Anders Matthesen really did a good job with his new animated movie. Everything is well done, the animation and the story especially impressed me.

The right amount of his own kind of humour was added and is guaranteed to make laugh a lot, because many of the jokes are actually not just low brow jokes or mean-spirited stereo typing, but clever satire on different pop culture elements.

The ninja himself quickly became my favourite, because without spoiling anything I can tell you that he has many funny abilities and a great backstory. The other characters are mostly created as satire on different personalities similar to the ones from his earlier work, Terkel I Knibe, but still enjoyable.

Speaking of which, people who are familiar with that movie will get many cameos from different characters from that movie, most notably Onkel Stewart. Even though it feels pointless to have so many cameos and give Stewart so much screen time whe Matthesen clearly has stated that he won't make another Terkel movie, it is still filled with laughter and is enjoyable. What Stewart's relation to the main character? Maybe I didn't get it.

But one thing which was really delightful was how much better the animation had become. Terkel I Knibe was pretty ugly to look at, but Ternet Ninja had got some really promising animators to work on it and their hard work impressed me and even overwhelmed me at times.

The story presented to us in Ternet Ninja is basically about achieving your goals instead of just being a whiny loser. It was shown and acted pretty well and did also convey a heart-warming message and a social commentary. I guess it's still not for the youngest viewers, but it is more watchable and has much more heart to it than Terkel I Knibe.

I really fun and entertaining movie for the whole family. Once again the Danes shows the world how it is done. The film dares to show that reality is a mixture of dark, sad events and fun heart filled experiences. A perfect film to watch with your kids. I was also so happy to get more onkel Stewart!

It is a very good and interesting Danish animated film; the plot is decent and full of hilarious moments; I do not recommend it to children.

Where to start! What a funny movie, that is well-suited for adults as well as kids. Sure there is some brutal moments, but they are done in a very humorous way, which make the brutal moments, a little less frightening for the younger audience. In "Ternet Ninja" we see a movie that is not only great comedy, but a lovely light-hearted story about justice. You can see how hard anders has worked on this movie. It's clear to see that he has studied the younger generations general behavior and slang, and therefore the dialogue between the kids is not only very funny, but also very realistic.

Besides making a great script, Anders has also written some very good and funny songs as parodies on modern rap, and gives great voice-over performances. Also love that he brought back Terkel and Stewart Stardust, characters that fans of his former work will know for sure!

A simple, but a funny movie that is made for a small target audience. The comedy is the big priority in this movie, and it works with its brutal humor. The story is funny, sarcastic, and even cute. I have only watched the Norwegian version, and the Norwegian actor Herman Flesvig does a well job by bringing 113 voices into this movie by himself. The animation has not the professional, or the detailed, top-class character or environment graphics, but this is not that important when it comes to this type of a movie. Recommending for the specific audience, but I think the minimum age should be 16 years because of the rough language.

Much better than his previous "Terkel i knibe", but a rather harsh detail very early on, make it unsuited for minor kids. I would say about 13+ as larger kids and adults can better cope with and enjoy his harsh and often grotesque humour, that often is spot on the types it portraits. and very very funny. it has a message too, so not just slap stick and profane language.

.. But still a good animated movie with True facts (children slavery, drag dealing, bullying).

This movie is awsome. So funny. The plot is so good. Funny all he way. If you like Terkel i knibe you will love this movie. Very original. I was a little sceptic at first . I dident think that i could be better then Terkel but i was wrong.

Found the trailer on youtube in the most random way possible. The kids nagged me to download the movie so I did. All I can say is that although the plot was entertaining (and somewhat educating), it made them cry out of fear.

I will not burn the story but it is a movie that seeks justice through revenge and framing the bad guys to punish them for their original crimes. If your kids are 13+ then yeah let them watch it with caution and have a serious conversation about taking actions and tolerating their consequences.

I am someone who was raised that seeking justice has very specific means none of them is revenge or framing so please put that into perspective when reading my review.

Whatever you do, just don't let a kid or teenage watch it. this movie has drug dealing, Suicide message, beating a kid heavily and other things like this. yeah the movie is funny but it's not suitable for kids.

Anders Matthesen has abillities like few other comedians in the world. His diverse cast of eccentric characters that function as caricatures on the stereotypical personalities we encounter are both obnoxious, hilarious and likable at the same time. With his infallible and characteristic voicing talent he makes flawless use of danish slang and culture to poke good-hearted fun at the current generation of youths, parents, teachers and even musicians.

The best part is that all the above functions as a scaffold on which a quite unique and captivating tale is told, whereas his previous movie "Terkel i Knibe" was a more two-dimensional collection of crude albeit funny gags. I won't spoil any details though. This time Matthesen has opted to have the main character be voiced by someone other than himself. This gives the feeling that the boy is trying to navigate in Matthesen's unpredictable universe, and one can't help but root for him.

In spite of crude humor and an especially brutal scene early on, the movie as a whole ends up being heartwarming, and when the credits roll you realize that you've been fully attentive and entertained for the duration of the film. Matthesen is one of the most, if not THE most iconic danish comedians which he certainly establishes with this achievement. I hope the title will reach a wider audience as it certainly deserves more attention and recognition.

9/10

I could imagine you would like this if you are a die hard Anden fan, but it is aiming too broad for my taste. Is it really the same people who finds dab and flossing funny that also find cocaine funny? Not better than terkel

First and MOST IMPORTANT thing to be said about this film is that, if you are a Dane you know this, there are some big cultural differences between (Denmark as well as many other (mostly western) European countries) and a lot of the rest of the world, Im'ma just assume you're American. What I'm talking about specifically is that, there people are way more casual about exposing their children to the realities of such things as listed above. There this would be onside red a family/kids movie. If you are not from there though or are otherwise not comfortable sharing this movie with younger children, don't... share it with younger children.

When I first saw it when I was visiting Denmark (I was born there and am a dual citizen (US/Denmark) I watched it with my Aunt and uncle, their kids, and my 10-year-old brother. My brother was not born there and is generally not as accustomed to their culture/society, and... well he left after the first 10-20 mini. At least there's no gore or anything... 😬

Just like to remind you that despite these things Denmark has officially ranked 2nd happiest country in the world more than once.

Other than all that, it's a GREAT movie. Really funny, has a good engaging plot, and has given the world one of the greatest songs ever.... "PESTO"! Worth watching for sure.

Dark and funny and a punch in the guts for those who don't care about the origins of their consumer goods. It may seem like family movie at first glance but this is definitely not suitable for the youngest.

My biggest problem is the voice acting, it seems like a b-movie/childrens show despite the content being more adult. It does not reach the level of its' predecessor "Terkel I Knibe" in any way at all. The story is decent, but the overall experience is flat and not at all trustworthy.

The Director has been seriously slacking innovation for years now in all of his works.

Everything in it, is funny! Anders Matthesen has done it again <3 No other person in the world, makes such funny animations movies, as Anders does <3

Best thing I have seen in line time. Super funny , not clize" or obvious plot twist. Would watch again

I see a lot of parents whining about the fact that the kids in the movie swear too much for their sweet heart but just so you know this is how Danish 10 year old talks and its a Danish movie that the teachers would put on in school with no problem. So that is why its rated pg 13. Its not that bad. My parents took my 8 year brother to watch this with us and he was laughing the whole way thru just like all the other 8-10 year olds.

This is NOT for all ages. Reviews that say it's good for kids must be coming from non-parents or parents who let their kids watch rated R movies!

The first scene is a child worker in Thailand get beaten and ultimately killed. One reviewer said these scenes are done with humor...WRONG!!! My son of 10 years old was staring and asking, "what just happened". I tried explaining that this type of gross behavior is allowed by their government and we should be glad we live where we do. But then the profanity started.

I'm sorry but even Family Guy bleeps out the curse words, which is still not age appropriate for anyone under 13.

If you care about what your kids watch, do not allow them to see this.

Take a bit of Teddybear Ted and mix martial art it with a punch of Karate Kid - and you Will have your Checkered Ninja!

At first I didnt think it was going to be so "adult" - so I was happily surprised!

A solid animated movie 7,5-8/10.
