Tamás Patrovits (aka “Patro”) is a 40 year-old Hungarian animator and illustrator – and also the president of ASIFA Hungary. Six months ago he started an online Flash cartoon series for one of Hungary’s biggest news sites. Says Patro:
I make these alone, sometimes with a musician. All the shorts are made in 5-10 days, and are about our Hungarian public life and political bullshit – created with with old-style graphic design mixed with Flash animation. The series becomes more popular every month. Please take a look my blog site. Unfortunately its in Hungarian, but I plan English subtitles in the future.

This is absolutely great! I’ve seen quite a bunch of “retro style animation”, but none was as perfect as this – perfect not in imitating, but in general filmmaking, styling, timing, sound.
recalls me the bruno bozzetto animation ‘europa vs italia’..
Very nice stuff! The gags were funny and the timing was excellent!
Man,
Just my luck. I can speak Hungarian fluently, but I cant read a lick. So, I got all excited and as it turns out they don’t say a word. Aldo, the average Hungarian word is 70 letters long. Far to many for me to read phonetically. Great animation though.
Cheers,
andy
Those are fantastic. They say everything with no words. Brilliant!
Ha! I don’t think the public transport in Hungary is any worse than in Mexico. In fact we have a saying here:
What do Santa Claus give SOBs on Xmas?
Answer: a bus! ;-)
red pill junkie, I’ll bet the Maltese public transport beats both yours and Hungary’s in badness.
Our buses are World War II relics! =P

You don’t need to know the language to get the jokes. Great stuff!
red pill junkie: but it is. you can never know when will your bus catch fire:

sometimes it’s just the breaks stop functioning and your bus runs into a building

the conditions are almost the same if you pick the tram or the trolley. i never dare riding the underground, what if it catches fire in the tunnel? by the way, if you choose to walk, a building may fall on you:

all in all, if you’re bored with your life, try Hungary, where you can always expect the unexpected. it’s a fun place to live!
Dear animation people,
Thank you for your friendly remarks on my animation!
I tried to do my best. I wish you the same.
Have a nice day…
