The poster boy of this project, Anders Matthesen, is regarded being one of the best (stand-up) comedians and multi-artists in Denmark. So a movie like this would be a bullet proof exercise in Danish animation and humor.
However.
The style of the movie (animation-wise) is very much linked to the company behind it all."A Film". They have made a couple of animations, both short- and full feature. All of them have this particular style.
A great point to make about this movie is, that it displays a very good image of Danish humor among youngsters. It wouldn't surprise me if the rest of the world thinks it sucks big time. Danish humor is very odd. It's not uncommon, that our "hero" is very not like-able.
The over all plot is mediocre, but that's OK. Children get's beaten up, drunk people are on a rage and parents are very little aware of what the f*ck their children are doing.
All the characters are voiced - in Danish - by Anders Matthesen, and to see him do some of this stuff live, is - to be honest - a little bit scary. But freakin' awesome. It's like he has split personality, and of all the Danish comedians I know of, he is one of those in front, always pushing the envelope and crossing lines in what's funny and what isn't funny.
'Terkel i knibe' - is one of those projects, along with the radio shows and live performances. So of course, they had to make a movie about it.
It's not the best full feature animation out there, but it certainly is one of the funniest.
At least to this Dane.
