oh heck I finally got around watching this short animation and I’m glad I did, even if I don’t understand a word and I could get a rough idea of the story from a google translation of the folk tale.

Magyar népmesék: Holló Jankó, directed by Marcell Jankovics, who also directed Fehérlófia, I just love the stylish presentation and the character designs so much, I should watch more videos in this series based off Hungarian folk tales (by various directors! lots of neat art styles present, wow. some of them even have English subtitles!)

also gosh the protagonist is pretty androgynous.

also I like the design of the king. he’s a jerk.
