Review of Rasmus and the Vagabond

Rasmus is a cheeky but totally adorable orphan, who just has no luck finding the family he desperately wants, as everyone who come to the orphanage seems to want to adopt little girls. So he runs away, in the hope of finding parents. Immediately, he falls in with an elderly minstrel, who is friend to everybody, and they become an inseparable double act. The film is such charming fun because it seems as though Allan Edwall (Oskar, the minstrel) and Erik Lindgren (Rasmus) are just strolling through the countryside, being themselves!
