Nils Holgersson

I loved it as a child and i love it as an adult. Beautiful art style, great characters, awesome story and a really meaningful message for humanity about living in harmony with nature. The ending just made me cry like a baby even tho im 27 yo. Its trully a masterpiece that i will show to my kids one day.

This was definitely one of the 1980s animated series eagerly awaited on a regular basis by many a child. This is how the story goes more or less ... Nils is a nasty little boy who likes to play tricks on all the animals in the farm. One day he decides to pick on a pixie, only to discover it was not the wisest of his ideas. To punish him, the pixie shrinks him to guinea pig size. Nils escapes the wrath of the farm animals by leaving with a flock of wild geese hoping to discover how he can get his normal size back.

After decades, the emotions front to the TV at the beginning of new episode remains the precious memory. It was more a good animation serie but just food for soul. And it preserves this status ,yet. Because, more than lovely adaptation, it remains a precious gift . So, just - just lovely.

This is the story of an annoying little lad that tortures the animals in his fathers farm. One day he captures a leprechaun which he starts to toy with. The leprechaun escapes him and puts a curse on the boy which gets turned into a dwarf. To escape the anger of the farm animals, he leaves with a flock of wild geese and travels with them. This is how the series begins... As it progresses the boy begins to discover a new greater world which moulds him into a new person.

Absolutely beautiful anime. The Swedish boy Nils who starts off as a cruel and mischievous boy, is shrunk down (as punishment for his bad attitude) and travels throughout Sweden with a flock of geese, his pet hamster "Carrot" and pet goose "Morten". The journey makes him grow into a mature and caring boy that would give his life for his animal friends. The series is 52 episodes long which is just enough that you really get to care about all the characters. And when the show comes to its conclusion it is a real tear jerker. I have not cried as much in a long, long time. If you are looking for a classic anime with a good wholesome message, then look no further.
