Hungarian Folk Tales: One-Eyed, Two-Eyed, Three-Eyed (S02E01) 

The mom has fake eyes :D

And when they peered out the door they played their instruments for the amount of eyes they have

well duh

800th like!

I noticed lel

:(( right

I thought the goat will be reborn from the tree that appeared after she buried its bones

@@shiningcometgoat is an apple tree. It was reborn

I was crying when I saw this movie in my childhood. Why didn't she escape with the goat?

@@whiterussian22maybe the goat was re-born as the tree

I feel so too.

My dad

I don't know if I should laugh or what xd

Well, yeah? That's what most fairy tales are. That's why they're often so simple and formulaic

You're right. Even in today's world differences are seen to be accepted very rarely .

Actually, she didn't like her 2 eyed daughter because she was too common

It doesn't justify her neglecting and abuse at Two-eyed.

​@@rubirajkhowa2560I sure hope that you were sarcastic with that comment.

@@rubirajkhowa2560 In today’s world if you aren’t diverse on the outside then your rejected.

My thoughts exactly. Now the evil (step) sisters is quite a common trope in Fairy Tales. the girl from Beauty and the Beast also has two spiteful sisters.

A lot of movies or fairytales originate from old stories like these Jon solo on RU-vid dedicated most of his channel to explaining fairytale origins

But then the story would be longer still.

@@GIRLZ-ARE-HAWT I was quoting the narrator's closing line.

That's the German version. This is the Hungarian version, as you can see by the blonde guy's glorious mustache.

They tried to starve her to death, killed her goat and ate it in front of her. A simple apology isn't enough, they don't deserve any forgiveness.

So what is the meaning behind this?

@@victorlolxd7347yeah they didn’t explain it anything.

Is this a part of bibile or something?

Neither did I

most likely because she thought herself prettier than the two eye girl and to cover it meant she wouldn't be as attractive to the man

well one way or another he would find it (their goal was to marry) so it sort of defeats the purpose

In Assamese folk tale there is also a story exactly like this and of course few moments were different. Seeing the similarities made me fascinated. It's crazy how folktales from different countries, languages and cultures are so similar.

Oh Lordy! Fr

Jeez this sounds like yall are living in the 19th century, hope its better for you now

If you notice, in the beginning of story, the mother favors her two eldest daughters. She checks their clothes and treat them affectionately, while ignoring the youngest daughter. Besides, it's human's right to choose whoever one likes/loves and it's wrong to direct your anger to innocent people just because you're rejected. Mother and her eldest daughters are completely immature. They can't handle rejection gracefully and they abuse innocent youngest daughter. I won't blame the prince tho. He's honest with his preference and doesn't force his way to get the youngest daughter. He doesn't pretend to accept the eldest or the middle one. The problems come from mother and two eldest daughters, they are envious and cruel.

А я думаю, откуда я могу помнить сюжет такой сказки и почему он кажется знакомым. А это аналог Крошечки-Хаврошечки😂 Здорово. Не совсем понимаю, в чем вывод истории...типо првезло моадшей тусить с волшебными существами и колдунами?)

What if they don’t wanna see it that way because they’re the sisters? ❤

Is it a coincidence that all the pretty ones in these stories are blonde?😂

​​@@kchashet310 No. "Fair" is the old term for pretty AND blond. Having a pale complexion and bright hair was a beauty ideal in medieval Europe.

This is legit my friend.he carries an UNO reverse card everywhere. EVERYWHERE

The episode in a nutshell

I would ask the goat if she could introduce me to her boss I need to ask him for a favour. You know, goats are Satan's little helpers.

Pardon me are you Aaron burr sir Glad I’m not the only one who caught that lol (P.s love you user name.)

I mean...that usually happens in Hungary....you don't have talking goats in your country??

@@bukowskianchurch8191 We did ... But currently we do not have the Austro/Hungarian empire anymore. No no not anymore ;) would you like to come back c: I'm a great leader.

welcome to hungarian folklore, my dude people not acknowledging paranormality is a recurring theme in these

I didn't get it at first, but once I saw it- I SAW IT. lol

7:42 😉😏 lol

Thst asssss

Ugh just stop, keep that to yourself

Right? I mean like mező that ségi right on over here, sir

I asume it is a metaphora for inner beauty. In all the tails characters with ugly inner world would pictured ugly on appirience. And characters with kind heart are beautiful and also get help from spirits, animals and fairies. As if the world itself helping the kind hearted people and help them out, serving the justice on the way. At the end it is a fairytale, it speaks with symbols and mataphoras.

Bingo

Nah you don’t need to be born beautiful, just need to have 2 eyes

Izzy plastic surgery

@@bji2664 yes you are right

yeah no clue why this is here really but oh well

Me

Amnethyste I see an evil story about an evil family of selfish abusers obsessed with beauty and the rich blonde man who would marry the big breasted blonde. No thanks. Not a story for a black man- I’d have been the bear like man that the prince slew if I was in this story. Nobody who isn’t blonde lives happily

Me

Me I actually watch communist propaganda videos

@Light Yagami Despite the weirdness of their appearance, the one-eyed and three-eyed sisters look much prettier than the mother. The one-eyed sister even looks like a gentle character you'd take under your wing out of pity, who subsequently reveals her unnoticed appeal just by being herself! It's a shame she has to be a villain...

Light-kun??! 😂😂

Ikr

She probz has tons of wisdom because of it!

What of all the eyes combined and it was 6 eyes each that would be the best anything to watch

That dude that writing your version must has cyclop fetish...

Even in the Grimm version, two eyes is the middle child and abused for not being as extraordinary as her older and younger sisters

I think the mother wasnt a human after all and she wanted to have monster children. Two Eyed was too much humanous

That's the version I remember.

Why the hate for normalcy? My guess is the abnormal eyes were a symbolism of the other sisters craziness & out of the ordinary maybe or just unattractive because it's not healthy having missing body parts or extra ones.

The epilepsy tree

no it's an acid tree.

No. It is the thing that the kids who went to the hospital after watching the porygon episode of pokemon were afraid of.

I thought at first he said pineapple tree and I was like “that’s not what a pineapple plant looks like”

@@unknownyuserishy8335 the applelepsy tree

Welp, I'm dead at the first two steps already XD

gotta dye my hair blonde then 😪

Being Blonde means being good, Being good means can easily go be a gold digger when getting married. I like that idea hehehe

Or you know, don’t be a goat

Relle M. Cause I’m the oldest and brunette and my youngest sister is blonde. I’m gonna be the evil witch of the family and she’s gonna get married to a Prince George or sum shit lol.

Exactly

That actually make a more beautiful explanation to this story Family is more beautiful then jealousy

Or that goats are really cool (jk)

@Unproductive Incorporated Nice proile pic. What is it?

Beautiful.

Lol

Marry someone against their will easily like that 😭

you would think so

no

That goat could've been worth thousands in gold coins

Plot Twist! It became The Icon Of Sin.

Jealousy is a heck of a feeling. One has no boundaries when they’re envious. I mean, Cain killed his own brother over it.

Ginger doesn't want to give a last name. Depleted uranium.

Nah...that was made right after the explosion in Chernobyl. peeps looked like that.

You mean before she got date raped by some demon

Umm....idk...magical eye drugs maybe?

Took a bath in nuclear waste or some shit

Goodiesfanful It also highlights the issue of favouritism - middle siblings are often the most overlooked!

@@sandradermark8463 true but in my family Im the middle child yet I think my mother favors me sometimes over my two brothers cause I listen and does as she asks.

middle lives matter!

*single children cant relate*

They actually did a study on this and people treat the older children more carefully and in general better with food etc and it gets lessened for each child

Daniel Degeratu me too the channel we had in Serbia was Minimax I guess it was Romanian but translated ♥️ good memories

@@anastasijarangelov2705 I saw it when I was a child too...they were wery popular cartoon in Hungary

Minimax for life😂 I'm moldovian

@@anastasijarangelov2705 Yesss, that's where I watched them too

But I suppose you Romanians have a nice gallery of own folk tales, right? Just wondering/asking.

Maybe he knew what they were like on the inside.

In the Grimm's version they were also wicked witches with sin in their viens. So it wasn't just because they were ugly

Only in the beginning. Their jealousy is what ultimately drove them.

In Russian version, a family had a daughter and the mother turned into a caw but they didn't know it was her. She turned into a cow becuase her daughter dropped something inside one big hole (if I remember correctly) and he re-married and the woman from her first marrige had 3 daughters (one with 1 eye with 2 eyes and with 3 eyes) and then the father left to work or something and the bullied her. Then she spend time with cow and she halped her like in this story and when her step-sisters came to spy on her she would sing. But for 3 eyed one she sang but she forgot she had 3 eyes so she didn't sing for all 3 eyes but just for 2 so she saw happened, they killed the cow blablabla same like here

Yes, but the whole point of the story is a cautionary tale against jealousy. Were the two sisters kinder they might have yet found someone.

Dumb for The Plot

Cuz it's a fairy tale, plot holes are kinda part of the game.

Things I don't get: Why the 1-eyed and 3-eyed sisters couldn't attract anyone if the issue wasn't that they were mean (and one doesn't know that they were mean before the entire "no one wants to marry them" issue). The odd eyes were still symmetrical, and one would think personality would count. Why the 3-eyed sister didn't just hide her third eye like she did when she was with her 2-eyed sister in the field, if the third eye was the issue. Why the mother didn't just marry off the 2-eyed sister first. If the dude wants her, he wants her. Also, one down, and you don't have the eye competition going on. Why the 2-eyed sister didn't try not eating on the days when she was accompanied by her sisters. I mean, it sucks, but not as badly as losing the goat. Why the 2-eyed sister didn't run away with the goat. Why the 2-eyed sister agreed with hiding under the bed. Why the dude didn't ask about the 2-eyed sister, but instead demanded whomever could get him a golden apple. He had seen her before, and supposedly loved her rather than golden apples.

Pinkeed even with a magic goat that brings food, being a woman alone with no roof above her head would be a dangerous thing in the time that the story was written.

Phalidamyle

As in

Everything to make her unhappy. 🤨

why not at least sell the goat? if the goat can spontaneously create food, that would probably be worth a shitton of money??

Wat do you mean by thicc

@@kbombrocks8941 thick

His ass?

Peachanne Fgftcu that's an appropriate amount of thiccness

QUIET skskskks im eating 💀💀💀💀

Arkham Knight do you know how many goats have been used for sacrifices and for their blood but no you want justice for a cartoon goar

Oh no! I want to marry the two eyed girl but I'm dummy thicc and the clap of my ass cheeks keeps alerting her mother and sisters!

Good im not the only one who thinks he has a big ass

Yare yare... oof.

These were my thoughts as well. It's a more modern, sympathetic perspective because we have learned through current stories that people are not usually what they seem, and people shouldn't be judged purely on their looks. We also know that being ridiculed and othered your whole life can make you bitter, which makes the sisters seem really sympathetic, contrary to the story trying to have the listener strictly on the side of the youngest. Fairytales unfortunately had this shortcoming, being that in order to have colorful villains, they were often given deformities where the 'outside matched the inside', when in reality, evil people can too be quite beautiful. In all honesty, though I can see where this story is coming from, basically saying that being jealous and cruel will cause you only harm, but these simple types of aesops morals are difficult to justify when we know that such a black and white outlook often does more harm than good. Everyone in this story ends up coming off as petty and cold. The youngest is born beautiful, is blessed by magic and wisdom (old man giving her the info to make the magic tree, magic goat giving her food for nothing in exchange), and beloved by the first man to see her. She never had to lift a finger for things to go well for her, except not be evil, I guess. 0/10 lol

They were not exactly great characters inside either. The mother is worst of all though since she is neglecting her own daughter choosing her oen desire over her daughter's good.

No one asks for deformations. It's a lottery.

That is very true but they chose to let their jealousy get the best of them and harm their sister just because she was favored over them by one guy. So I don't feel that sad for them. Regardless of whether they had two eyes or not, it's more of a problem of jealousy rather than a 'they didn't ask to be born that way' situation. There are many good people who aren't physically desirable by the common standards but the sisters chose to let the outside reflect the inside. Something that also should be considered is the fact that the mom didn't try to cheer the 2 daughters on and supported their jealousy.

hello! I just want to say I had a similar childhood, except I've grown up on these stories watching them on VHS, and I also learned to read very early (my sister taght me) to read tales for myself. My mom tried a few times to read bedtime stories but 10/9 times she fell asleep and I didn't get the end of the story. Anyway I also find these stories soothing, and I only saw disney princess movies when I was 20-22. (I read the Grimm originals though before) Oh and we are at the same age. :) Have a nice day I wish you "good recovery!"

Close in age and a similar story.

I would read you stories. 😌

I think it stayed at the mothers and sisters house to torment them. They so badly want an apple but can never get it. I think it’s supposed to taunt them.

Jennie Nguyen This makes sense! Good point. :D

In one of the other Cinderella versions. Cinderella had to ask her goat lay me a table to get food. So I was kinda surprised that the youngest had to say the same thing

acla9000 none of them Deserve this treatment - it’s a story about the prettiest girl being rewarded without meriting reward and her sisters who no one would marry because they weren’t hot

Twilight Gardens presentations but the sisters and the mom were terrible to her because the man loved her and it wasn’t her fault, they didn’t feed her and they killed her goat. She did deserve a happy ending.

Know this is late but you'd really like Howl's moving castle the novel it actually talks about that exact trope.

I think it’s symbolic. The youngest child represents the greatest change. It usually is resisted, sometimes is difficult, but once that great change happens everyone (who can be) is better. The elder siblings represent potential change that is too similar to their parents (the parents are usually the ones with the problem, so a new solution is needed).

Underdog sympathy according to one theory.

Takeyia Twitty I was just about to suggest that! Such a fantastic novel, as well.

Leeroy Jenkins it’s interesting though because historically the oldest was more likely to die at the ends of their younger siblings, especially princes and nobles who were set to inherit power and wealth.

Leela

Lolz

Futurama anyone ?

Same. Kinda like the oldest one tho.

​@@asillygoofygoober the three eyed girl was EXTRA THICC

I would imagine he did not choose them for similar reasons here at least later on in the story.

XD

Haha

Your dad's version was pretty cool! 😆👍

Why stop at three bullets why not ask for a woodchipper?

In the Brothers Grimm's version was just this, One -Eyed was the oldest, Two-Eyed the middle one and Three-Eyed the youngest.

Marcio Roberto 2-Eyes the heroine being the middle sister: It also highlights the issue of favouritism - middle siblings are often the most overlooked!

Same

Dude, I want a magic goat that evaporates my personal fat despite how much food I make and eat. "Hey, Magic Goat, I promise I'll cook for you!" 💛🐐💛

I’d rather a magic bear because then the table of food would be bigger.

A regular goat can also make you food. Thats how goats work.

fairy tales logic

Is that a bible reference?

6:53, Pick the Apples yourself dude!

me when people say hi to me ;_; jk

A man after my own heart

and the fact the middle had one in the middle of her head didn't scare you? to be fair though I liked the way she looked

?

It's rude tho if someone actually have 3 eyes.

She must secretly be Garnet

But the two eyed sisters dark scleras didnt disturb you? That crap freaked me out.

Rush desher upokotha!!

To literal an interpetation. Folk lore tends to focus on symbolism. The number of eyes each sister had could represent their knowledge and experience of the world. Whence the older sister with a third eye could outwit the younger sister with two eyes. Purely a guess though.

Because it’s a fairy tale

And because lying is immoral. Think the husband would eventually find out and then what.

Tbh the one eyed girl is very pretty to me

Ikr? I thought the one eyed daughter could cover one side of her face with her hair, so no one could tell she didn't have the other eye. As for the three eyed sister, she could just use a bandana like you said.

You took the words right out of my mouth!

@David Santamaria cuz in most of the hungarian folktales animations the "nice and good" characters have blonde hair and if they have siblings they are the often the youngest (sry for my bad english)

@@kiwu8912 if you dont like it dont watch it ---who is forcing you??? Go back to Disney diversity princesses

@@ferencnehuszar684 its not that i dont like it, its just a coincidene i noticed

@@kiwu8912 I have read lots of folk tales, hair colour is rarely mentioned in them. Ask the animators why they used so many blondes . Nothing to do with the original story . As for the 3 eyed girl 3 is a magical number in folk tales . everything is symbolism in folk tales ! 1 3 7 etc . Gold silver, bronze, diamond hair or other objects also ----NOBLE GEMs or METALS

@@ferencnehuszar684 Ok

Right?

You have point, but you overthinking a bit. In the hungarian folk tales usually the youngest child is the one who don't loved. And usually they are the smartes or the one who save his/her siblings, family. Its just a theme in it

@@queensy_pearl6695 Writers must be the youngest. 😂
