who ever was in charge of the English audio should never be allowed to dub again. The voice didn't match the characters and they didn't even sync, I mean there's a little girl that sounds like a elf for crying out loud. When switched to Danish audio, it becomes more attractive to the ear because, all of the kids sound like kids and as the voices actually match the body. This switch also allows you to follow the story because you're not distracted with funny voices. Not to mention the chicken exploding was pretty funny

Actually not bad, better than I thought it would be. Some details tied together only loosely. It's worth renting. I agree with some of the other reviews around the little sister's voice - it was horribly matched. Watching in the original Danish soundtrack with English subtitles would help if the dubbed voices are too distracting for you.

The Finnish need to stop trying - nice effects but the movie was terrible. Chickens are not scarey! English version was choppy and silly.
