i liked the soundtrack, the look, screenplay... pretty much everything. to some people who didn't know there's a series of comics a guy did. this film is based on 1 of those. there is 15 volumes total the last 1 was released in 2009. read them if you wanna find out what happend next. i am not sure but i think this is based on the first volume.
@unurautare2 Its interesting that you watched the movie even though it supposedly was lame -____- It is about mythology and Valhalla for crying out loud! That red haired guy is Thor, the god of thunder. When he gets pissed he rides around swinging his hammer, making thunder. The black haired skinny guy is Loke. Valhallas version of Judas. The screepy guy who played chess with the head in the great hall was Odin. Valhallas version of Zeus. The king of the gods in Valhalla.

Bull,I didn't even learn some stuff about mythology it's supposedly based on,just some stupid kids and some lame adult characters - that's all the movie offers,totally for kids under 4 years of age and a waste of time for anybody else that believed it was gonna be about Valhalla...
Man, this is so fantastic! Even if I've never seen it before, it reminded me a lot of my childhood! The story is the right mix of cuteness and epic mythology and gods, lawl. And the animation and drawing are perfect! This surely is one of my favorite toons ever!
This was a nice movie. I don't know what language it was spoken in, but it sounded awesome to listen too, as well as complete gibberish to me. Lol. I hope the comic has been translated into English so I can read it!
What happened is the movie was a flop and they couldn't make a sequel. If you're so interested, the movies is based on a bunch of Danish comic books. You should be able to find a copy floating around the web.
I don't think it was a flop within Denmark? But I would really have liked to see a sequel to this, where we could see the other gods and goddesses, which we meet in the comics, like Frej, Freja, Frigg, Balder, Brage and Idun...
you're right - it wasn't a flop in Denmark (no surprise), but it flopped everywhere else (not that surprising either) and that was enough bankrupt the studio. would have been nice to see a sequel with more stories. if you haven't read the comics or know the culture, then parts of the movie were kinda confusing.
Yes, even here in Sweden, we don't hear much about this movie. And that's despite us being Denmark's neighbors and brethren, and these myths being being a part of our history as well. But the comic books are rather popular (though not as much as French-Belgian comics like "Tintin" and "Asterix") and can be borrowed from most libraries.
Tjalve and Röskva are real Norse mythology characters, and yes, they stayed with the gods. I always find it sad, that they had to leave their parents, but they still had each other and seemed happy enough.
@NotOrdinaryInGames Because the movie sadly ended up being a box office bomb, costing 40 million kroner to make, the most expensive film Denmark ever made to this day. If the movie had ended up being a box office success, I have no doubt they would have made film adaptations of more volumes of the comic book series. Who knows, maybe they will try and make another film of this series in the future. Time will only tell. Here's hoping at least.
The kids stayed for the time being yes. This cartoon is in fact a very long Comic and this particular movie is just one of the stories from it, theres ALOT more to the story both before and after, it didnt end at this at all.
@NotOrdinaryInGames This is actually based on the Gylfaginning, it's a part from the Prose Edda.. More or less all charcters and events are straight up from there, including Thor's servants Þjálfi and Röskva.
I was amazed when I found out how accurate they made it :)
Altid skønt at se den her film igen. Det var godt nok lang tid siden! Tak for uploadet! :).

The ending is kind of disappointing. What happened to the kids next? Nothing? THey stayed in the Land of The Gods 4ever? Why? Why, movie, why?
NotOrdinaryInGames 1 year ago 38
@NotOrdinaryInGames
The movie is based on a comic consisting of 15 volumes where in the last volume the kids return home to midgard after experiencing Ragnarok.
What happens to Quark however remains unknown.
The film is based on partly the first, fourth and fifth volumes of the comic.
I hope this doesn't destroy your experience of the movie though :)
