The story and the narrative was very good, the black and white themed animation wasn't bad.

He sure was badass near the end with that dragon wishing thingy, by summoning a dragon horse, an army and becoming a general to that huge army of his. He sure drove those invaders out of the castle, was able to save the nation and have a happily ever after with the princess.

Such a good folktale, 6/10.

"one's happiness ought to be earned by oneself"

that was a good folktale, I really like to see the improvement the animation compared to the older 1918 animations, we get to see more ambitious thing, like an entire army moving whereas is used to be one ot two charachter at a time.

Impressive animation and a charming folktale. I watched it with Gabor Szabo - Dreams playing in the background since it's a silent film. The musick worked perfectly. The track even ends when the film does.

We can see difference between this animation and the ones from 1918. I really liked the fact that there was a narration but still I was missing the music, it'd be better with it. The history and animation was good.

I love the umbrella scene, imagine defeating a dragon with umbrella together with snow on top of it.
