Nils Holgersson is a boy living on a farm who often mistreats the animals. When he captures the farm’s mischievous goblin, his prank goes too far, and he is magically shrunk. Suddenly the farm animals seek revenge, forcing Nils to flee atop the goose Morten. They soon join a flock of wild geese and travel across Sweden, while Nils searches for a way to return to his normal size. The film was produced in 1982 but did not receive a theatrical release until January 2015, more than three decades later. It first reached the public in 1995 through a home‑video release.
