LouHomey From my favorite movies..

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

P.S. Paaskynen The appeal of the film Dunderklumpen for adults lies mainly in its nostalgic walk down memory lane to the age of innocence. The film is a document of the idealistic world view prevalent in Sweden in the early seventies. It is an eloquent nature idyll, in which children are innocent, fathers are clumsy, money is the root of all evil, criminals are good people at heart and can be rehabilitated and poor, elderly people have a lease on true natural wisdom.Many of these traits are also present in the work of Astrid Lindgren and Beppe Wolgers was closely involved in the dramatisation of some of her books. The story's idealism is thus deeply rooted in its time and that forms part of its charm. The beautiful natural settings and the jazzy music by Toots Thielemans do the rest.

dbborroughs 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.

ethylester This is such a weird movie! I have only seen it with English dubbing, but it is fun to watch, anyway. It's incredibly strange, including the fairy, the talking house, the funny voices and odd concepts. Dunder Klumpen sings an awesome song about being "Dunder Klumpen" and how he every age, not just one. He is a little boy and an old man. It's very interesting!My favorite part is when the fairy comes from the sky to the little blond boy by the river and tells him to be weird. Like jump around and do weird things. Finally, she rewards him by making a peanut butter sandwich appear in the river for him to eat! Who would want a soggy peanut butter sandwich from a river? It's so funny! The teddy bear that comes to life has some funny/odd lines, too. He is very cute. I highly recommend this movie to people who like cult movies. It's just so strange and wacky, you sit there in disbelief and wonder at the magic of this movie. It caused some of my friends to cry from laughing so hard due to it's overwhelming strangeness. Watch it!

headlessannie 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.
