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

yespis A classic novel into a great movie! The acting, the singing... the feeling of the robbers are true. They are there, just before your eyes, dancing, hunting and fighting. Though the novel was originally for children but this fantasy-story is suitable for everyone! Don't miss it! :-)

flickaddict I must have seen this film at least 50 times........It's so wonderful, that I even watch it now from time to time, just to experience that amazing feeling of joy, wonder and adventure it gave me. I don't speak any Swedish, but still I know all the lines by heart, just by seeing it so many times !I saw it for the first time when I was about 6 or 7 years old. I was totally amazed. Amazed by this simple story about an 11-year-old girl living in a medieval castle ( surrounded by a huge forest )with a gang of hairy robbers and her stern but loving mother. Her father is the leader of the band, and regards himself as the greatest and bravest robber that ever roamed the woods. Her world is also inhabited by strange creatures, from little gnome-like creatures to flying evil birdlike witches. When her father discovers her friendship with the son of another leader of a gang of robbers ( and therefore his sworn enemy ), she leaves home and settles with Birk ( the boy ) in a cave in the woods. Together they try to survive until their fathers stop hating each other (which eventually happens).Ronja immediately became my role-model. She showed me that girls can stand up for themselves just as boys, and that women can be just as tough as men. This simple story deals with all basic things in life : friendship, doing what you think is right, following your heart, stand up for yourself and facing the dangers and problems in life with your chin up and your back straight. The element of fantasy and all the creatures make it a great movie for children, but I believe even younger children will appreciate the story of friendship and love too, and will capture the important messages that this movie carries. I have it on tape, and I hope that I will be able to watch it some day with my daughter(s). I think this film should especially be watched by girls, since Astrid lindgren has put in it a special message for them. But apart from that, it's a film that can be watched and enjoyed by anyone between the age of 5 and 105 ! In my opinion one of the best, if not THE best children's movie ever made ! Watch it, and be a kid again. Watch it, and see the basic things that make life worth living.10 out of 10 !

Nyllet 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!
