Fam have you watched ponyo? Because there’s a character there (ponyo’s dad) he reminds me so much of severus in the weirdest way

Weirdest way is an understatement

by hans bacher: "outlined bear in one color would have looked too cartoony, too much detail in the fur too expensive to animate, too realistic and it would have flickered. this is what I came up with as a solution, just animated highlights in two different colors...all felt pen and gouache on top of simon wells' xeroxed storyboard drawings"

I like in Teen Titans that Robin’s mask is just as expressive as like cartoon spidey masks. Especially when they do this thing:

Animated Enchantment.

A recent restoration of Son of the White Mare sends our animation correspondent Kambole Campbell on a quest for a few words with legendary Hungarian filmmaker Marcell Jankovics, about the external cosmos, inner spiritual worlds, and the latest season of Vikings.

“The true arts are receiving less and less space in every genre.” —Marcell Jankovics

Much adored and highly rated by Letterboxd animation fans, Marcell Jankovics’ 1981 masterpiece Son of the White Mare is, frankly, some of the wildest imagery ever put on the big screen. A swirl of psychedelic depictions of folkloric beings are flattened out into a gorgeous 2D tableau. The titanic figures of the characters twist into impossible and often abstract shapes, all realized with eye-popping and heavily contrasting color.

Arbelos Films recently restored Son of the White Mare to 4K, and it was due for release in cinemas this year. Instead, the film is now available for US animation fans on Vimeo OnDemand, and it’s unmissable. “The restoration made everything pop so much, that at a point I think my brain melted,” writes Bretton, on Letterboxd. “The kind of film that makes me happy to be human,” raves Will. “Appropriately immense imagery for a creation myth,” agrees Lindy.

477. Son of the White Mare (AKA Feherlofia) (1981)

8/10

For what it lacks in conventional narrative structure, this Hungarian movie more than makes up for visually. Based on Hungarian folklore, it tells the story of a celestial kingdom in the branches of the world tree, rent by dragons from its roots, who kill the three princes and steal their three suitors away to the underworld. The queen, transformed into a white mare, gives birth to three new sons, but the third she raises to be stronger than the others by giving him her life (via breastfeeding for eighteen years…desperate times, I suppose.) This son has to go to the underworld with help from his brothers to kill the dragons and free the princesses.

The beauty of the animation in Janos Vitel is mirrored in Feherlofia, and both movies are a sight to be seen. The delicacy of using the animation to touch on subjects not mentioned in dialogue, and to draw parallels between characters and subjects, gives the art a distinctively dreamlike quality, which is something to be appreciated compared to the American and Japanese tendency toward literalism in animation. You could easily use this movie to teach symbolism in a classroom - it seethes with metaphor like a rotting log in a forest does with fungal growth. The impressive and unusual design work alone makes Feherlofia worth watching, and the rich color palettes are very pleasing to the eye. If you decide to ruin family night with a weird art film, there’s a small chance your family will actually enjoy this one, though I wouldn’t bet on it.

The director, Marcell Jankovics, later was involved with the art department on Disney’s The Emperor’s New Groove, though development on that project eventually moved away from the mythological and mystical tones of his prior work, for better or worse.
