Ronia: The Robber's Daughter

Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (in the UK, Ronja Rövardotter in Sweden, Ronja Robbersdaughter in the USA) (Swedish: Ronja Rövardotter) is a Swedish fantasy film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 14 December 1984, directed by Tage Danielsson, based on the novel of the same title by Astrid Lindgren, and adapted for the screen by Lindgren herself. When the film was broadcast on television two years after the theatrical premiere, the film was twenty minutes longer and uncensored (the theatrical release allowed viewing from 7 years and older). This spurred a debate where critics asked if film was more harmful in the film theatres than on television. The film was selected as the Swedish entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 58th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a nominee.
