A Hungarian animation series, '''''Magyar népmesék''''' was a collection of animated shorts, each telling a traditional folktale, many being variants of more well-known stories. Many of the shorts can be found on [[YouTube]], where they are getting a somewhat cult following.
 
The series started in 1977 with a season consisting of 13 episodes. Further seasons were added in 1979, 1984, 1989, 1995, 2002, 2007, and 2009. A total of 89 regular episodes have been released.

Some of the shorts were also dubbed into Spanish.
* [[Not Quite Dead]]: In "Cerceruska," the heroine's stepmother tries to drown her. Fortuantely, a fish swallows her whole, and her husband rescues her.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Dragons in these tales are more or less humanoid, clothed, ride horses and fight with swords. They'll almost always have multiple heads. They often want to [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|marry]] the [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|princess they keep captive]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: One of the animated shorts, "Hamupipoke," is a variant of the Cinderella story, that traditionally ends with the prince smply recognizing the heroine without any help. The animated short borrows the Disney/Perrault ending with the prince using a glass slipper.
* [[Un CancelledUncancelled]]: The first batch of shorts were made in the late 70's. More and more were produced in the 80's and 90's. Finally, even more shorts have been independently produced in the 2000's, after the original production company went bankrupt.
