About the film

[edit]

There are differences between the book and this film:

  • At the kidnapping, it's Nicke who guards the car but in the book it's Svedberg, the fourth kidnapper, who is removed from the film.
  • Anders and Kalle build a hut in the forest on the island, but here they live in a cave.
  • The professor is locked-in in a room upstairs of the kidnappers' main house, but in the book he is locked in a small house.
  • In the scene, when the children attack Nicke, Rasmus does not throw out Nicke's key through the window, instead he keeps it hidden in the house.
  • The floatplane doesn't sink due to the float Kalle cut; instead he screws off the guy-wire of the plane so it is impossible to control it and then it crashes into a tower.
  • In the film, the Rövarspråket is never used.

The theme music Vår vitaste ros is written and produced by Peter and Nanne Grönvall and sung by Sanna Nielsen.[1]
