Der titelgebende Sohn der Weißen Stute macht sich mit seinen zwei Brüdern auf, um den Eingang zur Unterwelt zu finden. Dort müssen drei Drachen erlegt und ebensoviele Prinzessinnen befreit werden. Der zweite von insgesamt nur vier animierten Langfilmen des Ungarn Marcell Jankovics ist sein unbestrittenes Meisterstück und Apotheose der analogen Zeichentrickkunst. Inspiriert von folkloristischen Erzählungen der europäischen Steppenvölker wird Son of the White Mare zu einem surrealistischen bis psychedelischen Galoppritt irgendwo zwischen Folk Art und Pop Art, Yellow Submarine und Jodorowsky.
Marcell Jankovics
(* 1941 in Budapest) started working at Hungary’s biggest animations studio, Pannonia, in 1960 after he had finished school. He started as “inbetweener” (phase drawer) and soon became an animator, and director. He received multiple awards at the Kecskemét Animation Film Festival since 1985, and an Oscar nomination for the animated short Sisyphus (1974), which got recent attention when it was used in a car ad during the 2008 Super Bowl. His short movie The Struggle (1977) was awarded with a Palme d'Or at Cannes. While often called "the Walt Disney of Hungary," Jankovics’s animation style has a very unique artistic expression and also abstract levels to it.
