The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is not one of the best movies you'll ever see, neither is it the best acting you'll ever see but it is extremely hard to find another film that is as beautiful as this. Per Åhlin is somewhat of a god for me and this is his finest work without a doubt, a movie that children enjoy based solely on the purpose that they are children.It is set in a beautiful landscape in Sweden called Jämtland, where a character called Dunderklumpen blows life into some toys because he has no one to play with, and all the character involved is out for a magical midsummer night.I showed this movie to my students, they were 11-12 years old at the time and they usually watched kind of grow-up movies and didn't not react when I showed them other movies from my childhood, but this movie have a certain kind of ability to make even the toughest man smile simply because he wants to. They laughed and they were into the story, they saw beautiful nature and they loved all the characters. The music is also very powerful in itself.A true gem, I recommend that you stop reading this and start watching the movie that has rocked me to my very core ever since I was five years old.

I have no idea what to say about this film except that it struck me as really strange.Dunderklumpen, a lonely hobo breaks into a families home and brings several toys to life then carries them off so he won't be alone. The young boy of the house pursues the animated Klumpen into the wilds of Sweden. His father sees the boy running off and pursues his son. Surreal (and potentially mind-bending) adventures follow.Nothing like laying in bed not feeling well and watching a twisted children's film. A live action film with animated characters this is one of the most bizarre films I've seen in a while. I'm not sure if its the English dub or because I'm not a kid but this film comes off as really weird, and I'm not sure its in a good way (this is definitely not Disney material). There is something about the odd mix of animation and reality that doesn't mesh for me, with some of the exploits of the characters (breaking into the house, setting the fire) seeming to be more dangerous than humorous. It reminds me of the bad "good for you" children's films that I avoided like the plague when I was growing up.Forgive me there is just something off about this film that I can't put my finger on. Maybe its because I'm not from Sweden or its of a time or a bad dub, but this film gave me the willies more than the sillies. It does have some really good animation which makes me wish it was in a better film. If you want a surreal children's film or some really good animation give it a try. Beyond that you're on your own.

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!

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.
