Effortlessly enjoyable
Niko is a brash young reindeer living somewhere in the Finnish highlands of Lapland, brought up by his single mother and a flying squirrel called Julius. Niko’s real father is said to be a member of the famed fleet of flying reindeer in Santa’s sleigh, thus infusing the young calf with a dream to sail through the skies. His attempts to run the wind end with calamity, as he leads a pack of wolves onto the trail of his herd, thus forcing them to evacuate their haven – a valley hidden between the mountains and trees. Hence fraught with self-resentment Niko decides to leave heading North to join his father as part of Santa’s sleigh crew. Along the way he will learn the hard truths of life…

Thoroughly engaging, especially for my 5-year old, who was jumping in anticipation, joy and filtering through all the more tense moments, while at times incapable to hold back the emotions. In some ways a far cry from American fare, which shies away from more iffy subject matter (such as Nico’s true father turning out to be a narcissistic, high-flying womaniser). Somehow American viewers tend to turn a blind eye at on-screen violence in children’s movies, but a slight dosage of reality with blood-hungry wolves and the dissonance between truth and childhood imaginations, suddenly bring about a blow-back. “Niko” definitely treads on dangerous ground, making the movie not as family friendly as expected, given the Santa Claus plot line and the congestion of heavy concepts for youth, but all in all the mix was surprisingly workable with some very nice animation, superb character formation and a sweet tear-jerking resolve that will warm the coldest adult heart.

not bad it’s cute
well, i’m not really into Finnish animated movies, but i make an exception for this one. Not because the main character got my name (lol), but cause it’s cute, funny and touching. Ya OK, the animation’s good but the story somehow seems weak and lacking. However, it did a pretty good job to entertain me cause i really liked it. In this movie, Niko’s always practicing to fly like his dad, but the problem is he never met his dad. So, along with Julius, a lazy flying squirrel, he sets out for Santa’s Fell to find him. Like i said, the movie’s not bad, it’s really funny parts in it, especially when Niko drinks a beer and burps. But it also leaves a really good message about how to not give up on your dream, even if u get into trouble. So, i’m gonna give this movie a 8.5 out of 10, cause i think it was really well done even if the story wasn’t really strong.
