Lorange, Muffin & Dartanjang
”Lorange, Muffin & Dartanjang” is an animated comedy feature for young children and their older friends. The feature is based on two classic Swedish children’s books “Lorange, Muffin & Dartanjang” (1969), and “Lorange, Lorange” (1970), written by Barbro Lindgren. Our ambition has been to retain the childish and vivid playfulness of the stories’ and their world. The main characters live in spur of the moment, and basically do exactly what they feel like. This applies above all to Lorange, the brusquely charming engine of the feature. Together with Dartanjang’s split personalities and Muffin’s unquenchable desire for play and imagination, they really make the most of their day. Lorange, Muffin and Dartanjang’s world is similar to ours, but seen through a filter of brilliant naivité and imagination. A twisted, childlike humour, and a timeless pop culture thoughtful and full of heart.
Despite Lorange being a grown up, all he wants to do is play, listen to loud pop music, and avoid work. This suits his son Muffin just fine.
After all, having a father like Lorange means never a dull moment.
Grandpa Dartanjang is also fun, although sligthly confused. One day he’ll be a tiger tamer, the next a plumber or a dog. And then there’s Dartanjang’s grandfather, who’s so old that all he can do is sit perched in a pine tree cooing like a cuckoo bird!
No, nothing in their world is normal; tigers growling in the barn, pikes peeping in the garage, and a giraffe snoozing on the junk heap.
