Overview

Süsü is a dragon with a single head. In a world where dragons are supposed to have many heads, Süsü's one head — and with it, his warm heart, his tendency to take things literally, and his boundless desire to do good — makes him an outsider. He befriends Mirkó királyfi (Prince Mirkó), and together they encounter riddles, magic, and the peculiar logic of fairy-tale kingdoms. The series, based on Tömöry Márta's scripts and produced by Magyar Televízió, is one of the most beloved pieces of Hungarian children's television ever made.

This second DVD volume collects additional episodes from the series. The animation style is deliberately simple and warmly drawn, the dialogue is precise and literary without being inaccessible to children, and the humour works equally well for adults revisiting it. Süsü is not just a nostalgia product — it holds up as a piece of genuinely crafted storytelling.

Interesting Facts

Süsü a sárkány first aired on Hungarian television starting in 1977 and became immediately popular with multiple generations of Hungarian viewers.
The character of Süsü was voiced by Szuhay Balázs — his gentle, confused delivery became inseparable from the character in the Hungarian cultural memory.
Tömöry Márta (1930–2022) was the screenwriter who created Süsü; she was a prominent figure in Hungarian children's literature and television writing.
The single-headed dragon premise is a commentary on conformity: Süsü is "wrong" by the standards of his world, but his difference is precisely what makes him kind and trustworthy.
The series has been broadcast repeatedly on Hungarian television over four decades and remains one of the highest-rated archival children's titles in Hungary.
This DVD edition was produced and distributed by Magyar Televízió.
