Hungarian animation has a long, award-winning legacy, from Oscar-nominated features to decades of acclaimed shorts, service work, and co-productions. As Annecy launches its Tribute to Hungarian Animation this week, the industry is highlighting:
• 111 years of Hungarian animation history, plus bold new voices
• Major contributions across 2d, 3d, vfx, and stop-motion
• Studios like Kecskemétfilm, known for work on The Secret of Kells, Chico & Rita, The Red Turtle, and The Most Precious of Cargoes
• Recent co-productions, including White Plastic Sky, Tony, Shelly and the Magic Light, and John Vardar vs the Galaxy
• High-end service work, from feature films to Netflix’s Love, Death & Robots
• A new platform, Hunimation.com, connecting global collaborators with Hungarian animation talent
With Annecy spotlighting the country’s legacy and its next generation of artists, this is an interesting moment to look at what Hungary offers for world-building, co-production, and specialty animation work.
Has anyone here worked with Hungarian studios or collaborated internationally on animation projects? What was your experience?

Ethan Hawke is a genius. I've always appreciated how he can seamlessly flow in and out of mainstream and indie worlds. The best actors do.

Ethan is a consummate professional. Working with him on First Reformed was a delight as he executed with precision and great style, with the help of Paul Schrader of course. A good example of star power elevating beyond face value with talent and purpose.

That makes sense. The best actors think like producers too.
