Ronia, the Robber's Daughter Trailers

Ronia lives happily in her father's castle until she comes across a new playmate, Birk, in the nearby dark forest. The two explore the wilderness, braving dangerous Witchbirds and Rump-Gnomes. But when their families find out Birk and Ronia have been playing together, they forbid them to see each other again. Indeed, their fathers are competing robber chieftains and bitter enemies. Now the two spunky children must try to tear down the barriers that have kept their families apart for so long.

Reviews
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
SayMyNameBitches Its really hard for me to describe how wonderful this film is and how much magic it holds. The story centers around a young girl named Ronja and her family of robbers living in a castle that got split in two parts by an earthquake during her birth. One day another robber family moves inn to one part of the castle and a young boy called Birk belongs to that family and the two children start to develop a brother and sister relationship, but the two robber families have a history of rivalry witch keeps them apart. Fed up with their families they run away to live together alone.Astrid Lindgren has some of the most wonderful children stories and Ronja Rövardotter is most definitely one of her best and the film does a perfect justice to the book.Every children should watch this wonderful film
snigel-1 This is a true masterpiece. Brought to you by one of the most notorious and thoughtful directors in Swedish history of film, together with one of our most renown authors - Astrid Lindgren - the one that wrote the stories about Pippi Longstockings amongst many others.In Ronja Rövardotter, you'll be able to experience some of the mysteries and part of the beauty that enshrouds Sweden. Our stunning nature and the alluring folklore are two of the things Lindgren has used to help create a foundation for this story to grow on. Unlike many other movies, it can be seen by both children and adults, as it teaches everyone important lessons about life... and brings forth creatures and beings that only the fantasy of a master-author could come up with. It is partly a grim tale, but the more-part is about love and friendship and how we can learn to understand one-another better.If you like fantasy and adventure movies, you'll probably love Ronja. If you like nature and beautiful scenery, you'll probably love Ronja. Personally, I think this movie is a must-see for everyone and gave it a 10. My own rate would've been 8 1/2, but seeing as how some weirdos had given it an 1, it deserved the boost in grade.I hope that it has been translated or dubbed to English, but if not, I may try to fix a subtitle file for it in case anyone might be interested.
Edwin (Ettepet) Gosh, what a refreshing movie!!!We live in a time that some countries forbid children to sit on Santa's lap, because of what they consider 'proper conduct'. This movie is in so many ways the opposite: unspoilt, free, warm and caring.Children as the adolescent main characters, with adults mainly behaving like small children. This movie is about fun, adventure and values in live, and is family entertainment at its best!!! Cudo's and many mad props to those who created it. And I'm not even starting about Peter Jackson's the Lord of the Rings (so many years later) or those funny creatures that question everything.... Go see it!!!!!! (why is there still no DVD?)
boatsman I believe that especially all Swedish people born in the 70's have a very special relation to this wonderful movie of Astrid Lindgren. Since I am one of those born in the 70's, this movie is a part of my childhood and I can't give it anything less than a perfect score. One of those movies that every parent are obligated to let your children watch! (Although it is a movie for children, I also believe that parents can appreciate it, by the way...)
