Info

A 3D-animation for the entire family! In this fantasy saga, Paavo is the strongest man and the chief in a small village. Everybody has to obey him. But the village blacksmith Sauli dares to defy Paavo and is driven away from the village. Everyone misses Sauli, especially his small adopted baby girl. The small village becomes the target of the evil Emperor’s antics. The villagers have to learn to cooperate in order to suppress the Emperor and his giant two-headed turkey. THE EMPEROR’S SECRET examines the themes of friendship, trust, community spirit and freedom with accurate fun perceptions. It is the first Finnish feature computer animation.
