Természet- és állatábrázolás Dargay Attila rajzfilmjeiben
Representations of nature and animals in Attila Dargay’s cartoons

Summary/Abstract: My research offers an analysis of the environmental messages and nature representations in feature-length Hungarian animation films produced by Pannónia Studio during the 1970s and 1980s. The focus of this current study falls on Attila Dargay’s four animated films (Mattie the Goose-boy (Lúdas Matyi, 1977), The Little Fox (Vuk, 1981), The Treasure of SwampCastle (Szaffi, 1984), and Captain of the Forest (Az erdő kapitánya, 1988). These films are distinguished by their pronounced environmental messages, which, although not always central to the narrative, are integral to their thematic structure. The research employs various qualitative methodologies, with a significant focus on ecocriticism literature. The selected period is pivotal both for the history of Pannónia Studio, and the Hungarian environmental movement, marking the “unfolding” phase of nature conservation in Hungary and the rise of modern environmental activism.
