I never knew this movie made an impact internationally. Thought it was strictly a Norwegian thing. It actually broke the record in terms of ticket sales in cinemas, selling more tickets in Norway than the entire population of our country. It was made in 1975 and it still looks good 49 years later. Certainly a timeless classic by our standards!

This brought back fond memories from my childhood, loved it! :) Fun fact: Of the dubs created of Flåklypa, only Emanuel the Gorilla kept its norwegian voice actor(even in places like Germany and Saudi Arabia where everything is dubbed). This was due to the fact that he mostly talks by making noises that no-one understands. Also, Gurin and the foxtail was released in 98 not 91

I saw the premiere screening in 1975. The same year I bought the vinyl LP from the movie and a model of Il Tempo Gigante. I knew every single line in the movie and knew every scene. At the end of each lap in the car race there is a downhill. We could feel it in the stomach every time they drove down the hill. The audience loved it. It is a movie with great atmosphere and soul. A touching story.

I love this movie even though I only learned of its existence via KZread! 🇳🇴 There even exists a Japanese dub of it.

Lambert?! His name is Ludwig you philistine! In all seriousness though, thank you for bringing this film to light - it was absolutely my childhood ;)

Thank you so much for talking about this gem

I saw this film no later than TODAY at a small pop-up drive in cinema hosted by some local groups for funding. It was great to see it again, the music alone makes me feel so at peace, and I really don't see a problem with the presentation of the Middle Eastern character, since he's not a villain by any means, in fact he ends up being a vital component to the success of our protagonists.

The music and the sound of the cars racing is nothing les than amazing!

I lost count of how many times I watched this as a kid! Amazing!

In Denmark, this film is a classic too. We love it, and some Danes even think it is a Danish film, because the composer of this film, was a Dane.

To be fair, I think a lot of originally Danish productions that have been copied in Norway, are thought to be originally Norwegian. So it is perfectly understandable that Danes might think it Danish, or Swedes could think it Swedish.

The Pinchcliffe game being a re-master done right? Eh, I don't know. About 45% of the original content has been removed, and although it makes the game more streamlined, it feels a bit bare-boned. The only good part was the new racing mode, which granted, was very satisfying and well executed

Saw this at my local cinema as a kid in the late 70s. A favorite of mine and I obviously own the bluray.

This movie is my childhood and still holds a very spescial place in my heart. Very happy too see that it gets some of the edention its desverre. Thank u❤

Great review, Nick! Your playthrough of the game did make me watch the movie, and it definitely deserves the recognition.

It's very well known back here in Norway, so it's sad to see that such a good movie has been forgotten or ignored by the most of the world.

I saw this movie sooo much as a kid. My brother bought it on iTunes movies and we watched it so much whenever we were driving long trips around the country

I had fun learning about this Norwegian movie.

I saw this as a child and this movie has been a staple in my norwegian life ever since though i didnt understand the plot at that time due to my age so thanks for clearing that up in this amazing video. Keep up the good work

Flåklypa is not lost at all, we got a Christmas series two years ago. I was raised on flåklypa

Finally a second review of this movie that I have ever seen

This is one of my favorit films and as an Norwigen if you are from Norway you shoud see this movie

This was a good review. Your videos are informative and enjoyable

My favorite quote about any grand prix is from one of the top gear crew "The grand prix is just a bunch of guys waving there Pr*** About "

Thank you for this great review 🙂👍 I'm subscribing 😁

I'm still very confused as to why they changed Sonny and Lambert's names to Louis and Luca in the modern stop motion films when the characters had already established english names.

the stories in the films are based on the stories from the author "Kjell Aukrust"

As someone who love norway i love this video.

There was also a game based on the movie that released in the early 2000s. There is also a more recent remake of the game, but it is far from as good as the original game. It's far from being a remaster done right. It's missing a lot of mini games that were in the original game, along with various other issues.

well you americans get rudolph at xmas, in Norway we get pinchcliffe. I love showing my son the movie (being a Norwegian married to German), so you should start a new tradadition as well and watch this movie along with the american ones.

Omg! This and dunderklumpen is my childhood! Both take place in the Swedish and Norwegian mountainchain called "fjällen" in Swedish. You should really look at dunderklumpen becuse its very similair to this movie in so many cases. Specielly the feeling. Dunderklumpen is a cult movie in Sweden and is the only thing my family home of Strömsund in north Jämtland, in north Sweden. I think you would love to se dunderklumpen. The music is very similair. Very fun that you review movies like this.

Great review!

I'd say the 1999(?) pc game is better than the 2021 game. But that might be because I grew up with the older one. Coming back to school after Christmas as suddenly "everyone" had gotten the game.

I saw it in the cinema as a kid. It's at another level.

After recommending this movie to international friends, it seems that the puppets have a undesirable level of 'uncanny' look to them, which is really unfortunate.

this film was great when i was a child and still is today. oh yeah if you ever take a trip to norway at some point i recomend somewhat you cheack out the hunderfossen park with has a lifesized iltempogigante in it.

Ludvig my beloved

I'm annoyed I didn't discover this movie earlier

I've seen it more than a 100 times. ❤ I even saw the premier in 1975 😅

gr8 movie, got the blue ray , the other 3 stopmotion (cheese , snow , space) movie and the switch game . funy the 3 movies were released in europe but the original can only be found in scandinavian lands same goos for switch game

Without this film koenisgegg wouldn't be invented because the movie inspired Christian von koenigsegg when he was little and then soon koenigsegg was invented

one of the best movies ever made..

Skål 🍻

This show just inspired this 5 year old Christian Von Koenigsegg to make his Ultra rare, Fastest, expensive sports car.

Did you know there was a remake for a video game for it in 2021

His name is Ludvig not Lambert

"Balladen om Holger Danske"
