About

You can watch Johnny Corncob (1973) for free on Kanopy.

A traditional Hungarian poetic fairytale that describes the epic adventures of a young shepherd through love, war, magic and death.

This hand-drawn Hungarian epic trades standard cartoon whimsy for a surreal, folk-art aesthetic rooted in ancient poetic traditions. A young shepherd’s journey through magic and mortality unfolds with a striking visual intensity rarely seen in period animation.
