Wow, thanks very much, most kind!
You are most welcome. Everything for my fellow leagueniks.
Some of the characters are based on the animation series "To trøtte typer". It is a norwegian dark comedy and hysterically funny. I guess it will take a while getting used to it, even for a "weird" norwegian like me.
The movie will not be for the masses and you should keep your children away.
I don't really think that english and norwegian humour differs, but Free Jimmy will be weird for sure.
sounds like a real good treat *mm* to me!
excellent! normal is rubbish, bring on the weirdness i say!
btw, welcome Kkaare, there is a newbies thread somewhere to introduce yourself in so we can all say hi!

Here's some news about 'Free Jimmy', the full length animation film featuring the voice of Mark, Steve and Reece amongst others.
anyone have any idea when Free Jimmy will be out? it doesnt seem to say anywhere!
I'm going to see it as part of Cardiff Film Festival this Thursday. Apparently it's the UK premiere and will be attended by the director & producers (but none of the Gents and no David Tennant either - boo!).
Should be good, really looking forward to it!
Burrito, you lucky person, you must report back here as soon as you've seen it and let us know how it is. Am so curious to hear about how this film is in English.
Gory, sweary, bloody and funny as hell! Great cast, too- it was like playing 'spot the voice'.
And no, they didn't get rid of the scottish accents thank *god*!
Could've done with more from the Gentlemen though. Steve was the only one who had enough lines to recognise his voice.

It follows the story of four low life anti-heroes: Gaz (voiced by ex-EastEnder Phil Daniels), Roy Arnie (Woody Harrelson), Odd (Simon Pegg) and Flea (Jay Simpson).
They are uprooted from the mean city streets to work with Ringmaster Stromowski (Jim Broadbent) in a touring Russian circus.
Fans of The Bill may also recognise Lisa Maxwell's vocal talents.
The actress, better known as DS Samantha Nixon, has also been working on The Power Of The Dark Crystal, a long-awaited animated follow-up to Jim Henson's 1983 classic, The Dark Crystal.
Maxwell provided the voice of elfin heroine Jen in that movie, and is reprising the role for the 2009 sequel.
