Psychedelic Hungarian animation? Sign me up. János Vitéz is nationalist and outright racist at times, and I didn't love it quite as much as I loved Marcell Jankovics' later film Son of the White Mare, but this is very cool.

Son of the White Mare (1981)
Son of the White Mare (Fehérlófia) is a trippy, psychedelic, beautiful 1980s animation fantasy based on Hungarian folktales. The opening is jaw-droppingly extraordinary, and if the rest of it isn't quite as exciting as the incredible first ten minutes, it's still pretty amazing.
I watched Son of the White Mare as part of the awesome Art-House Animation series right now on the Criterion Channel.
