Synopsis

Gustavusseries was the debut for the greater part of the second generation of Hungarian animators, including József Gémes, Tamás Szabó Sípos, Béla Ternovszky and others. Among them, Marcell Jankovics (1941) animation director and scriptwriter began working at Pannonia Studio in Budapest in the early 1960s and established himself as a multi-faceted talent. He has been a naïve slapstick artist (in his Gustavshorts), an eerie interpreter of Hungarian myths in his adaptations of Johnny Corncob(1973), Son of the White Mare (1982) and an angry anti-communist jester in Inauguration (1969).
