SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Curt Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Irena Holli Let me first write this, the movie does not match 150 million dollar blockbusters by the giants like Disney or 20th Century Fox, instead, its a cute family movie targeting the smaller children.I have watched it several times with my two daughters, on DVD. They enjoyed it as much as I did.We have watched it several times, and although it doesn't match the mega blockbusters, its still a cute and funny movie to enjoy with your kids.It also shows Nordic mythologies, teach kids values etc.The the young kid, Junior, who is our hero, tries new ways to do things right, and we really enjoyed how he tried to put things right.Enjoy!

fredm-908-318795 The kid is defiant and irresponsible. Pretty much all the main characters do awful things to each other, with a warped sense of right and wrong.The only character that is somewhat normal is the mother gnome.Also, there is a bipolar hedgehog who is pretty amusing.But basically, you have the kid who steals stuff from his dad, parents who snoop on the kid, and a troll who kills his father and laughs it off.Then, the moral of the story is that technology is good and will solve all problems.Would not recommend for children.

jertjitzboo If you are used to American cinema then this film will probably seem a bit off to you as it appears to be a Swedish product.Great effort in character development which is sadly offset by the weak plot line. The film did a poor job keeping my kids interested and, frankly, seemed superfluous to them. Some entertaining moments for adults willing to pay attention which is a charming trait it shares with Disney but there is not enough of it. I would not go out of my way to watch this movie and I would not recommend it particularly. In the event you are torn between watching this and another movie that is also not particularly good you won't be completely disappointed.

jloo4061 The story is set in Scandinavian forest. Young junior struggles to go his own path, but his father wants him to follow his path. This is small White Shark's first CG movie, and I cannot say more than "Im impressed". CG movies has been until today only produced by large studios with 100million+ budget.This movie was produced for less than three (3?) million, and it still keeps the kids stuck to the screen for 75 minutes. My two children loved it, and my younger son wanted to see it again. It's not a movie for the teenage kid, but rather for a 5-7 year old. The music is fantastic, with a great atmosphere.If i would to put any negative, then the trolls are a bit scare for the younger kids, but that is of course a troll! The facials are also not the best and it feels sometimes as it was not put too much love about the expressions. But then again, with the small budget, i can understand this.Regarding the animations, its OK, not a Kung-Fu Panda or a Bolt, but then not worse than any other mid-budget movie. I would say the animations are like Ice Age or Valiant.Its a different movie and Im excited to see what this young studio will come up with in the future. A bit slow in the beginning, but definitely picks up the pace at the end.I give it 7 out of 10.
