A lovely little film, almost too good for the world. Handsomely photographed, with a very pretty musical score, this film is recommended for families/children. Nothing new, but a very nice story and presentation overall. Something for the entire family.

This film was one I happened to find by accident at my local retailer, it had been thrown in with some discount movies. The cover of the Blu-Ray was titled Adventures at the Chocolate Factory, and also had a flying car pictured. It reminded me of a cross between Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I never read the info on the back of the box, that this is a Swedish film and had been dubbed into English.

However, the movie wasn't bad, it was actually entertaining. The only downside is that the English dubbing wasn't the best, but children will enjoy it nonetheless. It is also not rated, but no profanities are used or anything obscene, it's a great family film. It also reminds me somewhat of The Cat in the Hat live action feature in the ways of set decoration and costumes. The colors are vivid and bright and will keep a child's attention.
