Description:
The beloved children's story Ronja the Robbers Daughter is coming to Netflix 
in two chapters of Scandinavian-set magical fantasy.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

It doesn't tend to get the attention of Studio Ghibli's better known 
releases, but Ronja, the Robbers Daughter is a delightful animated series 
from one of the world's best-loved movie makers and now the story is getting 
a live-action adaptation that will stream on Netflix . 

Based on the beloved novel by Astrid Lindgren best known for Pippi 
Longstocking the show focuses on a young woman who grows up in medieval 
Scandinavia among a clan of boisterous but good-natured robbers. The 2017 
animated series was Studio Ghibli's first ever computer-generated series and 
despite the cel-shaded style, it was a classic story with a big heart. So the 
prospect of a live-action version is very intriguing indeed. What is Ronja 
The Robber's Daughter about? 

In the new series, the story focuses on Ronja's discovery of the magical but 
dangerous forest a forest full of strange and mysterious creatures. In the 
original book, she learns how to live among those creatures in the forest and 
carve out her own life there, albeit with the occasional rescue from her 
parents. And then she meets Birk, a boy of her own age who turns out to be 
the son of a rival clan's chief. That meeting will have life-changing 
effects. 

The Netflix series is in two parts and stars Kerstin Linden, Christopher 
Wagelin, Sverrir Gudnason, Pernilla August and Johan Ulveson. And the 
reimagining is written by Hans Rosenfeldt, who also created the superb police 
drama The Bridge and the deeply odd Anna Friel detective drama Marcella , 
which is also available on Netflix. It's safe to assume that Ronja will be 
considerably less bleak and disturbing than that one although as the trailer 
makes very clear, it's not going to be without some darkness, albeit with a 
more family friendly age rating. 

Part one of Ronja the Robbers Daughter will be available to stream from March 
28, and the second part will be available on the best streaming service later 
this year. You might also like One of the best Netflix animated movies is
