Dalias Idok is an Hungarian 1984 animated feature directed by József Gémes about chivalry. Hungarian animations are a world aside from many countries and have different approaches and themes from the majority of the counties (for example see "Habfürdö' from 1980). This is also the case with this animation that have an painting graphic style that resemble an oil panting. It is It is an adaptation of the Toldi trilogy, a 19th-century epic poem in three parts by János Arany (1817 – 1882) written in 1800, inspired by the legendary Miklós Toldi, who served in the Hungarian King Louis the Great's army in the 13th century. The trilogy recounted the medieval stories of Toldi as the king's champion. Miklós Toldi (c. 1320 – November 22, 1390) was a Hungarian nobleman from Bihar County of the Kingdom of Hungary, who is remembered as a legendary strong hero in Hungarian folklore, long thought of being a legend but later fund to be a real man. You have all the features from a classic chivalry story here, from heroic acts to tragedy, lost loves, battles and a bitter end. I watched the restaurated work from the original negative and magnetic tapes, in 4K made in Hungary in 2022, for the National Film Institute - Film Archive and Lab of the country. My score: a 8.5 out of 10.0 / A - .
