The video was wonderful! It was set back in time to simpler days where children had lots of real fun! My children ages 4-8 years, loved it! They want to see it again. No violence, no bad language and a quick glimpse of little nude children swimming. Overall a good wholesome movie. The scenery is beautiful! It is set in a country village in Sweden. The dubbing was not the least bit offensive or ditracting to this great children's movie which is enjoyable for adults too!

I love this movie! It is so cute and, best of all, non-stressfull. This is not a typical children's movie where bad things happen that have to be overcome or something. This is a story about three farms in a row where all of the children are friends and play together. It takes place in Sweden, so it is dubbed (which is a little wierd but not that big of a deal).

The Children of Noisy Village(1986/88min) is an old time story with the setting just right before WWII. A group of boys and girls from about 5-10yrs old wander around the countryside and find fun and adventure from various childhood activities.

The movie is in a story-telling mode with a voice of a little girl(who's supposed to be one of the girls in the story) narrating all throughout the movie. This movie is wholesome and safe for the young ones but the story is very slow moving.

Also the accents of the actors might be a bit difficult to understand, especially for young kids. There is a pure quality to this movie but I'm not sure how much interest it would hold for the modern audience(kids or adults).

The story would delight any child, but the dubbing is terrible!
I found it to be offensive. It would be much better if the video was in Swedish with English subtitles.

It wasn't clear that the movie was dubbed in English. I wanted the Swedish version with subtitles. I was going to use it in teaching and now I just wasted good money that I could have bought other material for.
