Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder is a series of children's novels by Norwegian author Jo Nesbø, illustrated by Mike Lowery.

One critic described the books as similar to the works of Roald Dahl and Lemony Snickett, and said that they can help to increase a child's creativity and imagination while doing so in a hilarious way.

[9] In March 2014, the first book in the series had a live-action film adaptation directed by Arild Fröhlich.

[11] However one critic stated that "(it's) a wonderful and subversive kids movie where parents are good-hearted but wholly absent and the children have to rely on their own wit and ingenuity to bail themselves from sticky situations.

The film recalls the best made-for-kids movies of the 80’s and I do not believe it’s a happy accident that the absent minded Doctor Proctor bears a striking resemblance to Back To The Future’s Doc Brown.

It’s the type of production that would be animated if it were an American film, yet it works so wonderfully as a live action movie.
