Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Askeladden ('Ash Lad') is Norway's ultimate underdog hero, the youngest son who succeeds through wit rather than strength in hundreds of folktales.
Director Ivo Caprino later became legendary for 1975's 'The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix'—Norway's biggest box office hit ever, animated or live-action.
