Children´s and Youth Films, Sweden 2005, 50 Min., German commentary
Loranga is the best dad in the world. He’s totally laid back. Nothing can faze him. His son Muffin can do anything he wants – play hockey on the breakfast table, turn the garage into a swimming pool. Loranga’s own dad, Dartanjang, is a different kettle of fish: permanently grumpy and reclusive, he lives in his own little cabin near Loranga and Muffin, because he doesn’t want to catch any germs. But, of course, Dartanjang gets sick anyway, and all hell breaks loose. This delightful cartoon comedy about the topsy-turvy world of Loranga, Muffin and Dartanjang is based on a series of absurd children’s books written by Barbro Lindgrens in the late 1960s, which were enormously popular in Sweden – probably because they poke fun at traditional authority with such deliciously irreverent wit.
