Ronia, the Robber's Daughter
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.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
A Major Disappointment
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
When I saw this film for the first time as a child, I remember feeling like I wanted to jump in to the film and live my live as a tomboy robbers daughter. The film isn't exactly a children's movie, because frankly, it's quite scary at some points, but it's a wonderful adventure and fantasy film for the whole family. It doesn't underestimate the younger viewers and I bet the adults are as enthralled with the story and the characters. Ronja Robber's daughter was always my favorite Astrid Lingren -book and I'm glad the film did it great justice.XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX
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...)
Ronja Rövardotter is one of the best films ever made in Sweden and it will always be a classic. If you haven't seen it, then you have really missed something special. So buy, borrow or rent the film and be amazed by Astrid Lindgrens world.
Ronja Rövardotter(Robber's daughter) is a brilliant film thanks to mainly writer Astrid Lindgren, but also to the cast and scenery of this film. Astrid Lindgren's novel(which my mother read to me when I was a little boy) is a great mix between joy and adventure. The film really captures the atmosphere of the novel and for kids it is extremely exciting and funny. Especially the small fantasy-creatures, that in Swedish are called Rumpnissar, will make you laugh. When I was little this was one of my favorite films. So if you got kids (6-7+), rent it and enjoy!
