His daddy, Halvar (Waldemar Kobus), is the chief of the Vikings, and would have liked a son a little more valiant and less fearful ; Vickie usually accompanies his dad, and his warriors on their adventures and often is the young who uses his wit and instincts to help the friends in their times of need . Havar orders his underlings to steal a knights convoy . The warriors have to take over but fail to see tiny Wicki being kidnapped with a cargo of Eskimo slaves, who also carry a strange manuscript on the eternal ice palace containing the Norse gods' treasure . Wickie and the Eskimo-slaves are in the slave-carriage but they escape . Yet, chief Halvar is trapped or hopelessly stuck somewhere and kidnapped by the nasty Sven (Gunther Kauffmann) and it's up to Wickie alone to help them out with his flashes of wit . So, Snorre (Christian Koch) , Tjore , Urobe take Wickie along on their voyages to give him the experience he'll need to be an actual Viking .

This fun movie contains adventures , emotion , humor , thrills , fights in Terence Hill-Bud Spencer style and results to be pretty entertaining . The actors are mostly unknown though enjoyable , almost every role has an appropriate resemblance to his or her cartoon counterpart and the performances are adequate . Most actors from first version repeat characters such as the likable Wickie well played by Jonas Hämmerle , Waldemar Kobus as Halvar , Nic Romm as Tjure , Christian Koch as Snorre , Olaf Krätke as Urobe and Günther Kaufmann as Der Schreckliche Sven , among others . Not only did the story convey us to great and funny adventures, it also showed how to solve problems without the use of force . A likable Vickie , he is an ordinary viking boy , he is also not very strong but with his flashes of intelligence saves the day , helping the crew to resolve the numerous problems they suffer . The movie looks and sounds amazing , if it had been a high-budget Hollywood production there probably wouldn't have been too much of a difference to the product at hand , apart from the addition of some overdone special effects made by computer generator . The music composers Nick Reich and Ralf Wengenmayr composed a magnificent work fitting the original melodies into the soundtrack as well as adding some new ones which really matched the film's mood. Colorful and evocative cinematography by Christian Rein .
The motion picture lavishly produced by Christian Becker , Constantine Films and Rat Pack was well and originally directed by Christian Ditter . The flick is as good as the original directed Michael Bully Herbig . Being even more spectacular and thrilling than the first version . Filmmaker Ditter is an expert on children and teen flicks as proved in "French for Beginners" , ¨The Crocodiles ¨and its sequel "The Crocodiles Strike Back" . Rating : 6,5 . Acceptable adventure film appointed for children and adolescents and ,of course, for vintage series fonds . Well worth seeing .
