Trivia
The oldest recorded form of the name [Ash Lad] is Oskefis ("ash-blower" - although "fis" has evolved to mean "fart" in modern Norwegian), denoting one who blows the embers to keep the fire going, a job often reserved for the lowest member of the household. In some tales, Askeladden's forename is given as Espen, Svein, Halvor, Lars, Hans, or Tyrihans.

Way Better than some of the Reviews

Don't know why there are some really awful reviews or attacks on people who liked it. It's definitely not Lord of the Rings but you know that going in. It's a good little story that's well worth watching. I could see us watching it again sometime. It's clean fantasy for the family.
