Panoptikum nr 22 (29) 2019: article “Legendy Polskie Allegro” as a transmedia narration.
The first short films from the Allegro Polish Legends series attracted great popularity. Further productions were created on the wave of this trend – short films, audiobook and music videos. A feature film was also announced. The Legends are a unique narrative in the Polish popular culture, not only because of the circumstances of its creation, but also the manner of its execution, distribution and the subject matter.
In the article, I analyze this popular series, judging whether it can be considered a transmedia narrative. Firstly, I reflect on the concepts such as an entertainment supersystem, a universe, a narrative and a transmedia story. Secondly, I relate these concepts to the Legends in an attempt to ascertain their applicability in the analysis of the series. I also reflect on the current situation of the franchise, as well as its potential and development prospects.
