‘Pettson and Findus’

REVIEWED By Dannie Mei Finch
And Jessica Coke

Do you speak sausage?

Fengus is a clever and curious cat that chases muckles obsessively to get back items that were stolen by them. He is very upset that the tomte (elves) never come to their house for Christmas. He tries making a wish list and builds a snow lantern. If the snow lantern melts by morning the tomte will come. Pettson is an old inventor, who is also Fingus’s owner. When he promises that the tomte will come, he is very concerned that the tomte won’t come so he attempts to build a tomte machine in secret.

This fun family cartoon is appropriate for all ages. “Pettson and Findus: the Tomte Machine” has great cinematography. I especially liked it when Fingus sat on top of Pettson’s head and looked at him upside down. It’s not that fantastic sound. It is hard to understand at first, but starts making sense at a certain point.

Here are comments from our top critics. Very top critic Kiki Abrahamson gives this cartoon a nine on a scale from 1-10. She says, “I liked it because the kids in the classroom were so engaged and thought it was so humorous.” Top critic Brendan Greeley says, “My favorite part of the movie was when they spoke sausage.” On a scale from 1-10, Brendan gives it a 5. Top critic Cassady Sheffler-Brenand says that the characters are lousy, but the story line is good.

Will the tomte come? Will everything turn out right? We recommend this movie. Bring your family. It is a movie that your kids will love.

It’s amazing what a little beard can do.
