Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Great for adventure lovers and families. A good one for when you want to be swept off somewhere else.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
Bright and bouncy, at 19 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Russian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1970: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).

The Kid didn't have to miss Carlson for long - one day he landed in his room again. This means that there will be new adventures and pranks! With Carlson's help, the harsh and bossy Freken Bock will be re-educated and become very kind. And then the friends will all put on a costume show with dancing and drink tea with buns.
