Kaptein Sabeltann
Captain Sabertooth (in Norwegian: Kaptein Sabeltann) is a long running series that centers on the eponymous pirate Captain Sabertooth, who was created and was originally portrayed by the Norwegian singer, composer, author and actor Terje Formoe. The series comprises several stage plays, theatrical films, a television series, cartoons, and books, all of which are aimed at small children.
The series was first launched as a series of stage plays. The first play, Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure in Luna Bay, was first performed in Kristiansand Zoo and Amusement Park in Norway where Formoe was Director of Entertainment. The play's success was so great that in 1994 it was followed up with another stage play, Captain Sabertooth and the Secret of Luna Bay, the music of which won Formoe a Spellemann prize, the Norwegian equivalent of the Grammy Awards. The plays have since been followed up with several theatrical films, which have proven to be very popular in Norway.
In 2014 the film Captain Sabertooth and the Treasure of Lama Rama was released. Its cost was 50 million Norwegian kroner (roughly US$6,600,000 or EUR 7,800,000 as of May 2015), making it the most expensive children's film to date in Norwegian history.
