Ride with Marcell Jankovics’ Son of the White Mare, the first entry in our Surrealist Animation series!
The story follows the journey of Treeshaker, the son of a celestial white mare, as he embarks on an epic quest to rescue three princesses from the underworld. With the help of his powerful brothers, Stonecrumbler and Ironrubber, Treeshaker battles dragons and evil forces in a vibrant, surreal world filled with bold colors and fluid animation.
Celebrated for its unique visual style and drawing heavily from Eastern European folk art, Son of the White Mare is widely considered a masterpiece of animation.
