In how many ways can this brave new world go wrong? Led by the pigs, the animals in an English farm rise up, drive away the people that had enslaved them and create their own state.

Note: this film is not about the Belgian royal family. The story presents us with a fictional king of Belgium (Nicolas III), who is visiting Istanbul when he learns that his country is disintegrating.

If you only mention the title Fehérlófia (Son of the White Mare) to a Hungarian, they will likely start listing the familiar characters in their head: Fanyűvő, Kőmorzsoló, Vasgyúró, and of course the delightfully named Hétszűnyű Kapanyányimonyók. But who are these mysterious figures, whose names speak to the child inside us all?
