Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Astrid Lindgren hated the film's title change from 'Bullerbyn' to 'Noisy Village' — she thought it sounded like a zoo.
This launched Lasse Hallström's career; he later directed 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape' and 'Chocolat' — basically this but with more angst and chocolate.
