Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA dramatization by Norwegian author O. V. Falck-Ytter's "Haakon Haakonsen. En norsk Robinson" (Haakon Haakonsen. A Norwegian Robinson), an action-adventure story aimed at youths, it was inspired by Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" and published in 1873.
- GoofsWhile the movie is set in the 1850's, there are several anachronisms in the uniforms and ships (too new, most likely from the 1890's), weapons (too old, around 1800's) and the major plot of pirates themselves, that had stopped being an issue by time.

A Wonderful Film
I haven't seen this movie since the 2nd grade, so I can only speak from the perspective of a child. It was an amazing movie, and I can still remember the villain well. It was suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat. That being said, sure: if I were to see it again today I might see small flaws in the acting and/or plot, but the key here is that it captures the imaginations of children, which was its purpose. I am not rating this movie since I have not seen it for 12 years.
