Heroic Times (original title: Daliás idÅ‘k) is an experimental 1984note Originally screened in '83 on the Portuguese Espinho Animation Film Festival, though some sources also give '82 as the release date Hungarian animated historical drama. A production of Pannonia Film Studio, it was animated almost entirely with elaborate oil paintings by a mere ten artists under the direction of József Gémes. It is also notable for having only a single first person Character Narrator, a musical score with little to no sound effects, a strong reliance on still, picturesque images, and no named characters.The film is actually a drastically compressed and somewhat re-imagined adaptation of 19th century poet János Arany's Toldi Trilogy, a series of stories about legendary folk hero Miklós Toldi, based on a real historical figure from the 14th century — though heavily fictionalized and embellished. Toldi is a poor rural man deprived of his noble heritage's benefits, has superhuman strength and a fierce code of honor but a volatile temper, and is plagued by constant hardships. Running away from home after killing a man in anger, fate leads him through a whirlwind of knighthood, war, murder, betrayal, hope, tragedy and disillusionment, as he witnesses the degradation of the honorable life of glory he had always sought but only ever achieved for a few fleeting moments throughout his bitter existence.The film was sadly a huge critical and financial failure as audiences in Hungary rejected its unusual style. Internationally, though, it received acclaim by animation historians, claiming the "Best Feature Film" award at the 1985 Annecy Animation Festival. A different animated Toldi adaptation was proposed in 2014, to be rejected due to its absurd production costs. An animated series that only adapts the original Toldi book, helmed by former Pannonia Film Studio giant Marcell Jankovics, was released in 2021 and got a theatrical film release in 2022.In 2023, the film was remastered by the Hungarian National Film Archive for a US Blu-ray release by the company Deaf Crocodile. | |

Sarcastic Title | |
| Heroic Times (Animation) / int_22294000 | comment |
Sarcastic Title: Very little about the film's world can be called "heroic" in a positive sense (the word "daliás" could also be translated as chivalrous, valiant, noble or manly). Toldi does his best to live up to his notions of chivalry, but the movie ends ups disillusioning him at every turn. "Heroic times" only existed in his head. | |

Cruel to Be Kind: Toldi once poses as a different knight he feels sorry for to win him a tournament, only to fall in love with the princess whose hand was the prize. The unworthy knight takes the woman and turns on him. Toldi's attempt to clear the truth eventually spirals into chaos and leads to the death of the other man, and he never gets the princess. | |

Charles Atlas Superpower: Toldi can lift and throw a millstone a good distance by himself and can hold a massive wooden pole with one hand horizontally. | |

No Name Given | |
| Heroic Times (Animation) / int_ca87e3ec | comment |
No Name Given: No one is named, not even the lead. At best they only get descriptive designations like "my brother" or "the bull-horned knight". One has to be familiar with the source work to identify the characters. | |

Character Narrator | |
| Heroic Times (Animation) / int_d4efe0d | comment |
Character Narrator: The entire film is Toldi poetically reminiscing on his life. Actually a late addition, the director would have wanted no voice acting at all. The film was therefore released abroad without it. | |

Despair Event Horizon | |
| Heroic Times (Animation) / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: At the very end, when Toldi murders a bunch of jesters in rage for making comedy out of what he believes should be noble knighthood, he realizes there's no place in the new world for him anymore. | |

Limited Animation | |
| Heroic Times (Animation) / int_e034faef | comment |
Limited Animation: Selectively used. Some shots are nothing but pans and zooms with still or minimally animated backgrounds or characters, and effects like smoke are also simplistically animated. Due to the story being told through narration, there's little to no facial movement. But all actual animation very strongly averts this, as it is meticulously detailed and often high framerate. | |

Big Damn Heroes: What the combatants believe is the returning spirit of Saint Ladislas helps turn the tide when Toldi's army is on the losing end in one scene. Near the end, Toldi himself rides to the rescue of the current Hungarian King and his army, armed with only a lash. | |
