Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

jmalmsten I have trouble voting on this one...is the acting off? yes. Is the animated parts crude in quality? many times yes. is it charming as hell? YES! This is certainly just one of those movies that shouldn't work. And for most people out there in the world I have trouble imagining that this film would come out as anything but a trippy b-flick. But for the intended audience, especially those that remember Beppe as the legend of Swedish television children's stories, this is pure nostalgia I am sure.Me then? Well as I'm born in 85 I haven't got that exact connection with the guy, but then again... Most domestic children's movies over here on the telly was reruns from the 70s and 80s anyways so I am one of those last few that watched public service films without being abnormal.No, the reason for me to pick up this DVD at the local library was more about a dormant homesickness. And for that it gets a big plus, as it is shot in the province of Jämtland. And seeing the landscape just made me feel good.The plot then. When Beppe is going to put his son Jens to bed for the night, a strange journey begins. An animated fellow, named Dunderklumpen, has kidnapped some brought-to-life puppets and a mysterious treasure chest. Jens and the baby goat takes up the pursuit while daddy Beppe and his friend, the bumblebee with a sweettoth, on their trail.They meet several weird animated figures and a lot of singing and dancing ensues to fill out the basically thin plot. Everything except some live-action moments are animated by another Swedish legend, Per Åhlin. And among the voice-cast we hear people like Gösta Ekman as En Dum En (a dumb one) and the likes in the Swedish soundtrack.It's a slow moving and trivial adventure padded out with singing and dancing and wonderful characters in the typical jamska dialect. It's crude, yes... and it has a gap in the audience between age 5 and 20 that won't get it at all even in the native language. But for everyone else, the ones that have the right mindset for it, it's a wonderful adventure for those who get into the whole thing.I give it an 8 as it isn't for everyone and the execution is sometimes overtly dodgy. But don't let that fool you. Try it out! You might even like it. And come over here and have a visit while your'e at it!

Magnus Lindvall An excellent movie for the younger kids, a beautiful picture for those who love Sweden's nature, and a moment of sweet memories for those who were kids in the 70's.Per Åhlin (also the father of famous "Karl-Bertil Johnsson") really makes this movie a little less ordinary. Very nice characters and atmosphere. Summary; A very good movie, well worth the time!

ethylester This is such a weird movie! I have only seen it with English dubbing, but it is fun to watch, anyway. It's incredibly strange, including the fairy, the talking house, the funny voices and odd concepts. Dunder Klumpen sings an awesome song about being "Dunder Klumpen" and how he every age, not just one. He is a little boy and an old man. It's very interesting!My favorite part is when the fairy comes from the sky to the little blond boy by the river and tells him to be weird. Like jump around and do weird things. Finally, she rewards him by making a peanut butter sandwich appear in the river for him to eat! Who would want a soggy peanut butter sandwich from a river? It's so funny! The teddy bear that comes to life has some funny/odd lines, too. He is very cute. I highly recommend this movie to people who like cult movies. It's just so strange and wacky, you sit there in disbelief and wonder at the magic of this movie. It caused some of my friends to cry from laughing so hard due to it's overwhelming strangeness. Watch it!

headlessannie This movie is fabulous! It's weird and surreal but it's a must-see. I loved it when I was a young girl and I still can't help but love it to this very day. You will smile in spite of yourself and stare wide-eyed at the screen in disbelief at what you're seeing. The characters are endearing and the story is quirky. You will be forever changed by it.
