Hey Asatru people
I'm not sure if your aware or care about this series of comics and a movie by Peter Madsen but i'd like to bring them to your attention if not and you do.
They came out in Denmark about 10 years before i was born and i remember both comics and movie very fondly. I think for a lot of Danish and Scandinavian people these are the faces of our old Gods. At least for people from before 1990 i guess, younger kebab-worshiping generation probably not. But its still one of the most colorful and moving representations and serving it to kids is going to leave an impression. Which made me quiet sad when i re watched it recently and realized the heartbreaking socialist brainwashing going on.
But still though, i'd like to offer them to you, and i'd like to defend my old friends by trying to get you to view it as sometimes a misguided message but always contained in something beautiful. The writer is perhaps not so much trying to sell you the overall message as he is using the opportunity to show you everything in between. At least you should probably be in that frame of mind of your going to view it. Its a mixed bag though and there are certainly good in there as well.
And re viewing it, i got 01-11 of the comics but its in Danish. I can dump it or upload somewhere i guess but let me know. Should be possible to find it somewhere in English. From Madsen's webpage: "The award-winning Valhalla albums have been published in eleven different languages. Volume 1 has so far sold more than 100,000 copies in Denmark alone." I know the movie can be found with both English subs and audio, but let me know if need help looking.

If nothing else, this could offer a little insight about how the story is/was told here.

Thanks for posting this.
Here's the movie dubbed in English:

And in the original Danish:

Here's my impression of it from an earlier thread:
Though the animation is Disney quality, and the character designs are great, the overall quality of this movie is uneven.
As in there are parts of the movie that are just pure unadulterated filler that go on and on and on to an obnoxious degree. Like the animators were collectively going "Ooooh! Ooooh! Look what we can do!" and just getting off on the cool stuff they could animate.
The parts where there is actual plot and direction are pretty solid though. Overall, it's worth at least a watch.
>I can dump it or upload somewhere i guess but let me know.
YES. DO IT! These are worth the price of admission for the art alone.

Your welcome!
Any favored place i should upload? Or just dump 3 at a time here?
I think your right about it being uneven, even in Danish it feels like that. But i have to admit that this is an afterthought, i didn't notice it all when i was a kid. But i second that its worth a watch. Cheers for the links!

Page 48 and 49 has some info about the movie:
"In october 1982 work was started on a fully animated movie, build over the comic Valhalla.
From the beginning it was the goal to make a cinema-movie in the >classical< style, that is to say, a movie with a dramatic and atmospheric-saturated story, trustworthy characters, full motion, well crafted backgrounds, symphonic music and so forth… The work took three and a half years and the price was 30 million kr., a sky high price viewed with danish eyes but compared to other movies in the same style its a small budget.
The movie is instructed by Peter Madsen in cooperation with the american Jeff Varab, who with his past as animator for Disney, also was responsible for educating the movies animators.
A lot of Peter's work was also style control in the movie. Even though a lot had to be changed to make it work as a movie, emphasis was put on making characters, houses, animals and so on stay true to the comic series and stay connected, even though everything of course should be as pretty as possible.
The series colorizer, Søren Håkansson, has lead the work with the movies backgrounds and has painted a lot of the beautiful scenes himself …-"
and then the rest is more about filmmaking in general but seems like it being new animators amazed with new tech is a pretty accurate observation.
