The fantasy film "Mio in the Land of Faraway", published in 1987, based on the book by Astrid Lindgren, now gets attention again. As wikipedia reports, the film includes an international cast with Christopher Lee and Christian Bale, among others, and tells the story of a boy who travels into a magical world. Despite mixed reviews in the publication, production was considered the most expensive adaptation of a Lindgren work during her life and is still impressed by its elaborate special effects and the music that was composed by ABBA members.
