Ronja, The Robber’s Daughter Clips Feature Ronja at Play

In these new clips from the second and fourth episodes of Ronja, The Robber’s Daughter, we see the titular heroine in two scenes; also, Gillian Anderson’s voice overs are retained in these excerpts, so you can hear the presentation style of the series.

Fans of Studio Ghibli’s contributions to Ni No Kuni will note a similar animation style in these two clips, especially when we compare the facial expressions of Ronja and Oliver.

Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is an animated adventure for kids and families, the new series is narrated by Golden Globe Award-winning actress Gillian Anderson (The X-Files), directed by Gorō Miyazaki (Up on Poppy Hill, Tales from Earthsea), and presented by the Academy Award-winning Studio Ghibli (Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle) and Saltkråkan (the Astrid Lindgren Company). The series is already a full-fledged hit in Japan, winning the International Emmy Award for “Best Kids Animation.” Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is based on the wildly-popular children’s fantasy book of the same name by noted Swedish author Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Longstocking), which has sold approximately 10 million copies worldwide since its release in 1981, and been translated into 41 languages and adapted for film and television internationally.

Ronja, the Robber’s Daughter is an epic 26-part story of 10-year-old Ronja (Teresa Gallagher), born on a stormy night in a mountain fort, surrounded by her father (Rufus Hound), mother (Morwenna Banks) and a loving band of robbers. She grows to be a strong girl, and discovers that the forest is both a beautiful and frightening place inhabited by strange creatures. She befriends Birk (Kelly Adams), the son of her father’s rival, and so begins the drama of her friendship and family loyalties. Viewers follow along as she explores and understands these key factors in her life, and discovers that seemingly irresolvable choices can finally be made with the help of love and understanding.
