Synopsis
The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (Flåklypa Grand Prix, 1975) is the Norwegian stop-motion classic you can watch online on iFILM. Director Ivo Caprino animated it frame by frame over several years, and it remains the most-watched film in Norway's history.
Bicycle repairman and tinkerer Reodor Felgen learns that his old assistant Rudolf Blodstrupmoen stole one of his designs and rode it to a racing championship. Reodor settles the score his own way. With help from Solan the magpie and Ludvig the hedgehog, he builds a wild racing machine called Il Tempo Gigante, bankrolled by oil sheik Ben Redic Fy Fazan.
The closing duel between Reodor and Rudolf is one of the most charming race sequences ever animated — handcrafted entirely from puppets and miniatures, not a pixel in sight. It's a family film that plays just as well for the grown-ups who grew up on it across Scandinavia. Stream The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix online on iFILM.
