The Last Norwegian Troll

About This Movie

The Last Norwegian Troll is an interesting piece, to say the least. It captures a bit of that whimsical, folklore-inspired animation vibe, which feels quite distinct amid the family films of its time. The pacing is gentle, allowing the story to unfold at a leisurely rhythm, almost like a bedtime story. Themes of loneliness and the idea of extinction really come through, especially with the last of the trolls being such a poignant figure. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm, adding to the film's rustic feel. The character interactions, particularly the goats’ naive determination against the Troll, have this amusing innocence that resonates well. It’s a film that’s worth discussing among collectors for its unique take on Norwegian mythology.
