Hungarian Folktales (Hungarian: Magyar népmesék) is a Hungarian animated series. Each episode is based on a Hungarian folk tale. The creators (including Marcell Jankovics) paid special attention to using Hungarian folk motives of a certain countryside region at each episode. Theme song and score are composed by Kaláka, one of the best known Hungarian folk bands.
A few stories were dubbed into English and shown in America, as part of the series Long Ago and Far Away (1989). Later, in 2017, all episodes were dubbed and made public on YouTube with over 17 million views by 2020.
