I took this deligthful little movie from the library a few days ago. I had not seen it in many years, but watching it made so many colorful childhood memories come up that I couldn´t stop smiling. This film truly is a children´s movie in its best! It is based on an Astrid Lindgrens book and it tells about an island called Saltkråkan, the people and expecially the kids who live there.  The characters are lovable and true, stories and circumtanses sweet and realistic and the acting is wonderful from all the children and expecially Torsten Lilliecrona who plays Melkerson. Also, they couldn´t have found a more happy and well to handle cutie than 21 months old Kajsa Dandenell to play little Skrållan.

If you have the chance and you would like to spend a warm and laugh sure video evening with your children, get Tjorven och Skrållan in you hands.
