Is this movie available in Norwegian?


...as opposed to Swedish, I mean. They're similar enough to understand but it's a bit of a pain to adjust the ear for me (Norwegian is not my native tongue).

The is (only) a scandinavian dvd-version at the moment, possibly even two. On-line you can find a version with all the Scandinavian languages.

I know it's been on Norwegian tv-channels
with norwegian sub-titles at least.. :)

I love this movie!
You should watch it if you have the chance!

It's not in Norwegian, no...
I understand your difficulties, but Norwegian and Swedish is similar,
so we really don't need dubbing (or subtitles)

They cut the movie up and sent it on Danish TV some years ago. It was narrated in Danish (not dubbed), so children could follow it.

The word "rolig" means quiet ore calm in norwegian. The norwegian words for fun are "gøy", "artig", "morsomt".
The norwegian word for worried is "bekymret"

reply

Actually the Norwegian word for "orolig" is "urolig" ^^
It's probably easier for most young Norwegians to understand Swedes than the other way around, since a lot of us grew up with Swedish cartoons on TV3. Skurt for the win!

Im a norwegian and i have a lot of friends from Karlstad in Sweden and they keep telling me that if i can find a swedish who dont understand norwegian. Then i would probably have found a retard.

And Ronja Rövardotter does not exist with norwegian language. Simpley because we dont need it in norwegian here. We understand swedish as perfect as norwegian in norway.

reply

Actually, you can find VHS's dubbed in Norwegian. Usually in libraries. Probably you can find a DVD where Norwegian is a language option, too. I had to go without watching the film because I could only find it in Norwegian, and it sounds SO much better in the original Swedish!

Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Norwegian is like Swedish with a unusual accent, and the other way around I guess.
Although I don't think many share my opinon about this. at least not as many as this board seems to believe.

As I've understood swedish television is a part of television elsewhere inside of scandinavia which make it easier for them to understand our language as they hear it more often.
Swedes are great english speakers, opposed to norway and finland who have a greater knowledge for Swedish instead or as well.

I just bought the standard issue DVD, and it includes a Norwegian soundtrack as well as a Finnish one.

reply

You are wrong, it exists dubbed. I caught this movie in the cinemas when it was new, and it was in dubbed Norwegian. It has aired on Norwegian television multiple times in dubbed form, and is available on the net. We might not need dubbing to understand the movie, but our kids might. With that said, it doesn't come close to the original swedish one.

reply

Swedish and Norwegian are different; many words are not similar and don’t even av the same meaning.

reply

I own Ronja on DVD and it's in both Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish. If you go via wikipedia and search for the movie there you'll find a link to somewhere you can download English subtitles for the movie.

reply

Where can I order this DVD with all the scandinavian audio tracks on it? The swedish DVD only has the swedish audio track...

reply

Well I bought mine from the post office shop last time I was in Norway. It's a region 2 disk.

or here: http://www.dvdstrax.com/no/index.php3?SCREEN=item&item=56478

dvdstrax is cheapest by almost half, but I can't see an option to ship outside Norway so you might have to email them. Dvdhouse does ship internationally and you can pay via bank transfer or CC, I think.

reply

Ok, thanks! I'll try my luck...

reply

I bought a copy of the DVD during one of my holidays in Finland, and the Finnish DVD contains the Norwegian audio as well.
