Reception
editDavid Stratton wrote in Variety: "An animated history lesson for Hungarian schoolkids, Song of the Miraculous Hind has little or nothing to offer non-Magyars. Long-in-production feature from veteran Marcell Jankovics offers good, if very retro, design, and bright use of color, but little in the way of contemporary animation techniques. ... Using a mainly choral soundtrack, pic takes itself very seriously, with no attempts at humor as the lengthy saga unfolds."[2]
