Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Matthesen's 2003 radio play, this became Denmark's highest-grossing animated film ever — beating Disney at their own game with a $5 million budget and maximum cynicism.
The English dub re-cast all voices except the ninja's — they kept Matthesen's original Danish performance with subtitles, making him the only actor to star in both versions. Petty king behavior.
