One of Scandinavia's most prolific filmmakers, Rasmus A. Sivertsen studied animation at Volda University College and is a co-owner of Qvisten Animation Studios, which he founded in 1996. His films have been selected for the Annecy International Animated Film Festival and the Berlin, Giffoni, and Shanghai International Film Festivals. He has directed twelve feature-length films, including Kurt Turns Evil (2008), two films starring Ploddy the Police Car (2010; 2013), Louis & Luca and the Snow Machine (2013), Louis & Luca: The Big Cheese Race (2016), and Louis & Luca: Mission to the Moon (2019). In the Forest of Huckybucky (2017) is his first adaptation of Norwegian illustrator Thorbjørn Egner's universe, which Sivertsen returned to for Three Robbers and a Lion (2022).
Welcome to Cardamom, the most peaceful town in the world! The baker prepares the rolls, the cobbler repairs the shoes, and the weather forecast is always fine. Nothing could possibly stir up trouble among the inhabitants—nothing, that is, until three scoundrels by the names of Casper, Jasper, and Jonathan are taken into account. These rascals have taken it into their heads to venture into town… and watch out, they’re bringing a lion!
