The Seventh Brother (also known as A Hetedik Testvér in Hungarian and Bobo und die Hasenbande in German) is a Hungarian animated feature produced in 1994, released in Germany in 1995 and the United States in 1996.In the American dub, the story is about a little puppy named Tiny who is separated from his family, a young girl and her grandfather, during a thunderstorm as he chases after a frog when the car breaks down on the side of the road. Since his family believes him to be under a blanket in the front seat, they drive off without him, leaving Tiny to fend for himself.This is only in the American version. However, in the original Hungarian and German versions, mind you, a mother, father, and daughter (who are never seen) are driving along only to stop the car and literally throw the puppy out over the ledge and into the forest before driving off again.In all three versions, Tiny (whose name is Vacak in the Hungarian version and Bobo in the German version) is then taken in by six rabbit siblings who find him the next morning, and teach him how to be a rabbit, thinking of him as their seventh brother. However, not all the animals are happy that there is a dog in the forest...All three versions have the same theme of bravery (as the rabbits and Vacak/Bobo/Tiny are thrown into many life-threatening situations, from hawks to drowning) and are filled with many songs.Interestingly enough, this movie was given out in a promotion at McDonald's in The '90s, along with Willy the Sparrow and The Addams Family. This release titles it Tiny, The Seventh Brother and is otherwise identical to other releases of the English dub.The film has a 1997 sequel called Tiny Heroes.

Defrosting Ice King: Tasli/Theo/J.C. He starts out not caring about Vacak at first. After he gets outvoted by his siblings and agrees to spend more time with Vacak, he warms up to him a little. After Vacak saves him from being eaten by a hawk, Tasli changes his mind and is happy to ask Vacak if he wants to be their brother.

Raised by Natives: While all versions of the main character were raised by humans initially, he's still a puppy when he ends up in the forest and spends much of the movie learning how to be a rabbit instead of a dog.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
 The Seventh Brother (Animation) / int_3ed23024
comment
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Unexpectedly, at that. The film runs entirely on "kid movie" logic until the end, when the rabbits need to get Tiny back home because dogs can't live on what rabbits eat, and he's suffering from malnutrition.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Tasli/Theo/J.C. He's often rude and boastful but clearly cares about all of his siblings, including, eventually, his newly adopted brother Vacak/Bobo/Tiny.

Happily Adopted: Vacak/Bobo/Tiny, until the end, where Tiny becomes weak from malnutrition, then gets injured while fighting off a weasel, and needs to be returned to the humans to get better. Tiny and the rabbits still consider themselves siblings at the end though.

Fantastic Racism
 The Seventh Brother (Animation) / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: The rabbits are afraid of Vacak/Bobo/Tiny at first, understandably since dogs/wolves are a predator species and dogs, in particular, are often trained by humans (another species they're distrustful of) to hunt rabbits. After they've warmed up to him to the point of accepting him as a family member, he sometimes gets mocked and gossiped about by the other forest animals for being a "bunny puppy" until he gains their respect.

Adaptational Early Appearance: In the Hungarian and German versions, the little girl �gnes/Angie and her grandfather only appear at the end, when the rabbits bring the puppy to their house and they adopt him. In the American version, Angie and her grandfather are Tiny's owners from the beginning, who accidentally lose him, but reunite with him thanks to the rabbits in the end.

Award-Bait Song
 The Seventh Brother (Animation) / int_a3eae597
comment
Award-Bait Song: In the American version, there are two: "There is a Place" and "How Lonely". There's the song "Gib nicht auf" ("Don't Give Up") in the German version which plays in the end credits and provides the main theme of this localization. The Italian version uses the same melody. "Nature's Pace" fits the bill for the Tiny Heroes sequel.

Dub Name Change: The puppy is named Vacak in the Hungarian version, Bobo in the German version, and Tiny in the English version. In Hungarian, the rabbit siblings are named Tasli, Okoska, Malé, Karotta, Pufi, and Musz-Musz. In the German version, their names are Theo, Julchen, Maxie, Karotta (only her name is unchanged), Puffer, and Coco. And in the English version, their names are J.C., Rebecca, Marty, Joanna, Cody, and Mimi. The little girl is named �gnes in the Hungarian version, but Angie in the German and English versions.
