Emil & Ida in Lönneberga (Swedish)
In Katthult, in Lönneberga, in Småland, Emil and his little sister Ida live together with their father Anton, mother Alma, farmhand Alfred and maid Lina. Emil is a sweet little chap who loves to help, but his helpfulness often somehow turns into mischief. Then he has to stay in the woodworking shed, where he sits in peace and quiet, carving his wooden figures until he’s let out. Join him as he does his 325th mischief, carves his hundredth wooden figure and has to stay in the shed for naughty things that weren’t even his fault.
The animated film had three directors, Per Åhlin, Alicja Björk and Lasse Persson, and it was Per Åhlin who was responsible for the design. The images are based on Björn Berg’s illustrations. Hans-Åke Gabrielsson wrote the script entirely based on Astrid Lindgren’s books.
The film premiered in Sweden on Christmas Day 2013.

Astrid Lindgren in Norway
The first to bring Astrid Lindgren's books abroad was the publisher Damm & Søn in Oslo, with their Norwegian edition of "Pippi Longstocking" already appearing in 1946. This marked the beginning of a long-standing relationship. Today, most of her books in Norway are published by Cappelen Damm, a publishing house formed through the merger of Cappelen and Damm. Astrid's book adaptations into films also became popular in Norway, as did her famous songs. One of Astrid Lindgren's favorite books was "Hunger" by the Norwegian author Knut Hamsun; she often mentioned it as one of her greatest reading experiences.
