Ronja Rövardotter plot

On the night that Ronja, daughter of robber chief Mattis, is born, a violent lightning splits Mattis' castle in two. Robber chief Bork, Mattis's nemesis, fathers a son, Birk, that same night and stealthily occupies the other half of the fortress. While Ronja and Birk become inseparable friends, Mattis and Bork are constantly at loggerheads. When strange soldiers invade the area, the two robber chieftains are forced to work together.

Nice youth film with beautiful pictures and beautiful music, especially the singing men, among others in the opening scene. And what a funny language, say. If you listen carefully, it is still quite a bit to follow (but I was happy with subtitles ).

The story is not too difficult and still fun. Only the adults (read: the adult men) are very stupid, mind you. I understand that that is part of it, not like with Pippi Långstrump, but sometimes it seems like they are not completely right in the head. A bit exaggerated. Meanwhile, Ronja is smart and is always right. I think Astrid Lindgren was not enjoyable as a child, at least I can imagine that.

Watched this again recently. What a wonderful film it is Personally I think this is a lot better than Pippi Longstocking. I think it has to do with the successful fantasy input. The nice thing is that they kept the original Swedish voices here and did not use Dutch dubs like with Pippi. The story and the friendship between Ronja and Birk is heartwarming. Definitely a film that can be rewatched every now and then. Too bad there was so little attention for this during my youth.

Excellent film adaptation of Astrid Lindgren's children's book, but that could not be otherwise, because Lindgren herself also wrote the script of the film. The film has everything a good children's film should have: energetic characters, a touching friendship full of youthful innocence between Ronja and Birk, the passing of the seasons, life with nature, some nice fantasy elements. Children sometimes appear to be wiser than their elders and the quarrel between the hot-tempered robber leader Mattis and his daughter Ronja feels human. It is a timeless film with happy and sad moments that make me call this one of the very best children's book film adaptations.
