On the mountain peaks of the animation medium rests this giant of a film, ready to share its dreams with a new generation of admirers. Son of the White Mare splashes off the screen like a modernist rock painting.
A horse goddess gives birth to three powerful brothers who set out into the Underworld to save three princesses from three evil dragons and reclaim their ancestors’ lost kingdom.
“Son of the White Mare, like all fables, is about the oldest and most primary human urges, creation and destruction, and Jankovics manifests that endless cosmic cycle as his own animated dreamscape. (...) One of the absolute pinnacles of animation, (...) a masterpiece of the medium.” - Slant
