Production notes
We are all familiar with Hans Christian Andersen's tale of the ugly duckling who became a swan...
But what a lot of people don't know is that, along the way, the same duckling was adopted by Ratso, a city rat hiding out in a duckyard full of farm animals.
It gives us great pleasure to be able to bring these two comical characters to the screen. It's what Hans Christian Andersen would have wanted - honestly.
A spin-off of the 2006 feature film "Den Grimme 'lling Oog Mig.""
Budgeted at an estimated 8 million euros.
