Terkel in Trouble

About This Movie

Terkel in Trouble is this quirky Danish animated flick that really dives into the chaos of middle school life. You’ve got Terkel, a sixth grader, whose life spirals after a black spider incident. The vibe is darkly comedic, with a mix of lighthearted moments and unexpected twists, especially with Uncle Stewart's unpredictable rages and the oddball teacher, Justin. The animation style has a raw, edgy feel that matches the chaotic narrative. The pacing might feel uneven at times, but it really mirrors Terkel's own struggles and misfortunes. This film really taps into themes of bullying, family dynamics, and the absurdity of adolescence in a way that’s both humorous and unsettling.
