Fly Me On a Goose
Have you ever heard of Nils Holgersson? The little boy who flew across Sweden on a goose. The book was written over a hundred years ago by swedish nobel prize laureate Selma Lagerlöf.
Take a look at an interpretation of Holgersson's flight and listen to a classic swedish song celebrating the county of Skåne (or Scania)*. It contains aerial photography, trick filming and some animation.
Impressive? Well, it's from 1939. What can you expect? The heavy set artist is Edvard Persson, one of the biggest (!) movie stars in Sweden at that time. Check the video out: bigger and smaller.
Here's a sing-a-long version of another classic Edvard Persson song "Jag har bott vid en landsväg". Probably nothing for the non-swedish or even the non-scanians. But be my guest - have a go!
*By the way that's where PCL LinkDump resides.
