Mattia l'astuto e l'oca

This is one of the most well-known children's story in the Hungarian literature, the original goes back to 1816 by Mihály Fazekas. It's not just a well drawn, cute story of the poor boy who suffers great unjust from the rich lord, and gets big (and funny) revenge, but the whole movie flows on beautifully selected music which really gives a special feel to it. Unfortunately, as almost always happens with animated movies, it's only best when listening to the original voices, so non-Hungarians lose here some of the beauty. (DVD release did a fair job on translating the voices to English.) If you want to break free from the Hollywood-style "flashy tricks, simple story, pop music" animations then check this by all means. Recommended.

It is the best animated and one of all Hungarian movies. It is nice animated, and has a good story about a goose herdsman Matyi who has problems with the bad lord. It is a story about a revenge. The story has so a basic of justice. So I give the movie 10/10.

Revenge .. unfortunately .. is the theme of the "children's !!! " movie :- Mattie the Goose-Boy .. I was born in the eighties and of course I watched the movie .. And as children we were not aware of that at the time .. Unfortunately, IT IS a children's movie !!! However, it instills the DESIRE for revenge in the depths of innocent children, Revenge and the "urgent desire" for revenge ... hurt its owner ( the avenger himself ) ..!! .. Yes, it hurts him psychologically ... And revenge may inflame issues and ignite them more ( The REVENGE Scenario of the film is just a Fantasy) But ... There are GOOD "alternatives" for revenge ..!! Yes, of course, those good alternatives are much much better ... and from personal experience sorry for The lengTh.
