the horse, like in other folk tales, was the skinniest and the most ill until he ate some burning coal, after which he became a magic horse.
I like this one better. 3 wives forever. And they'll stay young too. Lol
Da,o mai tin minte.
Amintiri :)....
I love the drawings for these little folk tales, they’re* quite nice
There is a same legend in Ireland and Japan
Not exactly but we're similar
I'm from Ireland, the story is called Tír na Nóg, the land of youth. The main characters are Oisín (Little Fawn), the son of Finn Mac Cumhaill the famous Irish Warrior & the Celtic Deer Goddess Sadhv & Princess Niamh Cinn Óir (Golden Hair) of Tír na Nóg.
Wait didn't the Celtic women make a song about that
Myth of seeking immortality is the oldest trope known to us. Epic of Gilgamesh confirms.
Yes, we have a similar story in Czech republic too. But the poor man just invited a statue of Jesus to his wedding feast. Next day Jesus himself invited him to celestial wedding feast, where je stayed overnight. In the morning he didn't recognized his village, so the man went to the church (for churches stays the same all the time) asking priests what happened. They found out he Is the man that went missing 500 years ago and at the moment the poor man died.
LaBelleDame DuManor yeahhh the Japanese one is the story of Urashima Taro
Never touch another queen's man!
And yes, I know what I just said. I still mean it!
Those shoes at the end tho.
The shoes are like: *Im done with your bs.*
Person: isnt blonde
Hungary: im about to end this whole man's career
How do you threaten Death with death? Are you threatening him with himself?
"That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die. "
The queen is Cthulhu.
Stop killing yourself. Stop killing yourself. Why are you killing yourself?
Well with ur mouth of course , Now whether it gets threatened Or not is another question 😅😅
For a dying man every trick is worth it 🌳
This was my favorite one.
It isn't clear-cut with immortality being good or bad; the Prince discovered a land of immortality and married it's Queen, but he never got to see his parents again and when he returned he discovered that the world had forgotten him and his Kingdom. When Death came he still chose immortality.
I especially liked the art when he returned to his hometown after 3000 years, the way the people and society was futuristic. Even if nobody remembered his father, the Prince could have tried finding a scholar or a historian (who might at least know who his father was).
Personally I think being immortal would be a good thing. A lot of stories talk about how we should appreciate death, but that's just because we don't have a choice. Death is preceded by fear and leaves anguish in it's wake, the sooner we get rid of it the better. Look up "The Fable of The Dragon-Tyrant" to see what I mean.
An intriguing idea, but ultimately flawed I think. Immortality really would being nothing but trouble, for not everyone can be immortal. You would live all your days being lonely due to eventually outliving your loved ones, a lifestyle that would run you down and drive you mad. Plus there are countless other fairy tales that discuss other horrors that immortality on this world bring, the story of "The Soldier and Death" in particular takes a good look at this. Furthermore death itself is not at all wicked, only those who have been sinful fear it and only those who cannot accept sadness are anguished by it. Death is a neutral force that humans have demonized as it is something they cannot understand. Death is in fact a release for many, like the old who cannot go on. Plus you really don't have anything to fear from death when Heaven is your destination.
The only way to get rid of death is for everything else to die, then death itself will die.
@Kyi12300 If I could have a way to be Immortal I would use it instantly, simply because I don't stand the idea of not knowing what'll happen in the future of mankind.
Immortality would become really lonely as the Earth and sun age and die, followed, after uncountable eons, by the heat death of the universe. If you want to see what happens to humanity, wish for a time machine that only goes forward, instead. It probably won’t turn out as well as it did in Futurama.
+Jamestown I like the story and agree with your first two paragraphs, but I wouldn't want to be immortal because I want to die.
Immortality is only bad if you are alone immortal. If you had someone who would be with you it wouldn't be that horrible.
Wow 3,000 years and he still seemed to love her yet most couples can't seem to last 30 to 40 lol
Well to him it felt like three years.
In most tales, a year in the fairy world is a thousand years in the mortal world
Well, those people didnt have a lot of options back then. Conventional morals were strong and generally people after a certain age wish to be settled and not be bothered to keep entertaining new lovers.
On further reflection, I think this folk tale is an allegory for Christianity. Foreverland is a stand-in for Heaven, and the Queen of Foreverland is the Mother Church. He reaches them both with the help of bread, the Queen welcomes him with open arms. The Queen discourages him from leaving her, but won't hold him prisoner. When he leaves her the Grim Reaper threatens him, but the Queen takes him back and protects him.
The moral of the story is listen to your wife's cause they will save your life
......literally
It's just so nice after seeing so many Hungarian men marry the youngest blonde daughters of kings in other folk tales to see a queen literally beat the hell out of death itself.
Wow!! It's kind of sad but the end was a happy one.
“Dad I want to live forever”
“Naw man it’s not possible”
“Well I don’t care and I’m going to spend years of my life searching for a place that may or may not exist”
“Yeah okay bye”
Whoa, this is the first time where I've actually seen futuristic technology represented in the tales of this Channel lmao
This story is really similar to the romanian folk tale "Tinerețe fără bătrânețe și viață fără de moarte" (Youth without old age and life without death) tough our tale is more tragic. The main differences are that the prince has a magic horse, he battles with 2 witches and when he comes back he does find the ruins of his father's castle, and death comes out from the throne, saying "Finally you've come. If you stayed any longer, even I would've died" and then he takes his life.
This one gave me long lasting existential dread as a kid
There's an Irish🇨🇮 version of this tale called Oisín and the land of eternal youth. Only when he returns home after 300 years he gets of his horse (which his wife told him not to do) and he becomes an old man and can never return to the land of eternal youth or his wife again.
Queen: Ok death, if I YEET this man outside the walls, he's yours
Death: o k
Prince: Wait whut-
No one can live forever. Not even our most beloved monarchs.
NessLover94 You are a 5 years old,or you are so stupid. Ask some translator, who explain for you ,what you see! Good heaven those faire tails thruely was made just. for hungarians!!!Because we know wher we came from,and wher we going
@@greenforest8347
Stop insulting me! 😠😡
Time on earth is temporary, but life is eternal, which is why it is important to know where you're going when you die.
@@litigioussociety4249 so true
Its. A. Fairy. Tale. They can live forever because they are not our reality.
The person reading these stories has a great accent. I especially like the way he says "mountain".
Don't know y but tat seems to be a sad ending... A man who did not get to see his father at death 😢😢😢
I just love old animation..... It reminds me of my childhood.... As I am a 90s kid....
I wonder why the prince was so afraid of death and wanted to live forever so much in the first place. That's something that they never revealed in this story.
Because it's death? Pretty much everybody's afraid of death from the moment they understand it. The first recorded story in human history is about a man trying to live forever.
Think the more appropriate ending would be "And they lived happily forever after".
Even if you could magically live forever, you will experience the loss of every mortal friend and family member. It sounds so lonely because, even if there are a few others who live forever, you won’t be able to make new friends for very long.
Highlander
Astonishing art. Extraordinarily beautiful.
This also reminded me of an Irish Folklore call The Myth of Oshin and the land of Eternal Youth, but sadly this story didn't have a happy ending like this one.
For as soon as he dismounted from his magical horse, it was all up for him, and immediately all the weight of his ages fell upon him and he died not hours later, an old man.
The prince was a time traveler. The story's narrative is rich.
if only Stan Lee could live forever
oh!!! that touched my heart 😭😭😭😭😭
Stan Lee didn't die
he got sick of humanity's shit and decided to go to heaven and do what he loves to do forever without anyone ruining his creations
Only his body died; his soul is in Heaven and his works will make his name last forever.
I know a different story that have some resembles. A young man left his home in search of immortality. He came upon a man who was cutting wood in the forest. He explained his desire and the man told him that he can stay with him, he need to chop every tree so he can die. But the man wants immortality so he keeps looking till he finds a Rocky landscape with a man moving rocks. They talks and the man explained that he need to remove all the rocks from the valley so he can die. The man left again later finds a big see and a man taking water buckets. They chat and he explained that in order to die he need to dry the see. Again the man leaves and he finds a castle made of jewels. Inside a woman who says that here he won't die. The man marry her. Eons passed fast. Until he decides to come back home to see what have changed. His wife agreed, only rule is to never get off of his horse. The man went out. Seeing a forest only of stumps, a valley with no a single stone and a crater (the dried see) he finds his hometown ruined and his house merely a pile of rubbish. Than he hears a plea for help. In a distance an old man stuck with his cart in deep mud and the cart full of worn old shoes. Begging for the man's help. If he won't get out he is sure to die. So the man get off of his horse and at that moment the old man catches him and says : do you know who I am? I am death! And I've been searching you for eons! Finally we meet! And so the man finally dies.
This is similar to the Irish tale of tir na nog.
I remember a kid show with the same name. Was a little like power rangers
I just love it when the shoes started to walk away after everything
How much folk tales they have !!! It just never finish and make me competitive to finish them alll. They remands me old days that my aunt telling stories at dark to make me sleep and how much happy i was :)
I have also heard of a similar story. But it is a bit different, the guy was a poor fisherman and he had found a rare pearl. He then returned it to a mermaid. Afterwards, he married her and she gave him the pearl in a box or something like a oval container as a token of promise, and so that he may return to the sea. He stayed with her for 3 days, then he wanted to show-off the pearl to everyone, so he returned to the surface, the land but only to find 300 years had passed. He began to age so he tried to return to the sea, but he somehow lost the pearl in the sea. Afterwards, he could no longer return to the mermaid because he no longer had the pearl. I think it was a story to teach us as kids, of pride and being humble. I believed it was called 'the pearl'.
These Hungarian folk tales are giving me flashbacks of the witcher
I wouldn't know first-hand, but the lights around the Queen of Foreverland @2:30 or so might be risky for epileptic folks.
Ama Yad Triggering for migraines, too...
2:30-2:55 SEIZURE WARNING
A much happier ending to the tail I'm used to...
Death says he's been looking for him for 3000 years, and the prince arrived at the land 3000 years ago. Does that mean that if the prince had not gone to Foreverland, he was supposed to have died that same year?
Or he just rounded up the number you know.
The freakiest Hungarian Folktale I've seen yet
"How long you think you been here?" "3 years?" "No, 3000" *Real Shit*
It is said that they are still living happily now
The thing that I notice from these Tales are that, they do not have any moral as every fairy tale will have. Its more like just a tale and enjoy it. And yes I am enjoying it.
LOLLL the way he stamped 0:40
The eyes of the king portray him like a mountain. Something old and majestic, who has seen many ages pass
This story could have easily ended in tragedy for the young prince, but theres a pattern of him persevering and striving forward towards these impossible goals, against the better judgments of those around him. He tells them he will not be stopped, and they let him go with their blessing and aid. And he succeeds
I don't know why i watch these little folktales.
Makes me feel sad when he learned his family was dead but still wanted to go back and see if someone could remember his father.
Seeing the way language changes in 3000 years, the quest for someone who would know his father must have began with the quest for the equivalent of an egyptologist. "And then, after much mimicking and bewilderment, he was sent to a university student who happened to go to class with some guy who is super into old Roman stuff."
"Yes, there is (such a place as Forever Land). I've heard of it! And obviously everything I've ever heard of must be real."
"Believe nothing of what you hear, and only half of what you see." Can't remember where that quote is from, but it explains a lot to me. Humankind has searched for centuries of a way to become immortal, and yet, is it really worth it?
This is similar to some folktales in some other countries wherein the protagonist stayed in a magical place not knowing that he lived there for more than a century.
The only difference with this one is that there is a flying vehicle and a 300-year old living person @4:00 who never heard of the protagonist's father...BECAUSE HE NEVER TOLD THE FATHER'S NAME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
But, come to think about it, this is the only story I know that the ending for the protagonists is that they really live happily ever after.
I had no idea that Hungarians had such beautiful interesting folk stories! I mean I know there are old but they are soooooooo amazing! I always wach these.😋😍😍😍😍😘😅👍👍👍👍👍
this reminds me of the movie "kingdom in the clouds" (tinerete fara batranete). it was released in 1969 and mircea breazu plays a man who wants to find the kingdom of eternal youth. ana szeles plays a princess who mircea breazu's character marries at the end of the movie. ion tugearu plays the prince of liars and nicolae secareanu plays the king of liars. the movie was filmed in romania
reminds me of another story i read, its almost the same as this one just without the iron gates and the magic shoes. instead the queen gave the guy a horse and said that if he goes back and his feet touch the ground he would instantly die. he got to his homeland there were some people struggling to remove some boulders and they asked him to help them. he forgot the warning and went to help them and as soon as his feet touch the ground he aged rapidly and died on the spot.
i forgot the story name but it should be similar i guess, this story ending is happier so maybe i like it better. also the queen in this story is a legend, threatening to kill death himself? ultimate power move.
I thought she said “i will throw him a pie” xD
I keep playing 0:40 over and over again
I love it too! That made him one of my favorite characters haha
Well this was awesome! :D
this man radiates himbo energy
At least the young man stays young and still keeps the girl in this tale, similar stories from other countries either tell that the man becomes very old or dies from what his love interest had warned him when he leaves her kingdom or her world.
Thank you!! It was a favorite series for many of us but I haven't seen this episode.
Who is the English story teller? I don't recognize his voice.
Ralph Berkin
@@realmrgreen8408 Thank you!
@@realmrgreen8408 Thank you! I was wondering, because it's definitely not Szabó Gyula as per the description. He was indeed the original story teller. A Hungarian would recognize his voice from a million.
@@AndreaGerakSinger Szívesen! :) Igen, Szabó Gyula egy legenda! :) A neve itt csak elírás lehet. Az angol narrátor viszont valamilyen módon kötődhet Magyarországhoz, mert több magyar szerző művét (pl. Parti Nagy Lajos) is ő fordította angolra ill. folyamatosan felbukkan magyar produkciókban.
she deadass yeeted him nearly into the heaven and no one is talking about that shit?
She's literally the queen of immortality with boots made to out run death and the fact that she threw him high in the sky is the most perplexing part?
I believe this is the strangest one I've heard thus far.
So....if you wanna chase off the 'death', you just need to beat him ?
Interesting
No actually you need to put your heart in a gemstone and then put that gemstone in a bird and then put that bird inside of a dog and then put the dog inside if a box and then put that box inside of another box and then...
@@cornuschristi1814 interesting...
I admit, I didn't see that coming at all. I thought for sure that he would never find Foreverland, and the moral would be that he spent his whole life chasing immortality instead of just enjoying life while he had it.
I never knew a 6 min video takes 3% of battery 🔋
Oh no I have 4
That man is SO LUCKY! Now I just need to find my Foreverland Prince who happens to be gay and into me. LOL Any takers?
This is like a romanian tale "tinerețe fără bătrânețe și viață fără de moarte"but the prince died cuz he return to his fatherland...
0:39 that little tantrum just sent me
they literary lived happily forever
imagine his fathers grief though never knowing what became of his son and not even in death would they be reunited.
The watercolours are so prettyy 😍💞
This is literally like time travel XD
Yes, but only toward the future, so it's shitty time travel.
That is one tough immortal woman. Her place looks interesting.
Thanks you help me fall asleep
Happily ever after my ass he's gonna go insane and run away!
Death looks very interesting
Oh my even death received death threats ☠️😂
"When the King threw the prince up high."
Um don't you mean QUEEN (Or did she suddenly have a spontaneous sex change)
This is hands down my favourite episode. Maybe along with Macskacicó ❤
Ya queen strong as hell to throw a man straight up
I thought its gonna be Sisiphos story because he also didnt want to die and tricked Hades. This princess must be Persephone and dogs are Cerberus.
And lived happily ever after, I want a ending like that in my life too..
This reminds me of the man who wanted to live forever
Three gate, (birth gate, grave gate and judgement gate)
This story is real, just different way of telling.
This lass yeeted a dude into the air and then slapped death...
And they lived happily forever
