Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (in the UK, Ronja Rövardotter in Sweden, Ronja Robbersdaughter in the USA) is a Swedish fantasy film which was released to cinemas in Sweden on 14 December 1984,[2] directed by Tage Danielsson, based on the 1981 novel of the same title by Astrid Lindgren, and adapted for the screen by Lindgren herself.

Mattis is the head of a band of good-natured robbers, and he warns his daughter of the dangers that she is likely to meet in the wilderness.

Meanwhile another group of robbers, led by their chief Borka have settled in the now separated part of the castle, much to the dismay of Mattis.

This act forces Birk and Ronia to run away from their families, living in a cave, as their parents refuse to get over their enmity.

[6] Ronia, the Robber's Daughter was viewed as a children's film, since various media houses made it appear as such.

[7] In his review, he calls the film "a picturesque movie, filled with advertisements for Sweden's crashing waterfalls, deep woods and stony caverns".

[9] The novel was adapted as a Japanese anime as Ronja, the Robber's Daughter in 2014,[10] developed by Goro Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.

Hans Rosenfeldt wrote the script while Lisa James Larsson directed the series.
