'''''The Treasure of Swamp Castle''''' is the English-dubbed name of the movie ''Szaffi'', a 1985 Hungarian animated film directed by Attila Dargay (the person who also gave Hungarian audiences another beloved cartoon, ''[[Vuk the Little Fox]]''). It is based on, and has music from, Johann Strauss II's operetta The Gypsy Baron--which is based on the novel "A cigánybáró" (''The Gipsy Baron'') 1885 by Mór Jókai. It is little known, but a few of you growing up in the 90s might have gotten your hands on a VHS of the dub. It's funny and beautifully animated, so check it out.
