Storyline

- TriviaThe character of Karlsson is Astrid Lindgren's most popular character in Russia, even back in the days of the Soviet Union. In the 80s, Russian ambassador Boris Pankin told Astrid that the two books found in most Russian homes where "Karlsson-on-the-roof" and the bible. To which Astrid replied: "Oh, dear. I had no idea the bible was so popular".

Featured review
I saw Karlsson first when I was about 5 or 6 years old and it became my favorite movie as a child. Every time they show Karlsson in Holland on TV, I watched it every time, even when I was in my 20's. When they showed the movie in the early days it was the original Swedish version with Dutch subtitles but later they did it with a Dutch language so kids could understand the story. I didn't like the Dutch version so I bought the original movie in Swedish and still love it very much. The whole story is just fabulous. A little boy, Lillebror, is the youngest member in the family and sometimes he is bored. Suddenly he meets Karlsson from the roof, a little, fat, baldy kid/man with a propeller on his back. He can fly. Lillebror tells his family about Karlsson but they don't believe him. What I most like about this movie is Karlsson himself, he is so funny and opinionated. He is really hilarious compared to the sweet little Lillebror. Karlsson and Lillebror have all kinds of adventures when Lillebror flies on Karlsson's back. When you like Pippi Longstocking, you definitely like Karlsson.
