Trailer For Nordic Animation NIKO AND THE PATH TO THE STARS

Not sure which country receives production credit on this one, really - it’s a hodge podge of different investment groups across the Nordic region - but Niko and the Path to the Stars is the latest animated feature from Denmark’s A Film, the same production house behind both Terkel in Trouble and Journey to Saturn.  The story of a reindeer hoping to join Santa’s sleigh team Niko is worlds more family friendly than either of those other films and has already attracted attention from the Weinstein Company here in North America.  And after taking a look at the brand new trailer it’s not hard to see why the film would be attracting attention:  it’s polished, quality stuff.  The days of America and Japan dominating the animation world are rapidly coming to an end ... check it out below the break.

    It is a Finnish production (mostly, if I’ve understood correctly). It’s been touted as the highest budget Finnish animation anyway and everything is done in Finnish, so it’s a Finnish movie, even if the money came from various countries.

    Yes, it is a Finnish film. It’s being made by a Finnish computer animation studio called Anima Vitae, and this is their first feature length film.

    The animation isn’t the greatest, but I’ll be damned if that doesn’t actually look like an enjoyable movie.  I kept waiting for it to start irritating me and it didn’t.  The Weinsteins will utterly destroy this and cram its corpse full of ‘tude.
