  • In 1975, Norway released its first ever full length animated feature film, and is considered a national treasure, so how come the rest of the world forgot about it?

    I never knew this movie made an impact internationally. Thought it was strictly a Norwegian thing.
    It actually broke the record in terms of ticket sales in cinemas, selling more tickets in Norway than the entire population of our country.
    It was made in 1975 and it still looks good 49 years later. Certainly a timeless classic by our standards!

    This brought back fond memories from my childhood, loved it! :)
    Fun fact: Of the dubs created of Flåklypa, only Emanuel the Gorilla kept its norwegian voice actor(even in places like Germany and Saudi Arabia where everything is dubbed). This was due to the fact that he mostly talks by making noises that no-one understands.
    Also, Gurin and the foxtail was released in 98 not 91

    I saw the premiere screening in 1975. The same year I bought the vinyl LP from the movie and a model of Il Tempo Gigante. I knew every single line in the movie and knew every scene. At the end of each lap in the car race there is a downhill. We could feel it in the stomach every time they drove down the hill. The audience loved it. It is a movie with great atmosphere and soul. A touching story.

    I saw this film no later than TODAY at a small pop-up drive in cinema hosted by some local groups for funding. It was great to see it again, the music alone makes me feel so at peace, and I really don't see a problem with the presentation of the Middle Eastern character, since he's not a villain by any means, in fact he ends up being a vital component to the success of our protagonists.

    In Denmark, this film is a classic too. We love it, and some Danes even think it is a Danish film, because the composer of this film, was a Dane.

      To be fair, I think a lot of originally Danish productions that have been copied in Norway, are thought to be originally Norwegian. So it is perfectly understandable that Danes might think it Danish, or Swedes could think it Swedish.

    The Pinchcliffe game being a re-master done right? Eh, I don't know. About 45% of the original content has been removed, and although it makes the game more streamlined, it feels a bit bare-boned. The only good part was the new racing mode, which granted, was very satisfying and well executed

    Omg! This and dunderklumpen is my childhood! Both take place in the Swedish and Norwegian mountainchain called "fjällen" in Swedish. You should really look at dunderklumpen becuse its very similair to this movie in so many cases. Specielly the feeling. Dunderklumpen is a cult movie in Sweden and is the only thing my family home of Strömsund in north Jämtland, in north Sweden. I think you would love to se dunderklumpen. The music is very similair. Very fun that you review movies like this.

    There was also a game based on the movie that released in the early 2000s. There is also a more recent remake of the game, but it is far from as good as the original game.
    It's far from being a remaster done right. It's missing a lot of mini games that were in the original game, along with various other issues.
