[REL] Ronja Rövardotter (1984)

No no no, the "movie-censorship" site covers NOT JUST censored versions but instead compares ANY different versions! Don't be too confused! The DVD era brought on endless extended "Director's Cut" versions of movies that had nothing to do with censorship, just directorial self indulgence and DVD-product promotion. Of course versions for TV with either shortened or extended runtimes are mainly meant for fitting a particular timeslot. The version detailed for German TV seems to have shortened some scenes in order to add the additional scenes and still fit into the demanded timeslot. Shortening "Ronja running through the woods looking at the animals" is not a censorship issue.

On the 2024 Netflix version:

Spoiler: I noticed that the 2024 Swedish Netflix version STILL has the discreet and comedic full-frontal male nudity, so I do not think actual censorship of Ronja is an issue for European audiences. At the end of Episode 6 of the 2024 is a view of Ronja and Birk swimming coming up in Part 2, but it is unclear what they might be wearing underwater and how much the public demands of modesty have changed for children in film in the past 40 years. But that's another discussion.

Strange that the German TV series you found on Amazon is in SIX parts rather than the THREE reported by the movie-censorship site; it also reported the Swedish as SIX rather than the three that I have seen everywhere.

Since the German version on Amazon is in SD rather than 1080p, my crystal ball foretells an AI Upscale in the future ...

No, I was wrong. It's only three. I nearly had ordered it.

3 episodes or 6 episodes makes no difference, it still is the complete extended German version. It is not MISSING any episodes. The only real questions are whether you want German audio or Swedish, and if you would prefer the theatrical.

The German extended version is longer than the theatrical, and the Swedish extended is longer than both of them.

But isn't it the same like the extended 3-parts blu-ray? Or did I get something wrong?

[Night457]

There were supposedly presentations of 3 episodes 45 minutes each or 6 episodes half as long, but nowhere else have I seen mention of the 6 part version. I never had the 3-part German to compare with the 3-part Swedish, but YES they should be mostly the same. Only on movie-censorship did I read that the German version is edited differently than the Swedish, which is not unusual. And it seems that the dubbing can make up for inconsistencies in what is seen or not seen in the video.

Of course my later posts are predicated on the assumption that you read the full movie-censorship page I linked so that you know what the heck I am talking about. I only quickly summarized a few points.

For our German-speaking audience:

Bluray-rip muxed with the German audio track, if anyone needs it.

OK, after all this discussion it is not fair if you don't give a little bit more info! Is it the theatrical or extended version? What is the source of the audio, the German DVD? I know I will stick with the Swedish, but I am most certainly curious. If it is somehow the extended, I am especially curious how it matched up, given the confusing information I was reading about the runtimes.

Glad you have a German 1080p now!

I'm sorry for the lack of information.
The picture source is the Swedish blu-ray of the theatrical version (runtime 02:00:57). The movie only exists on DVD in Germany, so I guess this is where the audio came from. It isn't my creation, so I can only guess.

I like the story, interesting.

JD a second time, 48GB+ iso file nothing opens it. 7zip on 12 files produces same result. I don't have any way to try more.
Relic.

One thing to try if you haven't already. Change the file extension to .rar and see if it opens. Probably not, but I've had that work on occasion.

Definitely the whole disc at that file size. The STREAM folder contains the theatrical version (about 23 GB) and three files corresponding to the three TV episode expanded version - a little over 8 GB each, for a total of 25. An .mkv of either version would be considerably smaller than the 49.6 GB of the full bluray.

The .iso file is probably just corrupt. All it would take is an error that doesn't trip any alarms (so to speak) during upload damaging one of the archives.

Could you post the full disc on emule or 1fichier? I don't see it available on fearnopeer. It'd be a shame if such a cult classic didn't get BDRemux treatment.
