Hipp-hopp! Budapest gets another great mural – Vuk the cartoon fox!

The team at Színes Város, responsible for many of the striking urban artworks around Budapest, have combined with the District VIII Council to create another fabulous mural on a firewall. The subject? Vuk, the revered cartoon fox, a beloved character from everyone’s childhoods.

With his cunning ruses, Vuk the orphan fox won everyone’s hearts with his adventures in the Hungarian TV animation series in the 1980s.

Now Vuk is being celebrated nearly 40 years later with a mural currently being completed at Baross utca 109, close to the District VIII nursery.

Other murals in the pipeline include depictions of the cartoon spiders, Vízipók-Csodapók, and of the cat-and-mouse games in another 1980s’ series, Macskafogó.
