      I assure You in Czechia it would lead to a defenestration and in Slovakia to a military uprising.

      In Romania „Home Alone“ is the mandatory movie for Christmas. 🙃

      It’s important in Germany too. Not as a cherished national icon but loved by a lot of people.

      I managed to translate most of the name into English, but Aschenbrödel defeated my limited knowledge of German! I guessed ‚Aschen‘ correctly, but I would never have guessed ‚brödel‘!

      (It’s „Three hazelnuts for Cinderella“)

      Meanwhile in France, we have a Christmas movie called „Santa Claus is a bastard“. Welcome to Europe!

      Czechoslovak/East German movie – the movie is from 1973, so if you are going to use Easter Germany, you need to use Czechoslovak for the movie aswell as at that time those were the names for those countries

      Christmas wouldn’t be a real Christmas in Slovakia without this movie. The same goes for Home Alone and Perinbaba. 🙂

      In Finland we watch The Snowman at 11:30. Right after that everyone switches to another channel to watch the Christmas Peace Declaration, which is held in Turku, of all places.

      In Italy its „Una Poltrona per Due“. Italy can survive government failures and economic crises, but if it doesn’t air on Christmas Eve, it will cease to exist.

      About riots concerning Norwegian TV programs, I remember that people were furious on NRK’s Facebook page when they broadcasted the fire of Notre-Dame in Paris instead of the traditional Easter detective film in 2019.

      I don’t know if it’s better or worse than having to watch Kalle Ankas Jul at 15:00 promptly for the fiftyeleventh time.

      Perhaps we could swap one year, dear neighbour?

      This was shown in the UK in the late 70s or maybe early 80s in the children’s tv slot. The prince was the most handsome man I’d ever seen, and the woman was the most beautiful, and the whole thing was visually gorgeous, the snow, the waistcoat thing, the horses, the houses, I loved it. I’ve never seen it since, but recognised the screenshot immediately.

      Making plans to move to Norway immediately.

      Like how we Swedes watch Ivanhoe on New Year’s Day. Sam Neill has said in interviews that it is the „most bizarre thing I’ve ever heard“.

      By the way, this film (Три горішка для Попелюшки) is very popular at Christmas in Ukraine.

      Almost as much as “Die Hard” )))

      This movie was also very popular in post soviet countries (saw it many times as georgian)

      If I had had no knowledge of German at all, I could have translated it as Hasel=Hazing, nusse=f*ing (from Finnish nussi), Aschenbrödel = ass brothers. It would read out as Three Hazing f*cks for the Ass Brothers.

      Good I’m not a translator…otherwise it would sound like you watch gay porn as tradition. xD

      To add to the story: ALL the voices are done by the same person, who is a man. The different inflections he does for the different characters (especially the evil stepmum) is a real treat! Source: I’m Norwegian

      Hey, I remember that film. Saw it once on telly, around 10-15 years ago, visiting Ukraine.
