In how many ways can this brave new world go wrong? Led by the pigs, the animals in an English farm rise up, drive away the people that had enslaved them and create their own state.

How can you tell a story to children that is full of historical references and where a young boy beats up an old man three times over? Attila Dargay asked himself this very question. His response would become one of the most popular Hungarian animation films of all time.

If there was one true Hungarian blockbuster in the 1970s, then Johnny Corncob was undoubtedly be it. At just 32 years of age, Marcell Jankovics touched on one of the most important topics in Hungarian cultural history.

If you only mention the title Fehérlófia (Son of the White Mare) to a Hungarian, they will likely start listing the familiar characters in their head: Fanyűvő, Kőmorzsoló, Vasgyúró, and of course the delightfully named Hétszűnyű Kapanyányimonyók. But who are these mysterious figures, whose names speak to the child inside us all?

It hardly needs saying that if someone makes an animation film for adults, even in 1979, when Bubble Bath was made - a few years after the explosive success of Mattie the Goose-boy and Johnny Corncob - it is far from clear whether it would be capable of exploring current social issues.

Note: this film is not about the Belgian royal family. The story presents us with a fictional king of Belgium (Nicolas III), who is visiting Istanbul when he learns that his country is disintegrating. His efforts to return home, however, are severely hampered by a solar storm that makes communications and air navigation impossible.

Dear Viewer, you would be correct in recalling that neither poverty, courage nor modesty constitute one of the seven deadly sins. Yet in this anthology film, the creators - seven Belgian and French directors - present the world from another perspective.
