    TRADITION OF ANIMATION AND HISTORY
    SHORT PRESENTATION OF THE HISTORY OF ANIMATION IN MAXIMUM 500 CHARACTERS (for example main awards and authors, important milestones, trends...)The 1980s would prove to be a peak of Hungarian animation. Increasingly bold use of irony and allegory portrayed the Hungarian condition under Communist rule and during this period a number of Hungarian films received high accolades and prestigious awards including Ferenc Rofusz' 1981 Oscar for A Légy ("The Fly"). The decade would also mark a renaissance in technical experimentation with the exploration of many non-traditional graphic media such as plasticine, sand, coal, textiles, and computer animation. During this period the first feature-length films based on serials were created and proved to be quite popular. 
    Today: 159 festival awards, 35 animation studios with permanent activities since the begining of the Hungarian Media Patronage Program  (2011), digital 2D and 3d and traditional animation as well.
