The Weekly Gravy #146

Hugo the Hippo (1975) – **½ Or, in Hungarian, Hugó, a víziló. Hungarian animation had actually just moved into feature films with 1973’s Johnny Corncob (by Marcell Jankovics, whose work I’ve reviewed elsewhere) when their leading studio, PannoniaFilm, joined forces with Brut Productions (and yes, that’s the same Brut who makes aftershave, cologne, and so forth) to make Hugo the Hippo, one of…

More Hungarian classics badly explained:

János vitéz (Johnny Corncob) by Petőfi Sándor: The rational response to your mother-in-law being a witch is to join the military. Also did you know that India neighbors France

Toldi by Arany János: The rational response to your brother being a dickhead is to kill his servant by accident and then beat up progressively scarier animals until you get knighted

Rege a csodaszarvasról (Song of the Miraculous Hind): son of local chieftain literally too horny to get out of the saddle, accidentally starts a new country

Szondi két apródja (The Two Pages of Szondi) by Arany János: [Ottoman pasha voice] hey listen I'm sorry I killed your master in a siege. Pls don't be sad, okay? Come on, I'll give you some fruit

Fehérlófia (Son of the White Mare): there's a penis gnome in this one

i have a game idea! choose 4 classics from your country's literature and try to summarize them in the worst way you can think of. if you're interested, you can also put this in the askboxes of other people, i feel like we should hype up non-british/american classics more

Fuck it, hungarian classics badly explained

Pál utcai Fiúk (Paul Street boys) by Molnár Ferenc: Larping gets a child killed over an empty plot of land

Kőszívű Ember Fiai (The Baron's Sons) by Jókai Mór: Austrians are bad at names

Az Ember Tragédiája (Tragedy Of Man) by Madách Imre: You have to work for a better future. Also satan can time travel

Egri Csillagok (Eclipse of the Crescent Moon) by Gárdonyi Géza: the first and only time the city of Eger could get together and organise something that wasn't a flop i'm dead serious
