the Names Røskva, Tjalfe and Quark will seem familiar to anyone who has seen the Danish succestegnefilm ‘Valhalla’ from 1986, which is based on Peter Madsen’s legendary comic book series of the same name.

When the movie was released it was the most expensive Danish cartoon ever, and it was an unprecedented success with nearly 600,000 tickets sold.

See the trailer for the old ‘Valhalla’-the cartoon below:

the Film, which is set to premiere 10. October, is directed by Fenar Ahamad, who has previously directed ‘Ækte Product’ and ‘Underworld’.

– We are in the throes of putting the final touches on the film, and I am very exited to share the first trailer with the audience. With the ‘Underworld’ we tried to do something that was not seen before in a Danish action film. Now we are trying to do the same for the adventure genre. The sagas of the norse gods is one of Scandinavia’s absolute grundfortællinger which I think is immensely important in a time where many feel rootless. ‘Valhalla’ is a homage to the nordic gods and our mythological origins, says Fenar Ahamad.
