Fails NFILM. No SIGCOV. No reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Passing mentions here and there on random blogs, but no RS. Just Another Cringy Username (talk) 00:06, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - I have also been unable to find any real coverage or reviews on the film, and I am unconvinced that the award the article mentions would count as a "major award" per WP:NFILM. Though, being a pre-internet film made in Hungary, there may be some print or non-English sources that someone else may have some luck with finding during the course of this AFD. As it stands currently, though, I would suggest Redirecting to either Pannonia Film Studio, the studio that produced it, or József Gémes, the writer/director, both of which list the film on their respective articles.

  I've found a pretty good source https://doi.org/10.1556/044.2021.00159 which talks about the film presumably as one of "eleven Hungarian animation films and four TV shows from the Soviet-era to discover how Hungarian animation in this period utilized folktales to criticize the government". Quite interesting from the abstract, but I don't have access to the article. PiccklePiclePikel (talk) 01:34, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Redirect to Pannonia Film Studio. The current refs aren't enough to meet WP:GNG or WP:NFILM, the award festival has an article but it only placed 3rd place, so it might be notable, but IMHO it doesn't meet a major award, though this is debatable. IMHO, WP:ATD makes a redirect sensible, there's no point in merging most of the article, which is just plot and character lists, at best we could have a 1-sentence mention of the award. Ping me if there are more refs, and I'd change my vote to a merge if so. VickKiang (talk) 03:33, 2 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
